Harvard MBAs Play Poker
This is a pretty interesting idea - want to have a very smart set of people play poker and make it interesting - why not just recruit MBAs from the top business schools. Joe Godfrey is one of the new breed of MBA poker players. At the bottom of Joe Godfrey’s resume, below his Harvard Business School degree, is another of his accomplishments: poker champion.
In 2006, Godfrey was a winner at Harrah’s Entertainment Inc.’s inaugural MBA Poker Championship, beating 470 students and alumni from what Harrah’s says were mostly top-20 U.S. business schools.
The three-day event, which requires entrants to submit resumes, is set for its fifth edition Jan. 15-17 at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and doubles as a recruiting opportunity for the world’s biggest casino company and tournament sponsors. It was founded on the popularity of poker on business-school campuses.
