Every summer, poker players look forward to the World Series of Poker, as this is the biggest poker series to take place during this time frame. However, there is also a second popular poker series available, found not at the Rio, but at the ARIA Resort & Casino. Starting on May 26^th to July 8^th, players will be able to visit the ARIA and take part in the ARIA Poker Classic, a summer series that enjoys just as much fanfare as the WSOP each and every year.

The ARIA Poker Classic is popular among the poker community due to the smaller buy-ins when compared to the WSOP. Players will find a nice selection of tournaments on the schedule, including several poker variants such as Limit Omaha 8/B, Eight Game Mix, Pot Limit Omaha, PLO8 and many more.

Players can access $400 No Limit Hold’em on most days of the series during the early morning hours while the evening signals the start of $240 No Limit Hold’em action. The first four days of the series will include these two events, with the $400 tournament starting at 11 a.m. and the $240 tournament at 7 p.m.

Starting in June, the ARIA Poker Classic will feature three $1,100 No Limit Hold’em events, each lasting for two days. The events will take place on June 6^th, June 20^th and July 6^th. Also included in the mix is the WPT500, a $565 buy-in event featuring nine starting flights. The WPT500 will offer starting flights from June 25^th until July 1^st. Also, on the schedule are two Seniors events and a Ladies tournament.

According to Poker News, all of the tournaments on the schedule are one day events except for the three $1,100 No Limit Hold’em tournaments and the WPT500.
