IveyRoom: The inauguration will be done with a big ceremony
The inauguration of the Ivey Room will take place in one month in Sin City. This new room located in the poker room of the new casino Aria brand, on the strip will be dedicated exclusively to "High Stakes" players. To celebrate this opening, the organizers will hold an invitational free tournament with a prizepool of $ 1 million on next May 22th. The allocation of one million will be as follows: $ 250,000 will go to the tournament winner, he will also receive $ 250,000 if he beat the Tiger Woods of poker in a head's up. $ 100,000 will be awarded to the person who will succeed in ousting Ivey during the tournament. While the remaining $ 400,000 will be distributed to seven players from the tournament.
This kind of tournament with one million dollars prizepool recalls us the Tournament of Champions, hosted by Harrah's in the middle of the World Series of Poker on next June 27th. Only the requirements for participation vary. The Tournament Of Champions is reserved for past champions of the World Series of Poker while the invitations for the $ 1,000,000 bounty is only sent to the best customers of MGM. The owner of the "Ivey Room", which is none other than MGM Mirage also has another poker room for high stakes: the "Bobby's Room." And in order to no let the two rooms cannibalize each other, it is likely that their openings are made alternately.
