The tour awarded more than <strong>$2 million<\/strong> in prize pools since its inaugural stop at Meadows in 2017.<\/p>\n<h2>Tournament schedule includes $1,100 main event<\/h2>\n<p>Today, the action commences with a <strong>$350 no-limit hold\u2019em<\/strong> (NLH) tournament with a <strong>$100,000 guarantee<\/strong>. But, that\u2019s not all. The winner receives a <strong>custom wrestling style<\/strong> belt as a trophy to always remember the momentous win.<\/p>\n<p>Is budget a concern? As can be seen on the schedule, HPT offers buy-ins as low as <strong>$90<\/strong>. Not interested in NLH? HPT offers enough variety such as a <strong>seniors<\/strong> event and a <strong>7-Game Mix<\/strong> (Limit H.O.R.S.E., NLH, PLO) to whet any poker player\u2019s appetite.<\/p>\n<p>All the action culminates with the <strong>$1,100 Main Event<\/strong> on <strong>Oct. 4<\/strong>. Not only will this highly anticipated event draw a large crowd of amateurs and professionals (such as 2004 World Series of Poker champion <strong>Greg Raymer<\/strong> and Poker Hall of Fame inductee, <strong>Linda Johnson<\/strong>), but this event will be <strong>nationally televised<\/strong>. There will be a livestream of the action as well.<\/p>\n<h2>About Meadows Casino<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Meadows Casino<\/strong> is located about <strong>25 miles<\/strong> south of <strong>Pittsburgh<\/strong>. It holds the record for Pennsylvania\u2019s <strong>largest jackpot<\/strong> ever paid.<\/p>\n<p>With over <strong>350,000<\/strong> square feet in casino floor space, Meadows easily qualifies as one of the <strong>largest<\/strong> casinos on the East Coast. This casino features 81 table games, over 2,500 slot machines and even a poker room. What\u2019s more? Restaurants and dining overlook the <strong>racetrack<\/strong> that includes VIP suites and a simulcast area. Lastly, an all-ages bowling center ensures all family members are adequately entertained.<\/p>\n<p>A sportsbook is on its way to the property too. In August, The Meadows announced a partnership with <strong>DraftKings<\/strong> to bring both a retail sportsbook and a PA betting app to the state.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Online poker in PA<\/h2>\n<p>Looking for online gambling at Meadows? The Meadows is one of two casinos that declined to apply for <strong>online gaming<\/strong>. However, <strong>Penn National<\/strong> owns Meadows and Hollywood Casino. In particular, <strong>Hollywood<\/strong> launched the first online casino in PA. Online gambling officially went live on <strong>July 15<\/strong>. More recently, <strong>IGT<\/strong> announced a strategic partnership with Hollywood and Meadows.<\/p>\n<p>But, what about online poker in the Keystone State? Despite rumors circulating the live launch, there is still <strong>no<\/strong> online poker but, it is expected shortly. <strong>PokerStars,<\/strong> in partnership with Mount Airy Casino, is widely expected to be the first operator to launch. For now, it is not a matter of \u201c<strong>if<\/strong>\u201d online poker launches in PA, but rather \u201c<strong>when<\/strong>\u201d will online poker officially launch.<\/p>\n<p>The post HPT Bringing Two Weeks Of Poker Action To The Meadows appeared first on Play Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s get ready to rumble!
