Meadows Poker Tournaments Get Face Lift

Posted by admin - 02/09/11 at 08:09 am

New management at the Meadows Casino Poker room has given the tournament players a new spread of no limit Texas Holdem tournaments for the month of September.

Billy Takacs, the new poker room manager at the Meadows and an avid tournament player, has revamped the poker tournament schedule with the idea of being more player friendly. Takacs has promised several new changes over the coming months to accommodate the serious poker tournament players.

The major change is the increase of the blind levels from 18 minutes to 20 minutes in keeping with the standard in the region. Additionally, the starting times for weekday tourneys are now 11:00 AM  and 8:00 PM daily.

The weekend tournaments are a 5:00 PM Saturday $175  ($150+20+5) deep stack with $15,000 in starting chips with a $5,000 dealer add on.  Sunday has a featured $65 Turbo at 11:00pm, this Sunday night special is a popular  tournament in Las Vegas, and will give the late night poker player an opportunity to enjoy the game on an evening that is usually slow for most poker players.  Late night tourneys are especially popular in this area and a good turnout is anticipated.

In addition to tournaments, the Meadows poker room also spreads all games at player request. ($1-$3 no limit and up).

The complete schedule of poker tournaments are listed below.  For further information contact the poker room at (724)503-1239 or wtakacs@meadowsgaming.com
