World Series of Poker champs to teach at the inaugural Academy

Some of the top names in poker, and former World Series of Poker champs will be passing on their expertise and knowledge at the first WSOP Academy in Tunica next January 27 - 28; on the tuition staff roll call are Greg Raymer, Joe Navarro, Scott Fischman and Alex Outhred.

Post Oak Productions, a Toronto-based live events company is organising the tuition after collaborating with Phil Hellmuth on a series of successful camps at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas before connecting with Harrah's Entertainment to bring the WSOP Academy to Harrah's properties in America.

The two-day camp will focus on poker education and interaction with the pros and is comprised of poker seminars; interactive workshops and the opportunity to apply the knowledge learned in a No Limit Texas Hold 'em tournament with the pros.

"We have designed a curriculum that has been written and endorsed by our team of pro instructors," a Post Oak spokesman said. "It provides players with the tools that will take their game to the next level."

There are three teaching methods used during the camp: live demonstrations, seminars including Q&A, and tournaments. Areas to be covered include skills, tournament strategies and applications, the tells of pokers, Internet poker, cash games and sit-n-go's. Although the two-day session is pricey at $1 699, many of those who attended past camps feel it is a worthwhile investment that will have a payback when they use their new skills to win their share of pots.
