Bally's Las Vegas to Host Power Poker Series With $750K in Guarantees

With another poker series coming up in early February and lasting nearly an entire month, Bally's Las Vegas will continue to serve as host for those looking to play live poker in Sin City.

The property's Power Poker Series kicks off Feb. 4 and lasts until March 3, offering $750,000 in guarantees through the entirety of the festival. It features 48 numbered events, a slew of satellite options, a leaderboard for additional prizes, and culminates with a $100,000 guarantee on the Main Event.

The Power Poker Series follows up on the venue's recent Main Event Mania and Back to Action series, which gave thousands of poker players the chance to whet their live poker appetites after the game had been largely on ice for months. As with those series, Power Poker Series will be played eight-handed with plexiglass dividers and mandatory use of masks by players and staff.

Series Highlights

The schedule follows a pattern offering two numbered events on most days, one starting at noon local time and one starting at 3 p.m. Each one will be preceded by a satellite guaranteeing a seat.

Of course, the Main Event will be the biggest attraction, with a $1,000 buy-in and a $100,000 guarantee. It has starting days on Feb. 28 and March 1 — each allowing a single reentry — and then plays down to a winner across Day 2 and Day 3 the following days. Most of the events are two days long.

A big focus for the series is non-hold'em tournaments, which make up about half of the schedule. Players will have the opportunity to play a variety of games and mixes, mixed triple draw, triple stud, and even pot-limit Omaha hi-lo and big O. H.O.R.S.E. and PLO events at the $1K price point give players the option to play these games a bit bigger as well.

Those looking for higher buy-in action can get it in the form of three high rollers as well, priced at $1,500, $2,200 and $3,300.

Nearly every numbered event has a guaranteed prize pool, the only exceptions being heads-up tournaments — one for $400 and one for $600 — capped at 128 players.

Each day will also feature a $2K guaranteed nightly at 7 p.m. for $175.

Added Value Via Leaderboard

As Bally's has done in the recent series, they'll be giving away some added value to the loyal players frequenting the events and performing well, in the form of a points leaderboard.

Each player cashing will earn points toward the leaderboard, which builds toward the Main Event. The top 20 earners will be rewarded with seats to the Main Event, each worth $1,000.
