Celebrate 23 Days of Christmas at Palm Beach Kennel Club During Card Player Poker TourCash Game Players Can Win Over $269,000 in Prizes |

The Card Player Poker Tour will stop at Palm Beach Kennel Club in West Palm Beach, Florida just before Christmas, but players can begin the holiday celebrations a bit early. Beginning Dec. 1, just prior to the start of the CPPT Dec. 5-16, Palm Beach Kennel Club will host a 23 Days of Christmas promotion for cash games players.
From the hours of 10am to 1am the player holding the highest hand among all cash games tables will win a prize every half hour. From 1am to 3am one prize will be awarded, making 31 prizes each day in total.
“For whatever reason we tried it five or six years ago and people loved it. We tweak it every year and we try and get the most up and coming things, the cutting edge stuff, things the players like to have,” said poker room manager Tim Wright. “We originally had it as the 12 Days of Christmas but it became to popular we made it the entire month leading up to Christmas instead.”
Prizes include Samsung LED Smart TVs, Apple Mini G4s, Macbook Pros, Beats headphones, Bose speakers and more. Players can also win gift cards worth $100 and $200.
“The players love it. They come in because they have the chance to win tickets to the WSOP, they can do their Christmas shopping with re-gifting and they can buy stuff cheaply,” Wright said. “If someone gets a prize they might not really want, they can sell it to someone else in the room.”
In order to be eligible for the high hand prize, player in hold’em games must use two hole cards and play the best possible five-card poker hand. Omaha players must flop the hand and Stud players must use two hole cards and three up cards. The highest hand of the hour can be any particular combination of cards and does not have to first meet a specific qualification such as a straight flush or quad fours or better.
“Other places put qualifiers on the hands and if no one gets it, they give out nothing,” said Wright. “We get a lot of early morning action because players know they could win the prize with 5-4 or something like that."
The promotion will end Dec. 23.
Palm Beach Kennel Club will be the second stop on Season II of the CPPT, which kicked off in August of 2013 at bestbet in Jacksonville, Florida. The tour will then stop at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut and Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nevada. The tour will return to Florida in May of 2014 for a second stop at bestbet.
The Poker Room at Palm Beach Kennel Club is one of the largest in the State of Florida. New laws now allow larger multi-table tournaments no-limit hold’em cash games; added or guaranteed tournament payouts, jackpots and promotional giveaways. The elegant air-conditioned room’s are completely non-smoking and include 60 poker tables. There are plenty of TV monitors and betting windows, so fans can watch, wager and win on all the greyhound and simulcast action. And there are Sports TVs to see all the big games. Tableside food and beverage service is also offered, so no one has to miss a hand.
