The Chicago Series of Poker is Chicago Charitable Games month long poker tournament series dedicated to giving players a great tournament structure as well as a chance to play in some of the different events that the World Series of Poker has to offer.  Chicago land charity poker players deserve a chance to play in different poker events than just your standard no limit holdem…in comes the Chicago Series of Poker or the CSOP.  20 Events, tons of different poker games, and plenty of deepstack tournaments, all building up to the $400 CSOP Main Event on the last Saturday of March.

Each Chicago Charitable Games charity poker event in March will have two CSOP tournaments offered.  Typically a crazy or mixed game and then the Deepstack tournament of the day.  There will be a CSOP points list kept for all the tournament winners (anyone who cashes in a CSOP event), and on the last Sunday of the Month the CSOP Most Valuable Player will be awarded a $500 CCG Prize Package.  This means that if you play and you cash in any CSOP tournament you could be crowned the CSOP MVP.  Last years winner will also be recognized on March 28th and will hand over his CSOP MVP Trophy (yes you get a trophy)! The Main Event will be charity poker at its finest, with a $400 buy in, it should be one of the most prestigious poker tournaments of the year, and it will be packed with Chicago lands poker powerhouses.
