Winner pockets $3M

Advertiser Staff and News Services

The World Poker Tour Championship has finally arrived. The surprisingly popular TV show that brought Texas Hold 'Em into the national spotlight has a field of 111 players, 12 champions and $3 million in prize money this year. The event's $25,000 buy-in is the largest in history, with a table of championship poker players and a man who will gamble on anything. Catch the season debut at 3 p.m. today on the Travel Channel. If you miss it, it airs again at 6 p.m. today and Sunday.

Fast-forward to Indigo for 'Speedo' screening

If you feel the need for speed — or rather, to crash — don't miss "Speedo" at the Opium Den at Indigo Eurasian Cuisine tonight. The documentary starts at 8 p.m. and follows the racing career and troubled family life of Ed "Speedo" Jager, a demolition-derby driver. It captures Speedo's collisions and confrontations on and off the track during one tumultuous year. Cost is $3 for Cinema Paradise members, $5 general admission. Call 550-0496 or visit www.CinemaParadise.org for more information.
