During Super Bowl week, Nevada sports books post hundreds of proposition bets on the professional football championship.

The wagers add to the game's overall betting total, which hit $87.4 million this year.

There is only so much you can do, however, with the world's most famous poker game.

Nevada gaming regulators are allowing sports books to accept five additional wagers on the World Series of Poker's Main Event in November, beyond who gamblers think will win the game's most prestigious title.

The request to the Gaming Control Board was made by Caesars Entertainment Corp., which owns the World Series of Poker. The approved proposition wagers involve the $10,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em World Championship, which is now down to its final table of nine players.

The wagers include:

■ Who will be the first player to bust out when the field of nine reconvenes?

■ Will the current chip leader win the Main Event?

■ What poker hand will determine the champion?

■ What will be the total number of hands dealt at the final table?

■ Will there will be more red cards or black cards on the final table's first flop?

Caesars posted odds on the proposition wagers, along with odds on the nine remaining players, last week at all of the company's sports books, including the Rio, home to the World Series of Poker.

Caesars Regional Vice President of Specialty Gaming Howard Greenbaum said the idea was to give the wagering public "action all the way through the final table."

Greenbaum, who ran sports books for Caesars' predecessor, Harrah's Entertainment, was matter-of-fact when asked if he ever thought he would be listing odds on the World Series of Poker.

"Ten years ago, no," Greenbaum said. "But I also didn't imagine the thousands of fans seeking autographs from players or the live television. This shows you how popular the World Series of Poker has become. Our objective was to give people something to bet on."

Wagering on the makeup of the first flop -- the first three community cards in a game of hold'em -- is akin to wagering on the Super Bowl's coin toss, Greenbaum said.

Caesars officials and World Series of Poker representatives had other wagering ideas for the event, which they may ask gaming regulators to approve next year.

The final table of the Main Event is scheduled for Nov. 5 and Nov. 7 in the Rio's Penn & Teller theater. But the dates may be moved to Nov. 6 and Nov. 8 to accommodate television plans, which would include the first-ever live coverage of a poker tournament's conclusion.

Current chip leader Martin Staszko of the Czech Republic is listed by Caesars as the favorite to win the Main Event at 5-to-2 odds. Sam Holden of Sussex, Great Britain, who enters the final table in ninth place, is a 15-to-1 long shot to win the Main Event, and is listed at even money to be the first player eliminated.

The final table of nine was set in July at the Rio. The original field was 6,865 participants, the third largest in World Series of Poker history. The winner of the Main Event will take home $8.71 million.

Maybe that should have been a proposition wager: What will be the higher figure, the winner's prize or the amount wagered on the World Series of Poker?

"The propositions will drum up some conversation, but I don't think we'll see much action," Las Vegas Hilton Race and Sports Book Director Jay Kornegay said. "We'll put up the odds as it gets closer to the event. There is a fan base that's growing, but people aren't really used to the idea of betting on poker."

Lucky's Race and Sports Books Chief Executive Officer Joe Asher said his company will list the World Series of Poker odds at the company's 17 Nevada locations, but he also doesn't expect a large betting handle.

"It's good for the industry to offer new types of wagers," Asher said. "I'm assuming the betting will be small, but it's a good way to promote events in Las Vegas."

$25,000 guaranteed Thanksgiving Day poker tournament


Americas Cardroom is inviting poker players to go from stuffing their faces with turkey to stuffing their pockets with cash. The online poker site is hosting a special $25,000 guaranteed Thanksgiving Day poker tournament. The tournament is being billed as a warm-up event for Americas Cardroom’s upcoming online poker super series, ACROSS.

The $25k ACROSS warm-up gets underway on Thursday, Nov. 24 at 9 p.m. ET. Players can claim a spot in the tournament for $50+5, or they can opt to get into it through a low buy-in qualifier. Satellites are now running from as low as $2.

Any player who participates in the $25,000 Guaranteed warm-up event will also earn an extra 500 points towards this month’s $65,000 Rake Race at Americas Cardroom. All players also qualify for a freeRoll on Nov. 25 at 3 p.m. ET awarding 10-seats to ACROSS Main Event ($82.50 value).

The Americas Cardroom Online Super Series (ACROSS), which runs from Nov. 29 through Dec. 4, features over $150,000 in guaranteed prize money. The series wraps up with a $50,000 guaranteed no-limit hold’em tournament.

Designed to appeal to players of all stake levels, ACROSS will feature three major events per day, with prize pools ranging from $250 all the way to $50,000, and buy-ins ranging from $3.30 to $109. Some tournaments will offer Frequent Player Point buy-ins.

