The complaints about the L.A. Poker Classic were started by Allen Kessler last week on Twitter. It is Kessler’s belief that numbers dropped at the prestigious event due to structure tweaks. There were few who agreed with Kessler simply on this point, but there is a larger argument in play. The unique structure of the LAPC is what it makes one of poker’s ‘must play’ events each and every year. There are a few tweaks that can be made but this major event has a formula that works.Leveling upLa Poker Classic 2019 Winner
Detailed information about the No-Limit Hold’em ($100,000 Guaranteed) poker tournament at the 2021 Tampa Poker Classic on Feb 17, 2021 in Tampa, FL. Our marquee international tournaments where winners enter the illustrious Champions Club™ and have their name etched on the coveted Champions Cup™. 1/24/2021-1/31/2021 Eastern Caribbean. Play poker on the spectacular Oasis of the Seas with HPT and Card Player Cruises and explore exciting ports in the Caribbean. Book now for as little as $757 per person. Must Be 18 to Play.
The World Series of Poker Main Event is the crown jewel of all tournaments. One detail that makes it such is the inclusion of two-hour levels for the duration of the event. Days 3 and 4 of LAPC have this benefit added and it marks the progression of a structure that fits all stages of the tournament.La Poker Classic 2021
Kessler believes that one-hour levels on Day 1 are a mistake and prefers 90. This is incorrect.
For a freezeout event, eliminations have to come at some point in order for the tournament to proceed. A structure tailored for eight 60-minute levels on Day 1 forces action by the end of the night and pulls the field down to a number that allows for the money bubble to hit on Day 3.
Survive Day 1 and you are rewarded with 90-minute levels on Day 2. Simple as that.Difficult terrain
To build off of a point made by David Baker, poker tournaments are created like golf courses. Not all of them have to be the same, and if you don’t like one, you can play another. Five Diamond and LAPC are both $10,000 events but carry two different structures. The unlimited re-entry at Five Diamond combined with 90-minute levels throughout gives a different feel than LAPC.
Both tournaments take five days to reach the 60-minute final table, they just take different routes to get there. If Five Diamond and LAPC were the exact same structure, why even have the two events?
The former Bay 101 Shooting Star structure and WPT Rolling Thunder event go down to six-handed and 90-minute levels when the field hits 36 players. The addition of Six Max poker is a welcome sight to those who want some spice of life when playing a WPT.Time to add a full live stream
Poker Central and PokerGO created a new age in poker with the abundance of live streamed final tables. The product is a proven winner and there is a step further they could go to bring in more fans to their subscription-based model.
Poker PROductions set up in Los Angeles days in advance to bring coverage of the final table. Next year, the crew can bring two extra table sets with them to stream from the final three tables down to a winner.
PokerGO wants to put stars on their broadcasts and Phil Hellmuth, as well as Chance Kornuth, fit the bill. The two players placed in the top-20 at LAPC but the only way to experience their run was through live updates. Live streams are the present and future of poker and including them before a final table is music to viewers’ ears. A Hellmuth rant going viral benefits PokerGO.
Does the cost of extra tables add up to the benefit of putting stars like Hellmuth on one of poker’s largest stages? It’s an interesting thought that fans want to see answered with a resounding yes.What to do to bring up the field size?
Matt Savage can’t be pleased with the drop off from 500-plus entrants in Seasons XIV and XV to 493 in 2018. The $1 million guaranteed first-place prize fell into place to draw out East Coasters who were on the fence to justify the costs of flying cross-country for what could ultimately be only an hour of play. Ask Ari Engel.
The loss of Bay 101 on the schedule hurt LAPC. Assuming that marquee event does not return to the schedule in Season XVII, what does LAPC do to bring up numbers? The option of changing the structure is not available.

Amid aflurry of pokertournamentsstaged over the past couple of weeks, the World Poker Tour has arguably left the most prestigious one for last. The WPT L. A. Poker Classic (known by the acronym LAPC) is a venerable stop on the circuit that will begin action on Saturday, bringing back a nostalgia for the way that tournament poker used to run. It’s the finale for one of the biggest festivals in poker that doesn’t have “World Series of Poker” in front of it.
