New Jersey online poker players who are thinking about heading out west to play some cards have a new opportunity to win their way to Las Vegas. That’s because the partypoker US Network is hosting a special event this month called the Ultimate Super Satellite Tournament in which the prizes involve traveling to Sin City.
The $1,060 buy-in no-limit hold’em, eight-handed tournament takes place Sunday, June 20 at 8 p.m. The event will take place across all three NJ sites in the partypoker US network: BetMGM Poker, Borgata Poker, and partypoker NJ.
The tournament will award three guaranteed prizes worth $25,000 each to be used to buy into major tournaments in Las Vegas. Should more players take part, for every additional 25 entries another $25,000 tournament package will be added.
Winners will use the $25,000 to play live poker tournaments in Las Vegas according to the following schedule:
- June 25-July 2 – Las Vegas $10K buy-in event
- July 2-7 – Las Vegas $5K buy-in event
- Nov. 4-17 – Las Vegas $10K buy-in event
Poker rooms have been reopening across the country of late, including in Nevada. As a result, Las Vegas appears poised once again to offer a busy schedule of tournaments this summer. Meanwhile, the World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas will take place Sept. 30-Nov. 23 this year.
Thus should the event primarily appeal to NJ poker players already planning trips to Vegas this summer as well as for the WSOP in the fall.
