The nomadic poker room at Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Potawatomi Casino Hotel will make its long-awaited return on May 2, following another round of major property renovations at the Menomonee River Valley venue not far from the city's downtown. Poker-player representation agency Above the Felt has confirmed that three of the agency's contracted pros, Jamie Kerstetter, Jaman Burton, and Matt Berkey, will be on hand for the grand re-opening ceremonies. Burton and Berkey are also members of the PokerOrg Player Advisory Board

The three well-known pros will participate in the room's opening festivity, and then will co-host a special meet-up game (MUG) with the casino's cash-game players. The special meet-up game is scheduled to start at noon on May 2.

"We are proud to join forces with Potawatomi Casino Hotel to celebrate this occasion," said Tom Wheaton, Above the Felt's founder and CEO. "This partnership underscores our shared commitment to enhancing the poker experience for poker players in the region by bringing together top poker talent to interact with players, fans, and followers alike."

Venue's poker room has bounced from location to location

The poker room at 'The Pot' has been in operation for decades, albeit intermittently, as it's been shuffled on the casino's second floor over the years. Some of the room's movement has been due to multiple, major expansions of the casino itself.
