The Lilac Club Casino, in Rochester, New Hampshire, has announced a new ‘beat the champ’ three-day tournament which will take place this week.
The casino will welcome poker player Phil Hellmuth, who is a 17-time World Series of Poker champion, with people having the opportunity to meet him and potentially play against him.
On Friday (August 15), the event kicks off with an early tournament $1,200 buy-ins open from 9am and into the early morning hour of 1am at the Poker Cage. In the evening, people can meet the poker player during a meet and greet and book signing.
It’s then on Saturday (August 16) that the main headline event will begin, known as ‘Beat the Champ.’ There will be a six-figure prize pool and players who knock out the champ will receive an extra $500 cash bonus.
