National Deaf Poker Tour Ends At Venetian In Las Vegas
July 28, 2008
The National Deaf Poker Tour has been in operation since 2006. Over the weekend, the tour made a final stop at the Venetian in Las Vegas where it was also drawn to a close.
The tour comprised of four stops in various casinos, and The Venetian in Las Vegas was the last of these. The tour was developed so that deaf players could participate in poker tournaments and be able to communicate with one another with greater ease.
Over the weekend there were four events held with the main event being a $200-buy-in which saw 136 players take part in. In the end Jonathan Collins and Matthew Erickson split the first and second prizes taking away with them over $5,700 each.
Everyone was delighted with the success of the tournament, and no one more so than the founders. James Rydstrom had this to say, "We wanted to be able to have a deaf-only tournament to provide us the privilege of playing in a tourney where we can talk to anyone around us. If I was playing in a World Series of Poker Event among non-deaf players, I would not be able to pick up on what's being said around the table. This is our event, where there are no barriers of communication."
