Binion's announced return of the
Binion's Poker Classic. This year's BPC
runs from May 28 through July 8, 2008.

The 41-day series includes 43 events,
the vast majority of which include a
very affordable entry fee designed
for the budget-minded player.
Entries for selected events are as low
as $90+10, with a $10 "bonus buy" for
an extra 2,000 in starting chips available
in the majority of events. The buy-ins
in most cases are designed to be about
one tenth that of corresponding events
going on at the World Series of Poker
at the Rio.

The two largest buy-in events of the BPC
are a June 27 PLO tournament ($950+50,
20,000 in starting chips), and the BPC's
championship event ($1,920+80, 25,000
in starting chips).


Satellites are available for selected events;
starting times and blind levels vary.
Binion's is suspended its normal 2pm
afternoon tourneys for the duration of the BPC.
More information is available on the
www.binions.com site.