Also part of the series are contests that award free tournament seats to the top 10 players to cash in the series; a $1,000 freeroll seat for every player who cashes more than once in the series; and the tournament buy-in will be refunded as an award for each player who finishes a tournament on the bubble.

The Irish Open 2012 satellites at PaddyPowerPoker.com are into their fourth week this Sunday November 26 and two more packages are guaranteed in the €200 + €15 no-limit hold’em freezeout satellite at 8 p.m.

Each package is worth €4,600 for the Irish Open main event which happens, as is tradition, on Easter weekend, Apr. 6-9 in Dublin’s Burlington Hotel. The packages include the €3,200 + €300 tournament buy-in, five nights accommodation, and travel/spending money.

PKR has the best 3D software for poker in the industry, but that’s just one of the many reasons PKR has been voted poker operator of the year in two consecutive years by eGaming Review. What else is there on PKR, you ask? Well, let me give you some insight on what I found for myself, and why I chose that online poker room over many others.

As a big fan of deep-stack tournaments with small fields, it didn’t took long for me to get hooked by the great value PKR’s Deep Stack tournaments had to offer. The buy-in range is wide enough, so you can play deep-stacked for as little as $2 or you can get to the high-roller levels, where you can play for a $500 buy-in with the top players on the client.

The Deep Stack tournament structures are amazing, and the amount of rookies who play in them give a good edge to any advanced player, making it easier to notch deep runs consistently and reach the final table more often. The low buy-in tournaments feature between 150 and 500 players, but there are also special events with even deeper stacks and structures where you can see up to 2,000 players. The middle to high buy-in events ($20 to $150) usually gather between 90 and 350 players, and the prize money is structured very nicely giving you more than twice the buy-in, if you finish in the money. Here is a list with some of the daily deep stack tournaments on PKR:


PKR Daily Deep Stack Tournaments Schedule

Name Buy-in Starting stack Blinds Guaranteed Prize Pool
Low Roller $2.35 5,000 12 $500
Atlantis Deep Stack $5,50 5,000 12 $1,500
H.M.S Deep Stack $22 4,000 10 $1,500
Double Deuce DS $22 2,222 15 $1,500
Omaha Open DS $22 4,000 11 $1,800
Aussie Open DS $33 10,000 15 $4,500
Welllbet's Home Game $36 4,000 12 $3,000
Monte Carlo $77 10,000 15 $4,500

The interesting thing about some of these events is that on Saturday, they all have an even deeper structure and the starting chips are doubled. From time to time PKR offers all players a chance to participate in the higher buy-in events for half price in its Half Price Weekends.


There is plenty of action for the players with bigger bankrolls of course, and the high roller tournaments are very juicy.

DURANT, OK -- In just a couple days hundreds of people will head to the Choctaw Casino in Durant for the second annual World Series of Poker Circuit event.

From Thursday the 12th through the 23rd of January players will have the chance to win big bucks and play for the championship title at this year's circuit tour. There are a total of 52 events in the coming weeks, and players are already putting on their poker faces. For some poker's not just a game, it's a way of life. Garrett says he started playing poker semi-professionally back in 2009.

"There's this saying of poker 'it takes a minute to learn, but a lifetime to master', and that's very true," Garrett said. "The games constantly evolving, players are changing, players are becoming better, and especially with the internet."

He has played in high stakes tournaments across the U.S., but this is his first time at the World Series of Poker event.

Choctaw Casino Poker Room Manager Ken Lambert says in less than 48 hours they will have a full house. About a thousand people like Garrett are expected to fill the room for the tournament, all of them hoping for an ace in the hole.

"It gets real competitive around here. As the field narrows down, and the players become more serious," Lambert said.

Lambert says the tournament is not just for experienced players that anyone can join in, and they do. In the past, the tournament has drawn up to 15,000 visitors, which makes the event a 'win-win' for the players and Durant's economy.

Lambert says he game does require skill, but sometimes even amateurs get lucky.

"Make sure you play good cards, but more than anything be patient you don't have to get your money in there all at once," Lambert said.

"Tight is right. Play tight. And you want to play aggressive you want to put pressure on your opponents and make them make tough decisions," Garrett said.

Both Lambert and Garrett agree it is not just about playing your cards right that having a stern poker face is key.

"If you're smiling too much, laughing too much or too many expressions you've lost your poker face," Lambert said.

Lambert says buy-ins will be priced between $300 and $1,600 dollars.
Anyone can sign up to play starting tomorrow.

Good news for the Choctaw people and casino owners.
