Table Of Contents
For the fourth year in a row, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) and The Venetian in Las Vegas are joining forces to offer a tournament over the NFL��s Super Bowl Weekend.
The $1,100 buy-in Poker Bowl IV will feature a $1,000,000 guarantee and offer three starting flights. Day 1a will take place at Noon local time on Wednesday, January 29, while Day 1b & 1c will take place at the same time on Thursday, Jan. 30 and Friday, Jan. 31 respectively. The surviving players from both flights will then return for Day 2 at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 1 and play down to a winner.
That ensures players will be free on Sunday so they can enjoy Super Bowl LIV, which is being held on February 2 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The entirety of the tournament, which will feature 40-minute levels and start players with 20,000 in chips, will be live reported by PokerNews.
