Last week, PokerNews�� own Jesse Fullen and Matt Hansen traveled from Las Vegas to the other side of the country for our weeklong ��East Coast Road Trip.�� While there, they visited Rivers Philadelphia, formerly known as Sugar House Casino.

Their 28-table enclosed poker room in Pennsylvania hosted the $1,100 buy-in, $200K GTD Ultra Rush Event this past weekend, a tournament that attracted 622 entrants and awarded $51,000 to the winner. The successful poker event came on the heels of an organizational change at the property.
