The Jacksonville Poker Room at Orange Park Kennel Club will host its second annual Chad Brown Poker Series from Jan. 21-Feb. 1, including a $5,000 buy-in main event that will be televised to 20 million households.
The Chad Brown Poker Series is built around PokerStars’ superstar Chad Brown, who designed the structure for the $5,000 main event. This will equal the richest buy-in for a Florida tournament. Last year’s $880 televised main event attracted 213 players.
The series features seven events, including a $150 High Heels Poker Tour event, a $120 pot-limit Omaha/8 event and a $225 pot-limit Omaha event. Satellites, which range from $65-$550, began in December and will run through Jan. 27.
But the highlight is the $5,000 Chad Brown No-Limit Texas Hold’em Championship, which will start players with 30,000 units with 60-minute levels on each of the two Day 1s (Jan. 28-29), and 75-minute levels for the rest of the event. The final table begins at 1 p.m. on Feb. 1.
Ante Up and Fallah Productions will produce televised coverage of the event, including one-hour broadcasts of a featured table and the final table on several networks reaching 20 million households.
Ante Up has secured a $79 rate for participants who use the promo code “POKER” when booking at the Courtyard Marriott Orange Park, just down the road from the poker room. Call (904) 854-1500. For more information on the event visit www.jaxpokerroom.com.
