Southern California’s Jamul Casino will host its second annual San Diego Poker Classic from August 10 to August 20. The casino said it anticipates that its marquee poker event could bring in players from several Southern California counties, including Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange and San Diego Counties.
The San Diego Poker Classic this year will hold 14 trophy events, with buy-ins ranging from $55 to $1,100.
This year’s tournament will award close to $150,000 in prize money. Players can get in on the action at several key events during the run, which include the Weekend Opener and San Diego Poker Classic Main Event. These segments will offer players a chance at $50,000 and $100,000 guarantee prize pools respectively.
Jamul Casino's Poker Innovator and Manager John Rochfort took a moment to further elaborate on the casino’s poker program.
He said, "Jamul Casino has a very robust poker program, and some of the best facilities in Southern California.
“The San Diego Poker Classic has helped boost the casino's popularity, and I'm anticipating the upcoming luxury, boutique hotel will kick-up our poker stakes even more. Good luck to our aspiring winners!"
Jamul Casino first opened in 2016 and is operated by Jamul Indian Village Development Corporation (JIVDC) in San Diego County, California. The casino is currently home to more than 1,700 slot machines, 46 live table games, several restaurants, bars and lounges, as well as a poker room.
The casino recently hosted its 2023 Summer Block Party earlier this summer. The all-day celebration featured an appearance by actor and Chula Vista native, Mario Lopez, as well as two musical performances by MO5AIC.
