$50,000 Guaranteed to the World Championship Champion

The tournament every Bar Poker Open player has their eye on is the $365 buy-in Florida BPO World Championship. Only players who have qualified throughout the year at their local bars and finished in the top three, or who have accumulated enough points in BPO-sanctioned games are eligible to buy into this huge event.

Day 1A shuffles up and deals at 11:00 a.m. local time on November 18. Everyone sits down with 25,000 chips, and plays to 30-minute levels. A single re-entry is permitted before late registration closes, and the top 10% of the field advances to Day 2 with a min-cash in tow.

There is also a Day 1B at 11:00 a.m. local time on November 19 that runs to the exact same schedule and format. Players who entered Day 1A can also play 1B. Should they make it through to Day 2 twice, their smallest stack is forfeited, and Bar Poker Open gives them $1,000.

Day 2 takes place from 11:00 a.m. local time on November 2, with the televised final table expected to kick off around 6:00 p.m. local time.

Will Edward Holt Try Win Back-to-back World Championships?

Bar Poker Open ran a Vegas World Championship in June 2023 at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino. A bumper crowd of 1,053 entrants battled it out for the $100,000 top prize, the largest in BPO history.

Once the dust had settled at the Golden Nugget, Edward Holt was the last player standing, and recipient of that juicy six-figure score. Holt hails from Franklin, Massachusetts, and plays on the Eastern Poker Tour. He defeated New York’s Ryan Surdi during heads-up play to become a worthy champion.
