That will change thanks to the HPT, which has awarded more than $100 million to poker enthusiasts over 15 seasons. This is notable as the state of Ohio has never held a nationally televised poker tournament.
Speaking of that final table, it will not only be live streamed but also filmed for television. 'Ohio has a great poker scene and we're anticipating a big turnout.'
Then, on Monday, April 29, the final table will play out starting at Noon. Flights 1b and 1c will take place at Noon local time on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27 respectively, and the survivors from all three flights will return for Day 2 action at 11 a.m. That tournament, which will be live reported by PokerNews, will feature three starting flights beginning with Day 1a at 2 p.m. The Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) is currently at Hollywood Casino Columbus and will culminate late next week with a $1,650 buy-in, $500,000 GTD Main Event.
