The last of several 2023 Aria High Roller series begins today at the PokerGO Studio, adjacent to the Aria, in Las Vegas. The post-Thanksgiving mini-series featured four one-day, $10,000-entry NLH events that are official PokerGo Tour tourneys, and are among the final PGT points-earning events of 2023.
The recurring Aria High Rollers have become an important addition to the Vegas high-roller poker scene. Since mid-June, the PokerGo Studio has already hosted 15 of the high-roller tourneys, with 15 different winners to date. Jesse Lonis was the most recent winner of an Aria high-roller event, when he topped a 67-entry field to earn $187,600 in late October.
Following this week's events at the Aria, only December's "WSOP in Paradise" series, which includes six PGT points-qualifying tourneys, remains in 2023 for players to climb the 2023 PGT leaderboard. Isaac Haxton currently holds a narrow lead, and the top 40 players will receive invites into the PGT's season-ending $1,000,000 freeroll
Aria events feature 'on time' entry discounts
One of the unique features of the Aria high-roller event is that they feature "on time" entry discounts to discourage late registration. The events are officially $10,500 events, with $10,000 going into each event's prize pool and $500 taken from each entry as an administrative fee.
