Talking Stick Resort is set to host the 11th annual Arizona State Poker Championship from Aug. 14–18. For years this event has been one of the biggest and best-valued poker tournaments in the United States.
Located in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona, the AAA Four-Diamond Talking Stick Resort property boasts a 98,000 square-foot casino, a rejuvenating spa, six world-class restaurants, easy access to a 36-hole championship golf course, and great poker action in its ARENA Poker Room.
The centerpiece of this year’s series is the $1,000+$100 no-limit hold’em event, which features a prize pool of more than $1 million based on 1,100 entries. In recent years, that number has been easily surpassed. Robert Tanita defeated a field of 1,460 entries to win the $257,690 first-place prize in 2014.
Players this year will start with 16,000 chips, with entrants receiving an extra 10,000 bonus chips for only $30. Levels are 40 minutes long. The event features three starting days:
Day 1a: Friday, Aug. 14; 9 am – 9 pm
Day 1b: Saturday, Aug. 15; 9 am – 9 pm
Day 1c: Sunday, Aug. 16; 9 am – 9 pm
The tournament will play down to a 10-handed final table on Aug. 18, then determining a champion the following day.
Talking Stick is offering a number of ways players can win their seat in this year’s Arizona State Poker Championship.
From June 1 – Aug. 16 there will be $240+$20 double-entry shoot-out satellites running, which will award two seats each. Players can also try their luck at a $130+$20 shootout that awards only one seat. There will also be six $140+$30 super satellite events, all beginning at noon on the following dates: Jul. 5, 12, 19, 26 and Aug. 9 and 13.
So make your way to Talking Stick Resort this summer for top-notch tournament action. You could be the next Arizona State Poker Champion! ♠
