Talk about a Rush! The next stop on the World Poker Tour is the largest poker tournament in northern California history. The WPT and Lucky Chances Casino host the Gold Rush Tournament with a half million dollar prize pool and one of the rowdiest final tables ever assembled. This battle by the bay includes Antonio Esfandiari, a handsome and young magician whose goal in life seems to be to irritate the poker superstar to his right, Phil Hellmuth. Hellmuth is poker's five million dollar man, with an uncanny, almost psychic ability to know players' cards. Also in the hunt is retired Swiss businessman turned poker phenom Chris Bigler and New Haven Hip Hop promoter Paul Darden Jr. The action is fast, the talk is over the top and only one player will ultimately claim the top prize -- on the World Poker Tour.
