Cards are scheduled to be in the air at 12 p.m. for this two-day event, where players will compete for their share of the estimated $200,000+ prize pool and the glory of becoming the 2025 Pro-Am champion.
A mix of local professionals and poker personalities will be in action, creating a fun yet competitive atmosphere from the very beginning. Test your skills against popular names like Joe Ingram, Pokerface Ashley, Vegas Nerve, Abby Merk, Kyna England, and Garry Gates — and maybe even be the one to send them to the rail.
In addition to direct buy-ins, many players earned their seats through Bar Poker Open satellites, special giveaways, and tokens throughout the week at the Golden Nugget. So if you’re chasing your next big score or simply looking for a great atmosphere to play some cards, the Pro-Am brings it all together to make poker even more exciting.
The tournament features a starting stack of 25,000 chips, with 40-minute blind levels on Day 1 and 60-minute levels on Day 2 and the final table. The final table will be recorded for streaming on Friday.
