Below is Gene Trimble's post from earlier today.

"Notice to the Board"

I am very sad to say that I resign as convention poker tournament chairman. It has been a fun 3 years and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I will also not accept an appointment as elections chairman as I did for the last 2 elections.

I apologize to the members of the CCGTCC and especially to George Conrad, for this abrupt decision.

I can not and will not, in good conscience, aid and abet the current board of the CCGTCC in turning over our convention to the slabbing companies. I will continue my membership in the CCGTCC and continue to fight the slabbing companies along with The Slabree Chapter."
