The Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) is currently at Hollywood Casino Columbus and will culminate late next week with a $1,650 buy-in, $500,000 GTD Main Event.

That tournament, which will be live reported by PokerNews, will feature three starting flights beginning with Day 1a at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 25. Flights 1b and 1c will take place at Noon local time on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27 respectively, and the survivors from all three flights will return for Day 2 action at 11 a.m. on Sunday, April 29. Then, on Monday, April 29, the final table will play out starting at Noon.

'Ohio has a great poker scene and we're anticipating a big turnout.'

Speaking of that final table, it will not only be live streamed but also filmed for television. This is notable as the state of Ohio has never held a nationally televised poker tournament. That will change thanks to the HPT, which has awarded more than $100 million to poker enthusiasts over 15 seasons.

'We have been looking forward to the Hollywood Columbus event for quite some time,' said HPT marketing manager Korey Stewart. 'There has been quite a bit of chatter about the event within the poker community since we announced it a few months back. Ohio has a great poker scene and we're anticipating a big turnout.'

In addition to the Main Event, which players can qualify for as little as $90 via HPT's popular satellite system, there are several side events in variants such as 7-Game Mix, Pot-Limit Omaha, and a Tag Team event.

The stop actually started this weekend with a $350 buy-in, $100K GTD Opening Monster Stack, a tournament that attracted 755 entries and crushed its guarantee by creating a $226,500 prize pool. The winner of that tournament is slated to take home $48,666.

Heartland Poker Tour

The Heartland Poker Tour was established in 2005 by two long-time friends, Todd Anderson and Greg Lang. These two producers worked together to create a regional poker tournament series with a strong television presence. Heartland Poker Tour events have been viewed on television in over 50 million households across the country, with more viewers tuning in for every event.

Anderson and Lang pride themselves on bringing a younger, more energetic voice to the poker community. They believe their new television show is 'part drama, part reality television.' The announcers are very colorful, and make sure that there is never a dull moment, even when the poker action is slow.

Andersan and Lang have clearly stated their three goals for the Heartland Poker Tour:

To host well-organized, fair, and fun events that have reasonable buy-ins with large prize pools, so that all players can have a chance at winning a life changing score.
To provide a quality experience for the casino which hosts the tournaments, and to build a strong relationship with the management of each casino the HPT visits.
That viewers have a good time watching their television show, and enjoy the fun-filled, action-packed network.

Upcoming HPT Events

The Heartland Poker Tour has a number of upcoming events that are sure to be a hit among local amateurs and professionals. Some of these events include series at the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas, the Downstream Casino Resort in Quapaw, Oklahoma, the Shooting Star Casino in Minnesota, and the Golden Gates Casino in Colorado.

Previously completed tournament series have been hosted at the TurningStone Resort Casino, the Greektown Casino, the Island Resort and Casino, the Majestic Star Casinos, the Golden Gates Casino, the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel, and the Grand Series at Grand Casino Mille Lacs.
