Californian casino hosts poker pro
A casino in California will be hosting a poker tournament next month - and professional card player Scotty Nguyen is set to appear at the event.

Coachella Valley's Spotlight 29 Casino will provide the backdrop for the no-limit games due to be played in 30-minute rounds.

Dubbed the All Star Poker Challenge, the event will run over two days between October 18th and 19th.

The winner will gain entry to the Pro Bowl in Honolulu next February, as well as taking home a large cash prize.

In a statement this week, the hosting venue said: "Put the spotlight on All Star Poker action at Spotlight 29 Casino, the Coachella Valley's most exciting place to play."

Professional player Nguyen has had some bad press of late after misbehaving in a specially-arranged poker tournament.

The card sharp used foul language during the Chip Reese Memorial $50,000 (£30,000) HORSE tournament and was criticised by some of the poker media.
