Last week, PokerNews’ own Jesse Fullen and Matt Hansen traveled from Las Vegas to the other side of the country for our weeklong “East Coast Road Trip.” While there, they visited Rivers Philadelphia, formerly known as Sugar House Casino.
Their 28-table enclosed poker room hosted the $1,100 buy-in, $200K GTD Ultra Rush Event this past weekend, a tournament that attracted 622 entrants and awarded $51,000 to the winner. The successful poker event came on the heels of an organizational change at the property.
