NO BUY-IN REQUIRED: 50 hours at the table will get you into January's big tournament, where the top cash will be $40,000.
It’s a free roll at a big pay day. Interested?
While that other famous poker tournament readies next week to shuffle up and deal its final table, Station Casinos is set to start our own big-money Las Vegas poker tournament.
Qualifying for the $300,000 Poker Plus Tournament starts this Sunday (Nov. 1), and runs until December 31 at all participating Station Casinos poker rooms. Basically, players need to be dealt in at one of our poker tables for 50 hours (one long session for some players) during the two-month span to qualify for the big Texas Hold’em tournament, which will be held Jan. 9 and 10, 2010 at Texas Station.
“There is no buy-in; just log 50 hours of live action on your Boarding Pass,” said Mike Doe, poker manager at Red Rock Resort. “All players that play the tournament are guaranteed at least $75 when they are eliminated from the tournament.” Additionally, qualifying comp points will be awarded at the rate of 600 points per hour during the next two months, while from 3am through 9am points will be awarded at a rate of 1,800 points per hour.
Doe said he will be rooting for short-stacked Phil Ivey to win that other tournament’s main event bracelet because Mr. Ivey is an occasional guest on the Red Rock gaming floor. Will Ivey, often regarded as the best poker player in the world, get a seat at Station Casinos’ $300,000 Poker Plus Tournament?
“Only if he qualifies,” Doe said.
