Ahead of the upcoming WPT LA Poker Classic that takes place in February, the Commerce Casino has undergone a major renovation and expansion of its poker room, already considered the largest in the world.

One of the biggest changes has been to take the Crowne Ballroom, which is usually reserved for large turnout poker events and othe assorted happenings, and turn it into a permanent poker room. The room's amenities have been upgraded at the same time and now include comfortable extended play chairs and flat-panel TVs throughout the playing area.

The L.A. Poker Classic begins on Jan. 24 with the $10,000 buy-in WPT championship event starting on Feb. 23, but the new room and all its amenities are now open to the public.

If you want to head to L.A. and experience the new poker room and hang out with poker and movie stars, then head over to Bodog and play for your chance to win a Bodog "Player's Choice" package. Winners of a $12,000 "Player's Choice" package will have the choice to enter a WPT or EPT event with a $10,000 or less buy-in and receive swag and bonus contracts that could increase potential earnings.
