The Bar Poker Open (BPO) is headed to Florida for the first-ever Bar Poker Open Florida World Championships taking place Nov. 10-15 at Palm Beach Kennel Club, and there are plenty of ways to join in on the festivities. The festival will culminate with the 2022 Florida World BPO Championship, which PokerNews will live report.

More than 500 Bar Poker players from across North America will participate in the 2022 Florida World Championship to compete for a guaranteed first-place prize of $40,000 and an expected prize pool of more than $150,000.

Aside from the World Championship, the five-day BPO festival will feature plenty of tournament and cash game action at the Palm Beach Kennel Club.

Only qualified players are allowed to participate in the Invitational Championship, but everyone else is more than welcome to participate in the open series across just five days with more than $400,000 in anticipated payouts.

Other than the World Championship, here are some highlights of the series:

  • Event 1 (Nov. 10-11) - $100,000 Guaranteed ��Florida Special�� - $250 Buy-in
  • Event 6 (Nov. 13) - Charity Series of Poker Celebrity Charity Poker Event - $150 Buy-In
  • Event 9 (Nov. 14) - $50,000 Guaranteed Deep-stack - $200 Buy-In

A Packed Schedule

The series will kick off with the $250 buy-in Florida Special event on Nov. 10, which will have four starting flights and guarantees a prize pool of $100,000. A $180 buy-in Friday Night Deep Stack event will take place the following day with a guaranteed $10,000 up for grabs.

Other events that will take place throughout the Florida series include a $160 Progressive Bounty event, a $150 Charity Series of Poker Celebrity Charity Poker Event and a $125 Pot-Limit Omaha event. There will also be a BPO Player Party on the evening of Nov. 13 for players to take a break from the tournament action.
