Champions Club Texas, the Houston poker room co-owned by 17-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, has launched a $150,000 promotion called Rebirth of Champions. The campaign began on October 1 and will run through January 16, 2027, giving both cash game and tournament players chances to win without needing to outlast a full field.
The promotion is split into two components. The first, the Royal Champion Jackpot, accounts for $50,000 in prizes through daily drawings with progressive jackpots. The second, a $100,000 Rebirth Finale, will close out the promotion in mid-January with mystery prizes based on accumulated playing time.
The Royal Champion Jackpot features two daily sessions, a morning slot from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and an evening slot from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. At the end of each session, a randomly selected player chooses a sealed card from a display board, with one hidden card awarding the jackpot and others offering cash or promotional prizes.
Each jackpot starts at $2,500 and climbs by $200 whenever the Royal Champion card goes unclaimed, with the total able to reach as high as $25,000 before resetting. Players can earn up to 14 entries per session, with bonus entries available for arriving on time and completing the full four-hour window, and must be actively seated when the drawing occurs.
The Rebirth Finale will take place January 15-16, offering $50,000ineach day. Entries build up through regular play from October 1 onward, meaning time already logged counts toward the finale.
The promotion follows the appointment of Mike Traylor as Poker Director, who has said he wants to make Champions Club more appealing to recreational and cash game players, not just tournament regulars.
