Pala casino will hold a free roll for its regular players on Saturday January 30th. A free roll with a difference. This is the $25k Annie Duke challenge. Annie appears in a TV commercial for rivals San Manuel but the Indian casinos must see her as the reconisable face of poker.

The event is open to the first 117 players to reach 100 hours of live play.As of today 28 players have qualified. Players have until January 27th to log in the hours.

The Pala casino is in a very scenic part of the SoCal wine country. It is a very clean casino with fine dining. Maybe, Yarom Limor will tag along with his friends Annie + Joe.. If he does he won’t find a McDonalds in the food court but a Sushi, Noodles, Deli and Mexican. The casino also boasts an Italian,Mamas, that makes it own ravioli.

The casino has live bands playing throughout the day and a lounge where the Pink Floyd Experience and the Romantics are scheduled to appear soon.

The poker room is an enclosed room with 19 tables. Today they had a 1-2 NLHE ($40-$400 buy in), 4-8 LHE with a kill and 3-6 Omaha h/l. They also had a $25 NLHE 7pm tournament.

Pala casino is a few miles down a winding narrow road from Pechanga casino. In fact Valley View, Harrahs Rincon and Pauma are all a short drive (or bus ride) away.
