When the Watauga Social Lounge ran a $25,000 guaranteed poker tournament recently, it was so well-received and successful that the management team pushed the boat out and doubled the guarantee to $50,000 for the latest edition. The tournament is the biggest the Watauga Social Lounge has ever run; take it down and become part of poker history.
The special Football Kickoff Poker Tournament runs from August 17 through August 21. It features five starting flights with the top 12% of each flight punching their Day 2 tickets, with Day 2 scheduled for 1:00 p.m. local time on August 21.
For a $385 buy-in ($308+$77), players in the event receive a generous helping of 30,000 tournament chips, although you can boost your starting stack by 10,000 chips if you pay the $15 dealer's appreciation bonus. Unlimited re-entries are permitted on each flight until the tournament heads onto a scheduled dinner break.

There are several other tournaments taking place at the Watauga Social Lounge throughout August, so you have plenty of choices if your quest for Football Kickoff Poker Tournament glory does not go to play. These include a $2,000 guaranteed freeroll on Thursdays, a $150 buy-in $5,000 guaranteed event on Friday, a $150 buy-in $2,000 guaranteed affair on Saturday, and $2,000 bomb pot rebuy costing $45 each Sunday.
Cash game players are well-catered for too, with action running around the clock. The cash game Bad Beat Jackpot currently stands at a wallet-filling $10,000. Trigger the bad beat jackpot by enduring quads over quad fives in Hold'em games or straight flush over straight flush in Omaha games! Fifty percent of the jackpot goes to the loser of the hand, 30% to the winner, while the rest of the players at the table share the remaining 20%!
