Insiders win big at Livermore

Livermore Casino’s Insider Main Event on Oct. 13 capped off the most recent four-month tournament series. The Main Event started with 40 hungry players who battled their way to the final table, all in hopes of taking home the $5,600 first place prize.

After a contentious four-hour tournament, the top 10 players chopped the pot, each walking away with $1,450. Stay tuned for their next big tournament series—some exciting changes are in store for Livermore Casino.

Recently, Livermore Casino launched their Tournament Chip Bonus, where $5 gets you an extra 1,000 in tournament chips. They also updated the daily tournament schedule.

Note that there is no longer a Tuesday evening tournament. Please check the tournament listing in the back pages of this issue (or on their website at LivermoreCasino.net) for full details.
