It’s the hottest ticket online right now. (It’s not hotter than the temperatures outside, but it is a good reason to stay inside and play poker!) There are prize packages available at BetMGM Poker online to send players to MGM National Harbor for its Potomac Poker Open Main Event at the end of August — and that tournament’s prize pool will offer a cool $1,000,000 guarantee.

Online qualifiers are available through August 18 for players in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but we’ll get to that in a minute. First, here are all the details of the event.

The Potomac Poker Open at MGM National Harbor is Set For August 14-26

The second running of the Potomac Poker Open kicks off at MGM National Harbor Hotel & Casino (located in Maryland right off the Potomac River) on August 14.

The action will start with a HORSE tournament and offer everything from PLO-8 to Big O, 5-Card PLO to good ol’ No Limit Hold’em. There will be doubled stacks and triple stacks, even monumental stacks in play. There are two seniors’ tournaments on August 19 and 24 for players 50 and older, a seniors’ event on August 20 for those 60 and over, and a Women’s NLH Event on August 24.
