The Bar Poker Open Championship is coming to the Palm Beach Kennel Club
The Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida will host the Bar Poker Open World Championship from November 16-20, featuring the $365 buy-in invite-only Florida World BPO Championship with an estimated prize pool of $150,000 and a top prize of $50,000. Organizers anticipate more than 3,000 entries and over $1 million in prizes.
The series starts at 11 AM local time with Day 1A of the $100K Florida Special Open, followed by the $250 buy-in $100K Florida Special, featuring four flights, with the final day on November 18.
The $365 buy-in Florida BPO World Championship features players who qualified through local bars by finishing in the top three and those who accumulated enough points in BPO-sponsored games.
Players start with 25,000 chips, playing 30-minute levels. One re-buy is allowed before late registration closes, with the top 10% advancing to Day 2. Players entering on Day 1A can also play 1B. However, they forfeit their smallest stack if they move to Day 2 in both flights and are awarded $1,000.
Day 2 starts at 11 AM on November 2, with the live final table broadcast predicted to begin around 6 PM.
Events open to the public include a $125 Pot Limit Omaha event, a $180 buy-in Deep Stack tournament, a $160 buy-in Progressive Knockout and the €150 buy-in CSOP Celebrity Charity tournament.
The Bar Poker Open Las Vegas World Championship in June attracted 1,053 entrants to the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino to battle for the biggest prize in BPO history of $100,000.
Edward Holt would win the title after beating Ryan Surdi of New York heads-up.
