The PokerAtlas Tour makes its third stop of 2024 – and its first-ever in Northern California – from May 10th-20th with the motto of “Grit – Grind – Glory.” The tournament series called The Quest is hosted by Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California on the outskirts of Sacramento.
The tournament series includes seven different offerings on the schedule, with everything leading up to the $1,100 PokerAtlas Tour Title Event May 18th-20th. The Title Event has two starting flights with a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000. All tournament days in the featured tournament begin at Noon, with the Day 1 survivors combining to play down to a champion for Day 2 on May 20th.
Our PokerLiveUpdates reporting team is set to be on hand at TVPokerRoom for Day 2 of the Title Event.
The tournament series offers $500,000 in guaranteed prize pools throughout the schedule, and games spread include Omaha 8OB. The schedule has a number of NLH options with Dueling 1Fifty5s, NorCal Jacked Stack, Knockout, and Deep Freeze events.
The opening event May 12 – after two days of satellites – is the $155 buy-in Dueling 1Fifty5’s event with a guaranteed prize pool worth $100,000. That tournament has five starting flights with Day 2 starting on May 14th. That is also the day the $200 buy-in Omaha 8OB event with a $10,000 guarantee begins.
Our PokerLiveUpdates crew is again on hand for the Day 2 competition, as well as Day 2 in the NorCal Jacked Stack.
And all of this poker action includes one of the best features at PokerAtlas Tour events – every chip count, for every player, in every tournament, at every break in play.
