As the World Series of Poker winds down in Las Vegas, the tournament circuit shifts to Texas, where Champions Club in Houston will run the Texas Summer Poker Open from Aug. 5 through Aug. 17. The series carries $1.2 million in total guarantees across a wide range of buy-ins and formats.
The festival opens on Aug. 5 with the $400 No-Limit Hold’em Monster Stack, guaranteeing $100,000. That same day also features an additional tournament and two $100 satellites offering entry into the series’ Main Event.
The $800 Main Event begins Aug. 6 and stands as the centerpiece of the schedule, with a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Multiple Day 1 flights will run through Aug. 9, allowing players several chances to advance to Day 2, which is scheduled for Aug. 9 as well, with the final table set for Aug. 10.
Beyond the marquee No-Limit Hold’em events, the schedule includes several mixed-game and specialty tournaments. Highlights include a $500 H.O.R.S.E. event with a $10,000 guarantee on Aug. 6, a $300 Big O tournament on Aug. 9, and dedicated Women’s and Senior’s No-Limit Hold’em events, each guaranteeing $10,000.
The largest non-Hold’em tournament is the $1,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, guaranteeing at least $150,000. It features four starting flights beginning Aug. 10, with Day 2 following on Aug. 13, and satellites will be available for players seeking cheaper entry routes.
Out-of-town players can also take advantage of a discounted hotel rate of $79 per night by calling 281-688-5756 and referencing the promo code “SP026.”
