With Pro Player Deuel in attendance, presenters are certain other pros will follow suit. The steeper entry fees plus $5,000 in added money are sure to attract players, fans, and enthusiasts alike. And Bogies is ready for the crowd, with 12,000 square feet featuring 31 tables, diamond lights, and bleacher seating. For superb play, all tournament tables will be recovered in Simonis 860, each garnished with a measle cue ball and set of centennial balls.
Inside and outside industry businesses are taking advantage of the affordable 3-day rates for booth and banner spaces. Joe Salazar, the Connoisseur of fine cues, will be in attendance along with an official APA Merchandise booth, Poison & Predator booth, cue repair, clothing, and much more. Bogies is converting its almost 2,000 square foot poker room into additional retail space which will double as a players’ break room. This additional space is all inclusive, with a full bar, flat screen TV’s, steel darts, and its own set of restrooms.
