If you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse, they walk around with meat and you can eat as much as you want. There's also a salad bar if you're into that kind of thing.
Mike Matusow, who won a CSOP event in 2025, is one of the many guests you can play with on Feb. 24. All you can eat, baby

You can also hang out with poker people like Mike Matusow, Matt Savage, Tyler Patterson, Jonathan Little and Sean McCormick.

Everything benefits the CSOP and their charitable efforts throughout the year, which total $8 million and counting over in 93 events the last 12 years.
