Calling All Business Tycoons

This year’s installment of the Executive Poker Tour kicks off Jan. 11-14 at the Trump Taj Mahal. It’s a busy month for major poker tournaments in Atlantic City as the World Poker Tour starts on Jan. 15 at the Borgata.

Steve Dannenmann, Rhett Butler, Victor Ramdin and Lee Childs are all confirmed for the event.

Part of what makes the Executive Poker Tour intriguing is the lucrative cash game that is played during the event. This cash game isn’t for meager bankrolls. The minimum buy-in is $100,000, which puts at least $1 million on the table for Saturday’s side game.

The tournaments are a little more affordable.
