Epic Poker Pro-Am to Be Broadcast via Heartland TV

I won my seat early … and since then I\’ve been watching the field grow for Epic Poker\’s inaugural $1,500 pro-am at the Palms, Pokerati\’s regular low-stakes NLH/PLO home.

With @Donkeybomber so far my toughest potential competition … well, let\’s just say I\’m starting to get excited about the actual poker at hand in early August. And though TV exposure had nothing to do with my initial interest … that\’s apparently now part of it, with Epic\’s recently acquired sister company, the Heartland Poker Tour, coming to Vegas to film the tournament for syndicated distribution on its nationwide network of local TV stations, some of which are actually in HD.

(Yay!)

That might seem a little minor-league for the more-pro, less-am players in Vegas … but hey, this $1,500 event will be my second-biggest tournament to play in ever — so HPT coverage seems just about right for me and Tom Schneider at this point in my pro career. Having won my way into the August 5-7 tournament, I\’ve clearly got game that\’s ready for UHF.
