The Aria Poker Classic schedule was released yesterday by tournament director Paul Campbell. The schedule features a number of Pot-Limit Omaha events, multiple mystery bounties, mixed game events, and the BetMGM Championship which features a $3,500 buy-in and a two million dollar guarantee. The BetMGM final table will be streamed live from the PokerGo studios, giving the players a chance at their moment in the spotlight as well as a first place prize that should approach half a million dollars.

Aria Poker Classic is a fan favorite
The summer poker tournament series at the Aria has been a consistent player favorite for years, and with the addition of the PokerGo studios to the Aria building, players have a chance to make a televised final table on the PokerGo app. The BetMGM Championship event streaming should bring in a big field, and the aggressive guarantee will bring players in as well for what is expected to be a huge field.
The series features five mystery bounty events, two HORSE events, two seniors events, and a ladies event, with multiple mixed events and a host of big no-limit holdem events to offer something for everyone. A guarantee on every event is a nice bonus for players too, though during the World Series of Poker and all the tournaments that pop up around Las Vegas during June and July there won’t be any shortage of players to make those guarantees.
The Aria poker room is a fan favorite even when tournaments aren’t running, with a beautifully appointed room, professional staff, and great food options nearby. It is also home to more pot-limit Omaha games than any other room in the city, so seeing a number of Omaha events on the summer classic schedule is no surprise.
Aria Poker Classic structure sheets and rake numbers not yet released
Structure sheets and rake numbers will be available soon, but are expected to be in line with standard practices as Campbell’s events always are. Most events are 30,000 starting chips and thirty minute levels, while a few of the bigger events get a little more play.
The Aria is just the second room to release a schedule for this summer, though we expect the usual suspects to begin churning out their own schedules soon. Events will likely also be hosted at The Venetian, The Orleans, South Point, The Golden Nugget, and of course the Horse Shoe (formerly Bally’s).
With no vaccination requirements and most players comfortable with playing live poker again, crowds are expected to be some of the largest ever this summer in Vegas and the Aria will be no exception to that.
Campbell released the schedule of events on twitter and no other information is available on the web page of the Aria poker room as of this writing.
