Star-Studded Field Expected for $3,500 BetMGM Poker Championship

BetMGM Poker Championship
BetMGM Poker Championship

Welcome to Day 1a of the second-ever $3,500 BetMGM Poker Championship, which plays out inside the wonderful ARIA Resort & Casino as part of the 2023 ARIA Poker Classic.

The BetMGM Poker Championship is scheduled over five days (June 9-13), which includes two starting flights followed by Days 2, 3, and 4.

Day 1a, 1b, and 2 all get underway at noon local time, with Day 3 beginning at 1 p.m. and moving to the PokerGO Studio. Day 4, when the final table forms, is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. and will be live-streamed.

A stacked field is expected, with some of poker's biggest names taking some time away from the 2023 World Series of Poker to make the short journey to the ARIA poker room. Also among the field will be the 100 or so qualifiers who booked their seat for a fraction of the price on BetMGM Poker.

For the $3,500 buy-in, players receive a 40,000 starting stack and must navigate ten 60-minute levels to advance to Day 2. The tournament permits one reentry per flight, with late registration closing after Level 8 (approx. 9 p.m.). Players will receive a 15-minute break every two levels, and pre-purchased seats will have their chips in play from the beginning. This year's flagship tournament instalment has also doubled the guarantee to $2 million!

The starting flights will play nine-handed, while from Day 2, all tables will be eight-handed. The unofficial final table will start when nine players remain, with the official final table set when the tournament is down to its last seven entrants.

A 30-second shot clock will be introduced one full table outside the posted payouts. The number of time extensions given to the players will be based on field size. Approximately 1 in 8 entries (12.5%) will make the money.

Joey Weissman Wins Inaugural BetMGM Poker Championship Main Event ($224,236)

Joey Weissman
Joey Weissman

Joey Weissman took down last year's edition of the event for $224,236 after defeating Paul Hoefer at heads-up play.

One hand that propelled Weissman to victory was when he rivered a Royal Flush to send out Michael Wang, who had a full house.

The inaugural tournament saw 343 entries, creating the $1.1 million prize pool. And among those to grab a large slice of that was Benji Felson, who finished in fifth place for $51,587. Felson, the last BetMGM Poker qualifier standing, satellited into the tournament for just $500.
