That means the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational is on the horizon and will get underway Friday. The CKLV typically has one of the strongest fields and this year is no exception. Later in the week we'll have an actual preview of the action, but before then, let's take a look back at some history at the event. We've gone back to 2010 to find out who had the most champions, placewinner, and other vital information.
