Savage continues, “The Cal State series is a great way for you not only to build your summer bankroll but to play many of the games you don’t see in other venues.” Savage says, “The Commerce California State Poker Championship is an annual series with 20 events and guarantees in excess of $1,000,000 with great structures you’ve come to expect at the Commerce.” Tournament Director Matt Savage always runs tournaments that feature a mix of games that appeal both to the professional and recreational player.

The series kicked off on Friday, April 29 with a $175 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Double Stack tournament featuring a $50,000 guarantee. The California State Poker Championship is currently running at Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, California.
