Commerce Casino Poker Series Main Event Guarantees $500,000 Prize Pool
A Los Angeles area favorite, the Commerce Poker Series held at the Commerce Casino advertises as a low buy-in, big guarantee series �� and that's exactly what it has offered this time around. The series that began on Aug. 31 has attracted many players from the area and beyond, but more importantly to most value-hunting players, it has also offered extra value in the form of some pretty massive overlays.
So far in the series, there have been multiple tournaments that have missed their lofty guarantees, resulting in nearly $20,000 added to various events' prize pools. With the biggest one right around the corner, the Commerce Poker Series Main Event seems like a can't-miss tournament.
The $1,100 Main Event Kicks Off
The $500,000 guaranteed Main Event running this weekend is by far the highlight of the series with its 30,000 starting stack, Big Blind ante structure and three starting flights for an $1,100 buy-in. The three flights kick off at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and those who make it to Day 2 will combine to play down to a winner on Sunday, Sept. 16.
While the $1,100 buy-in may be a bit steep for some bankrolls, Commerce offers players plenty of chances to get in for cheaper - at a price point of $175. You can check out the Main Event satellites in the schedule below.
