Caesars Palace is once again the setting for a major poker tournament, the 2006 Jeff Gordon Foundation Poker Classic. The tournament was scheduled to begin on Tuesday, but was moved to today. The festivities got underway with a red carpet introduction of NASCAR drivers, sports stars and professional poker players. Jeff was joined in the Caesars Place tournament poker area by Tony Stewart, Robbie Gordon, Scotty Nguyen, Chrtis Moneymaker, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Robert Williamson III, Steve Dannenmann, George Rogers, Samantha Cole and Harry Morton along with many others for a No-limit Hold'em tournament to benefit the Jeff Gordon Charity Foundation. 1998 WSOP Main Event Champion, Scotty Nguyen. 1998 WSOP Main Event Champion, Scotty Nguyen. The table winners in the shoot-out style tournament will combine into a final table at 6:00 this evening to determine the champion of the event. The crowds were lining the rails and the red carpet, even at the early hour of 10:00 AM (Remember, this is Las Vegas and 10 in the morning is damn early unless you stayed up all night). Professional players remaining at mid-afternoon are Chris Moneymaker, Steve Dannenmann and Chris Ferguson. Jeff Gordon was eliminated after a good showing while the 1998 WSOP Main Event Champion, Scotty Nguyen, was one of the first players to leave when his all-in pocket Kings were defeated by an Ace on the turn for pocket Aces and it was a quick exit for Scotty.
