The 2022 Bar Poker Open returns for its 12th Championship event, and is the 7th year being held downtown in Golden Nugget's Grand Ballroom in Las Vegas.

In 2021, the championship event attracted 2,386 runners and generated a prize pool of $458,200. Chris Farkas of AZ Hold'em was the last man standing, taking home $70,047 and the championship trophy.

All entries will start with 20,000 in tournament chips and an optional $10 add-on for 5,000 in chips at registration. Levels will be 30-minutes each on Day 1 and will increase to 40-minutes on Day 2 and the final table. There will be a 15-minute break after every four levels.
