Aria Daily Poker Tournament Results
A schedule of Aria Casino poker tournaments, including time, buy-in, blind structure, and more. You also can find Aria Casino phone number, address, and website info. It is not uncommon for a poker tournament to end with a chopped pot if the players participating in the final table decide to cut a deal. During a special high roller event hosted by the Aria Resort & Casino of Las Vegas, the top three players remaining decided to agree to chop the pot which resulted in each player earning a $1 million+ prize. Tournament was run extremely professionally, though, as above, a bit too seriously. Their 'no phones with cards in play' rule was strictly enforced on another player who simply glanced at his phone when it beeped. His cards (he says 'AA') were insta-mucked. Tourney, so no comps expected.

Popular $10,000 High Roller tournaments were slated to return to ARIA Resort & Casino in early December, but after tournaments were suspended at the venue (the $10K High Rollers will be rescheduled in 2021), a competing room opted to step up and fill the void.
To cater to players who had traveled to Las Vegas, Wynn quickly put together what was originally a three-event $10K High Roller series, but an added tournament on Sunday made it four events. The series wound up catering to 196 combined entrants and awarded $1.96 million in prize money.
The series proved so successful that Wynn is going to add daily $10Ks Dec. 10-12 and 17-19 (Thursday, Friday & Saturday each week).
