The BetMGM Poker Tournament is nearing its climax! They’ve teamed up with PokerGO to broadcast the final table live from the PokerGO Studio at Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. This is a significant event, as it represents the first time BetMGM, the collaboration between MGM Resorts and Entain, will determine its victor in such a renowned venue.
Six contenders will face off on Sunday, June 26th, and viewers can watch all the action live on PokerGO. This competition is part of the broader Aria Poker Classic, a fixture in the summer poker schedule.
Increasing the anticipation, there’s a unique freeroll tournament on Wednesday, June 22nd, solely for those who earned a spot in the BetMGM Poker Championship online. Boasting a $25,000 prize pool, it’s a remarkable chance for these participants.
Luke Staudenmaier, Poker Director at BetMGM, highlighted the significance of this alliance, noting that PokerGO provides premium poker content, and this joint effort enables players to encounter the most memorable points of their poker adventure in the legendary PokerGO Studio.
The primary event, a No-Limit Hold’em tournament, commences on Thursday, June 23rd, showcasing four days of intense poker play. With a $3,500 entry fee and a $1 million assurance, the risks are substantial.
Furthermore, a BetMGM Poker Mystery Bounty event with a $600 buy-in is scheduled for Saturday, June 25th, introducing a contemporary element to the live poker scene at Aria.
Studenmaier finished by saying, “Featuring insights from renowned figures such as Jeff Platt and Jamie Kerstetter, competitors will vie for a place in poker annals on PokerGo.”
