The Golden Nugget

It is not only the World Series of Poker that is taking place in Las Vegas this fall, the Golden Nugget is getting into the poker festival spirit by launching its Grand Poker Series alongside it.

Running from September 28 through to October 18, the Grand Poker Series features a bustling schedule of 50 events, combined guarantees in excess of $1.2 million, and with buy-ins starting as low as $120 and increasing to $600.

Up to five events take place every day during the Grand Poker Series, and they come with a wide range of formats including No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Big-O, Stud, Mixed Games, and more.

The schedule, which you can find in full below, looks incredible, but two events, in particular, catch the eye.

Event #10 is the No Limit Hold’em $100,000 Guaranteed Ultimate Re-Entry tournament. Buying in costs you $200 of your finest American dollars, and has a Best Stack Forward system that encourages you to take multiple shots across its nine starting flights. Progress more than once and there is a $1,500 bonus waiting for you. The first flight of Event #10 shuffles up and deals at 11:00 a.m. Vegas time on September 30.

The other eye-catching event is Event #22, the Championship No-Limit Hold’em tournament. It commands a $600 buy-in and boasts of a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. There are three Day 1s, each running from 11:00 a.m. on October 7-9, with Day 2 scheduled for a slightly later time of 12:00 p.m. on October 10.

Everything points towards the Grand Poker Series being a roaring success. it has a tournament for everyone and is perfect for those who want to escape the hustle-bustle of the WSOP and of the Las Vegas Strip.
