Maricopan Poker Tournament
The Maricopan Poker Tournament is an annual poker tournament created by citizen Munditenens Tresplet as a way to increase the provincial activity in what was the slightly inactive province of Maricopa in late July of 2012. The Tournament kicks off the annual poker season sponsored by the Colossal Provincial Poker Playing Organisation (C-3PO for short).

The Second Place prize was a picture of the First Place trophy, which was just out of their reach. (Six people signed up; only 3 showed up.)
