Hold'em Tournament Brings Cigar Smokers Together

It seems like these days, every charity or special interest group is hosting Texas Hold'em tournaments and cigar enthusiasts apparently didn't want to miss out on the trend. At the Cigar Aficionado's second annual no-limit Texas Hold'em poker tournament, players got the chance to play their hand at Texas Hold'em, all the while sucking on their favorite stogies. The tournament was held on May 14th, when 55 cigar smoking poker fans came to Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel and Casino to compete for the prize pool of $28,000.

The Texas Hold'em tournament carried a $500 buy-in and a top prize of $14,000. Players were also provided with a three pack of Trinidad, Montecristo and H. Upmann Cameroon Vintage cigars, on the house.
