Player Feedback Drives Changes For 4th Annunal Binion’s Poker Classic
As poker enthusiasts from around the globe make their annual trek to Las Vegas to test their skills and their bankrolls, Binion’s Gambling Hall, with an unmatched poker lineage in both years and reputation, will give players more of what they asked for during the 4th Annual Binion’s Poker Classic . Tournament play begins May 26 and features deeper stacks, more of the popular HORSE events, and an earlier Main Event.
“The Binion’s poker staff has a great relationship with the players, and we do everything we can to make the changes they ask for,” said Paul Campbell, Binion’s tournament director. “So for this year’s Classic, we made the chip stacks much deeper, we improved the structures, and we moved the two-day Main Event to June 30.”
All-in-all, Binion’s will seat players for 46 different games over 47 straight days ending July 11.
The ever-popular No Limit Hold’em is the most featured, with 31 events scheduled, including Ladies Only on June 9. Due to player demand, there will be three HORSE events this year on June 4, June 18, and July 9. The Main Event will take place earlier, slated for June 30, and has the highest buy-in of the Poker Classic at $1,000. Some events are as little as $100 buy-ins, while most fall within $150-$200 range.
Generally, the buy-ins at the Binion’s Poker Classic are about one-tenth of the World Series of Poker events. Registered players in this year’s Poker Classic also will be extended a special room rate at the Four Queens Hotel & Casino. To participate in any of the Binion’s Poker Classic events, players simply register the day of the event in which they would like to play. For No Limit Hold’em events, registration opens three hours prior to the start time. For all other games, registration opens two hours ahead of time. Last year, approximately 10,000 people played in the Poker Classic.
