BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, will be headlining the 2023 ARIA Poker Classic for the second consecutive year with the BetMGM Poker Championship, which PokerNews will live report.

"It's great to bring BetMGM players back to Las Vegas during one of poker's most exciting times of the year��, said Director of BetMGM Poker Luke Staudenmaier. ��For a second straight year, ARIA is delivering a Championship event and we are happy to continue to build on our relationship with MGM Resorts, while connecting BetMGM online players to the best poker rooms in the United States."

$2 Million Guarantee Doubled from Last Year

2022 was the first time the BetMGM Poker Championship ran and a $1 million guaranteed prize pool was offered in the inaugural event.

This year, the guaranteed prize pool has doubled, and at least 100 qualifiers will be making their way to ARIA to battle it out on the felt for a piece of the $2 million guarantee after winning their way in from BetMGM Poker markets including New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada.

"Partnering with BetMGM for another summer championship is a tremendous opportunity for us to offer poker players a one-of-a-kind experience��, said MGM Resorts Director of Poker Strategy Sean McCormack. ��ARIA has doubled the guarantee from last year to $2 million, giving the competitors the chance to win one of our industry��s top prize pools."
