Scotty Nguyen Poker Challenge V Set to Begin October 30th

The fifth installment of the Scotty Nguyen Poker Challenge is set to begin on October 30th and continue well into November. The Challenge will take place at the Cherokee Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma and have an estimated prize pool of more than $2.5 million.

David Stewart, the Chief Executive Officer of Cherokee Nation Enterprises, who runs the Cherokee casinos, has stated they have made changes to the Challenge this year. Stewart stated that they have listened to what players have had to say about the tournament and have decided to take their advice.

The tournament has been moved to the second floor grand ballroom so more live cash games can take place in the poker room. The length of the tournament has been shortened but more events have been added to each day. The Challenge will have thirty one events.