Only Tournament That Has Been on the WPTSchedule Since Inception
Officially, the L. A. Poker Classic datesback to 1993, making it one of the longest tournament series in the world. Onlythe World Series of Poker (born 1970) and the Irish Poker Open (created in1980) can make claims to have being contested consistently longer than theLAPC. The WPT has been a part of the mix since their very first season ofaction back in 2003, making it the only event that has been able to stay on theroster for the 18 years that the WPT has existed.
What makes the WPT L. A. Poker Classic atournament that everyone wants to take part in? First, the very history that isexplained above – not to mention the prestigious “Bronco Buster” trophy thatgoes to the victor of every event (the WPT version of the Frederic Remington trophyweighs in at 44 pounds!) – makes it a must play stop on the tournament circuit.The crème of the tournament poker world comes out to the Commerce Casino foraction in the event, from the lowest buy-in preliminary events to the WPT event.
Second, the WPT L. A. Poker Classic is athrowback to the way that tournament poker “used to be” and some would argueshould be again. The $10,000 buy in ensures that there will be a sizeable purse(even in its first year in 2003, the WPT LAPC drew in 136 players for a $1.3million prize pool). There’s also NO REBUYS for the tournament, making it moreof a challenge instead of the “free for all” style of poker that comes aboutwith the unlimited “re-entries” and multiple Day Ones. The worst part of it?The WPT LAPC will not be played to conclusion; it is one of the tournamentsthat the WPT has decided to move to the HyperX eSports Arena in Las Vegas,where it will be decided in April.
Finally, the lineage of champions for theWPT L. A. Poker Classic reads like a “Who’s Who” of the poker world. Defendingchampion David ‘ODB’ Baker stopped Darren Elias and the late John Smith fromtaking the title in 2019 and he is expected back to try to keep his crown.Baker is just the latest notable name to join the roster of LAPC champions,including Daniel Strelitz (2017), Anthony Zinno (2015), Chris Moorman (2014),Sean Jazayeri (2012), Phil Ivey (2008), Michael Mizrachi (2005), AntonioEsfandiari (2004) and inaugural champion Gus Hansen (2003).
Season XVIII Player of the Year RaceTightens Up
The 2020 WPT L. A. Poker Classic is going to offer some big time points for the Player of the Year race as one of the big-dollar tournaments on the schedule. As such, there is a great chance for players to creep into the mix for the Season XVIII Player of the Year mix. Over the past couple of weeks, that battle has tightened up considerably after it once looked like a runaway.
Riding the two final tables he’s enjoyed on the Season XVIII schedule (including one win) and leading the final table of a third tournament, Brian Altman is the man people are looking to catch. He’s been able to build up 2100 points as he surges towards the line and the POY title. Eric Afriat may have something to say about that, however, as his recent title win at the WPT Fallsview Poker Classic pushed him up the ladder into second place with 1700 points. WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic champion Alex Foxen added 50 points to his total by cashing at the Fallsview event, but it wasn’t enough to hold off Afriat with his 1450 points.
Here’s the remainder of the race for the SeasonXVIII WPT Player of the Year:
1. Brian Altman, 2100 points
2. Eric Afriat, 1700
3. Alex Foxen, 1450
4. Donald Maloney, 1400*
5. Toby Joyce, 1400
6. Geoffrey Hum, 1300
7. Aaron Van Blarcum, 1275
8. Milen Stefanov, 1200
9. Kevin Albers, 1200*
10. Simon Brandstrom, 1200*
(* – ties broken by tournament earnings)
The potential champion of the WPT L. A. Poker Classic would cast themselves right into the mix of the POY race. Should the prize pool for the tournament crack the $4 million mark (546 players turned out in 2019, building a $5.1 million prize pool), 1400 points will be available for the champion. This would mean that any player in the Top 61 on the WPT POY leaderboard would catapult over Altman (should he not cash in the WPT LAPC).
Cards will hit the air on Leap Day at noon (Pacific Time), with eight levels scheduled for action without a dinner break (another “old school” move). The excitement will be palatable as the WPT begins one of their legendary events, looking to crown their next poker millionaire.
