MBA Poker Championship in Vegas

This sounds kind of cool. Maybe some of the J-term poker players (including me) will give this a shot...



The 2008 MBA Poker Championship in Las Vegas will be held from January 18th to the 20th at Caesar's Palace.

Hundreds of MBA students from the country's top schools compete annually in the event for over $150,000 in cash and prizes. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Alzheimer's Association.

The tournament organizers use the event both to market to the MBA demographic and to recruit MBA students. Submission of a resume is required during the registration process.

Beyond interested poker players, students interested in career opportunities with Harrah's and other leaders in the hospitality industry should consider joining us as well. Recruiters will be on hand during the weekend.

A growing number of us are planning on going. Please let me know if you're interested in joining us. For one, we can see about negotiating a group discount with a hotel.
