We’re tracking 16 new tournaments starting in April, and I want to make sure to tell you about a few that are clustered geographically.
First, in my area, we’ve got a nice little duo going, especially for those of you returning from the Iowa run (Meskwaki and Council Bluffs MSPT & WSOPC events). First up on April 12th, the Spring Poker Classic starts at Running Aces. This is 9 days of poker with buyins from $45 to $1100 and lots of Main Event seats thrown into the prize pools. They’ve been putting a lot of work into the structures of their tournaments at Running Aces recently, and these promise to be good ones.
When that’s over, don’t leave town, because the Heartland Poker Tour rolls into Canterbury with satellites starting April 20th and a $1500 main event with the first flight on the 27th.
If you’re not a fly-over country kind of person, the right coast has a nice cluster of tournies this month. Starting in Atlantic City, you can play nearly the whole month at the Borgata Spring Poker Open. It runs from the 4th to the 20th and features buy-ins from $200 to $2,700 with multiple tournaments running on most days.
From there, you’ve got stops from the two biggest tours to choose from: the WPT at Parx Casino in Bensalom, PA or the WSOP Circuit at Harrah’s in CHester, PA. Take your pick!
