Bellagio Kicks Off Festa Al Lago Poker Tournament SeriesMain Event Will Feature Reduced $5,000 Buy-In |
|
The Bellagio kicked off its annual Festa al Lago Classic in Las Vegas on Sept. 30 with a $300 no-limit hold’em event.
The series will feature a total of 16 tournaments between now and the $5,000 main event, which begins October 11. Other than the first event, all preliminary tournaments will have either a $500 or $1,000 buy-in, which makes them eligible for Card Player Player of the Year points.
Because the buy-in has been reduced by half, tournament officials are expecting a larger turn out for the main event. Last year, Randal Flowers defeated 335 players in the $10,000 main event to take home a $831,500 first-place prize.
Single table satellites are running for both preliminary and main event seats in the Bellagio’s Fontana Lounge. In addition to tournaments, you can follow @BellagioPoker on Twitter to see which live cash games are currently running in the poker room.
