The Des Plaines Poker Network

Des Plaines, IL

Three Title Bracelets will be on the line Jan. 15 & 16 as players from around the world meet for Chicagolands most prestigious championship poker series. The Quad-States Poker Grand Championships are sanctioned by Chicago Poker News as the Official Championship of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Both a No-Limit Texas Holdem event and a Mixed Games (No-Limit HOSE) event are scheduled. Title bracelets will be awarded for the champion of each of these tournaments and to the player with the highest overall average finish for both events. All tournaments will be double-elimination style with one optional re-buy and/or add-on available. Chicago Poker News publisher Stew "Chicago Mike" Bishop describes this structure as "truly a championship... double elimination tests a players ability to come back from the felt... the great players have that talent... effectively, to win these titles you will have to 'beat everyone twice'..."

The Quad-States tournaments are among the highest-percentage payout structure, offering over a 90% prizepool payout at full buy-in & rebuy in addition to trophies and the coveted Championship Title Bracelets. "The payout percentage for these tournaments is about as high as it gets", said Bishop, "... gamblers can do the math and recognize the value here..."

Despite the popularity of the Texas Holdem Event, Bishop advises players not to overlook the Mixed Games Championship: "... Texas Holdem gets alot of attention these days, since Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP in 2003...", says Bishop, "... I've been managing poker events almost 20 years now, I can tell you absolutely, without question, the number one way to improve your poker game is to play Mixed Games. It's like an athlete needs to cross train, a poker player needs to play all the games if they want to get to the top... that's one reason Chicago Poker News recognizes this series as the 4-State Championship, because it offers both Texas Holdem AND Mixed Games, and it offers a great payout..."

A special hotel room rate will be available to players at the event. See calendar page for complete details.

Chicago is legendary for the warmth and hospitality of it's citizens and players will appreciate the professionalism and courtesy of Poker Manager Dom Niro and the entire tournament staff at the Majestic Star.

On behalf of a great city and a great venue, the Chicago Poker Meetup Group wishes all players the very best of success at the Quad-States Poker Grand Championships and we'll see you at the final table!

Live Jazz & Dinner Network (Ex- Live Jazz & Dessert Network)

Oak Park, IL

Hi Jazz Lovers! Live Jazz and Dessert is changing our format a bit to make our concerts more accessible to jazz lovers throughout the year. We're now called "Live Jazz & Dinner." Instead of one concert a month in our living room, we’ll be meeting for a jazz jam at a wonderful Oak Park restaurant - Tre Sorelle Ristorante by Mancini at 1111 Lake Street - every Sunday from 4 to 7 PM. You can enjoy dinner while listening to the GREAT Tre Sorelle house band featuring John Scoville on drums, Doug Lalli on keys, Tony Morrison on bass and Dave Gulyas on guitar. Since the restaurant is small, you’ll be able to see and hear everything and feel like you’re part of the band no matter where you sit. Tre Sorelle is known for a very large menu that includes American dishes as well as all the entrees you’d expect from a traditional Italian bistro. There are vegetarian choices including gluten-free pasta and a full bar with a wide choice of wines, beers and cocktails, plus homemade gelato and other awesome desserts. **The cost? Whatever you want to spend on your meal. And that’s it! There’s NO COVER and parking in Oak Park is FREE on Sunday’s no matter where you park including the village lot across the street.** **This venue is growing in popularity but we'll reserve a table for the first 10 members of our MeetUp Group that RSVP on this site. Please RSVP by Saturday to make sure you get a spot. To learn more about the menu visit [https://tresorelleoakpark.com/](https://tresorelleoakpark.com/).** We realize that many of you loved the idea of private concerts in our living room – so did we. Unfortunately, the bad news is we weren’t able to keep them going on a regular basis. But the good news is you’ll still be able to hear Doug and Dave play all your jazz favorites and more every Sunday at Tre Sorelle. **Of course, if you’d like to have Doug and Dave or other musicians perform in YOUR living room, please be assured that they are available! Just call Doug at 708-228-7150 to book him for your next event.**
