Winstar World Casino's 2014 River Poker Series Main Event Set to Start

Since 2007, poker players have been gathering at the beautiful Winstar World Casino to take part in a late-summer poker tournament boasting some of the biggest prize pools and guarantees in all the poker world. The 2014 Main Event of the River Poker Series will be getting underway shortly and one thing is certain — the winner will take home the biggest first place prize in the history of the event as they are guaranteed a cool million dollars in cash for collecting all the chips. Couple that with a $2.5 million guaranteed prize pool and it's no surprise that the likes of Tom Marchese, Joseph Cheong, and Layne Flack have made their weekend plans to be playing poker here in Thackerville, Oklahoma.

Sure to join those names are the likes of last years winner, Kaophone Inthavong, who would collect $473,900 for that title. He bested a field that had players like Maxx Coleman, 2011 winner Bronson Tucker, Bryan Campanello, Jonathan Tamayo, Christian Harder, Ryan Tepen, and Tommy Vedes all making the money. 2012 winner Aaron Massey will be returning looking to continue on a very successful 2014 and Winstar World Casino ambassador Maria Ho will take her seat in hopes of making a deep run.

This tournament will have three Day Ones over the course of the next three days. Players will start with 25,000 in tournament chips and the levels will be 40 minutes in length on Day One. If a player is fortunate enough to survive they will return to play Day Two on September 1st at 2 p.m. local time.

Cards will be in the air shortly. PokerNews will be here until the very end so make sure to tune in to find out who is here and who is poised to take a shot at the million dollar first place prize!
