BetMGM Poker has announced the return of the BetMGM Poker Championship, which will play out as one of the highlight events of the ARIA Poker Classic Summer Series.
Running from July 1 to 4, the BetMGM Poker Championship will feature a $3,500 buy-in and a $4,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, increased by a full million compared to last year.
The No Limit Hold’em Championship tournament will be one of the most exciting events of its kind for the thousands of poker players who are set to descend on Las Vegas this summer to play in the World Series of Poker and all the accompanying events at other properties across Sin City.
BetMGM’s Director of Poker, David Mileaf, commented: “Summer in Las Vegas is where the poker world convenes, and the BetMGM Poker Championship is the centerpiece for us. The partnership between BetMGM and MGM Resorts gives players access to venues and experiences that simply can’t be replicated. That’s the power of what we’ve built — a seamless road to the rail from your living room to Las Vegas.”

ARIA Poker Classic Brings Affordable Tournament Action
Summer in Las Vegas is synonymous with the World Series of Poker for many poker players. Yet, the buy-in fees for the world’s most prestigious tournament poker series can be out of reach for quite a few players, and ARIA Poker Classic offers a great alternative.
Running from May 27 to July 12, the ARIA series will feature dozens of events, covering a variety of poker formats and with buy-ins starting as low as $300, as well as even more affordable satellite events.
Players will get a chance to play a $300 nightly No Limit Hold’em event with a $25,000 guaranteed prize pool every evening of the festival, guaranteeing affordable action on a daily basis for everyone visiting Vegas during this period.
Mixed games enthusiasts will also have their opportunities, with games like Badugi, T.O.R.S.E., No Limit 2-7 Single Draw, Omaha 8, Stud 8, and others all included in the schedule, ensuring that ARIA Poker Classic is not just another NLH festival.
As is usually the case, No Limit Texas Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha will be the most represented games, with a large chunk of all the events involving the two most popular poker games.
The growing popularity of the Mystery Bounty format will also be highlighted in the ARIA Poker Classic, with several key events involving mystery knockout prizes.
