The PokerAtlas Tour makes its first stop in Austin, Texas Dec. 3-16 to close out the year at the Texas Card House Austin property. The tournament series includes 15 different offerings on the schedule, with buy-ins ranging from $200-600 throughout the series.
Everything leads up to the $600 PokerAtlas Tour Title Event Dec. 10-16. The Title Event has nine starting flights with a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000. The Day 1 survivors combine to play down to a champion for Day 2 on Dec. 15, and then the final table for the marquee tournament on the schedule takes place Dec. 16.
Our PokerLiveUpdates reporting team is set to be on hand at TCH Social Austin for Title Event Week.
The tournament series offers over $1 million in guaranteed prize pools throughout the schedule, and games spread include pot-limit Big O, Pot-Limit Omaha, HORSE, Triple Triple Draw, Dealer’s Choice, and Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot with rebuys. The schedule has a number of festive NLH options as well with the Turkey Hangover, Stocking Stuffer, Jacked Stack, Highjack Double, and Mystery Bounty Gift Exchange included in the series.
The big opening event for the series is the aforementioned $300 buy-in no-limit hold’em Stocking Stuffer. It kicks off on Dec. 3 with nine starting flights. The survivors combine on Dec. 8 for Day 2, and then the final table follows on Dec. 9.
