Foxwoods Announces New Poker Tournaments

MASHANTUCKET, CONNECTICUT, USA (Poker Uncensored) — Foxwoods Resort Casino has announced two new recurring poker tournaments.

Starting on August 11th, Foxwoods will hold a Thursday morning event staring at 10:10 AM. The $160 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold’Em

Tournament will allow registration and re-entry until the start of the 8th level, and will feature a 30,000 chip stack with 20 minute levels. 

On Sundays, starting July 31st, Foxwoods will replace its current $500 buy-in tournament with a $360 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold’Em event. This tournament will feature a 40,000 chip starting stack, with the first 9 levels being 25 minutes and remaining levels 30 minutes. Players will be able to register and re-enter until the start of the 10th level. 

The addition of the new tournaments brings Foxwoods up to having three tournaments a week, which is still shy of the four tournaments a week held at their closest competitor Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. The tournament offerings remain significantly downsized from the past when Foxwoods offered upwards of 20 poker tournaments a week and ran  series events with guaranteed prize pools.
