SugarHouse Casino To Host SugarRush Challenge This JuneEvent Begins June 22 In Philadelphia |
|
The Poker Night In America poker room in Philadelphia’s SugarHouse Casino will host the SugarRush Challenge from June 22-26. The guarantee is $100,000, the game is no-limit Texas hold’em, and the surrounds are part of a $164 million dollar expansion.
This is the second SugarRush Challenge in as many months and the second time employing the new structure. The new structure is a carry over from the first Challenge.
Poker pro and Poker Room Ambassador Matt Glantz said the players really enjoyed the new structure. “We started with antes from the very start of the event and never looked back,” Glantz said. “Players could buy-into the day 1 flight for $220+$30 and receive a 25,000 stack, but they could also choose to buy-in or re-enter anytime on day 2 up until the third level of play for $1,000+$100 and receive a 100,000 stack. We had a total of 512 entries, 492 from day 1s and 20 from day 2 buy-ins.”
“We have the day 2 $1,000+$100 option available to accommodate the busy player. While anyone can begin the tournament as early as Wednesday, this $1,100 player can start early on Sunday knowing the tournament will end on the same day. The availability and time commitments of our players vary so drastically and we like to offer as many different options as possible.”
“The first SugarHouse Challenge had 20 players buy-in or re-enter on day 2 for the $1,100+$100 and it added almost $20,000 to the prize pool. As a day 1 player, in for $220+$30, the large bump to the prize pool becomes more exciting as you grown your stack. If you are lucky enough to get down to the final two or three tables you definitely start to appreciate the juiced up prize pool.”
Located along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania’s Fishtown neighborhood at 1001 N. Delaware Avenue, SugarHouse Casino is a hot gaming destination.
