Talking Stick Poker Room Open
The structure of this conference is a bit unusual, in that they have a normal room for speakers to give standard speeches. The afternoon, however, is broken up into smaller rooms where three or four famous people will address a topic. Each person gives a ten minute address and then they talk among themselves for a bit. May 12, 2020 Talking Stick Resort, home of the largest poker room in Arizona, with 47 tables, will remain closed until at least June 1. No date has been set on when any of the state’s 12 card rooms will reopen.

Talking Stick Resort will host the 15th annual Arizona State Poker Championship Friday, Aug. 9 through Aug. 13. The Valley’s largest tournament of the year is expected to draw more than 1,000 participants, ranging from novice to professional, each playing for the estimated $1.5 million prize pool.
“Not only is The ARENA Poker Room the largest poker room in the Valley, it is also one of the busiest. We maintain a full roster of games and tournaments, but by far the Arizona State Poker Championship is the most exciting,” said Tom Young, director of poker at Talking Stick Resort. “The sheer number of players and the energy they bring to the room is unlike any other tournament we host.”
The highly anticipated five-day tournament will kick off at 9 a.m. each day in The ARENA Poker Room with the semi-finals on Monday, Aug. 12. To enter the tournament, players will pay a $1,100 buy-in giving them $16,000 in tournament chips to start. However, those who wish start with more will have the opportunity to purchase an additional $10,000 in bonus chips for $30. Players who make it to day five will return at 10 a.m. and play until a new champion is crowned taking home the 2019 Arizona State Poker Champion title.
The winner will take home $159,500, Rolex and a trophy, while second and third place will receive trophies and $119,350 and $88,000, respectively. Large prize pools draw large crowds so for the first time, Talking Stick Resort has partnered with Bravo Poker Live, to make registering for the event faster, secure and easier than ever before.
