Considered by some the "minor league" of poker series, the Heartland Poker Tour is actually quite popular among poker players across the United States.

Considered by some the "minor league" of poker series, the Heartland Poker Tour is actually quite popular among poker players across the United States. It travels the country and allows both poker professionals and small stakes poker players to participate in a televised poker tournament.

The Heartland Poker Tour was created in 2005 by Todd Anderson and Greg Lang. The tour travels the country each year, stopping at casinos from East to West coast along the way. So far the Heartland Poker Tour has given over $15 million in tournament winnings. It has also given players the opportunity to play a major poker event, who otherwise might not be able to afford participating in large tournaments such as the World Poker Tour or World Series of Poker. Another large draw for players is the opportunity to get television time, as the Heartland Poker Tour is broadcast on Comcast and a assortment of other local channels.

The structure of the Heartland Poker Tour satellite system allows players to “qualify up” the whole way to the main event. They begin each casino visit with a series of single table satellites, where three players move on into other qualifiers. They also qualify the top 20% of all multi-table satellites. It is possible to commence at a single table satellite with a $50 buy-in and earn your way the whole way up to the $1100 main event, which lasts two days.

This is the second visit to Las Vegas by the Heartland Poker Tour, with the first having been in 2007. The host during the first visit was Hooters Casino and this time the poker series will be played at Red Rock Resort and Casino.

2010 begins the Heartland Poker Tour’s sixth season, and what more appropriate place to kick off the festivities than in Las Vegas? Red Rock Resort and Casino plays host to the tournament series from January 11th-17th. The series is comprised of several days of satellite play, a celebrity charity tournament benefitting Disabled American Veterans (which is open for participation by any poker player who is interested), a VIP bash and a two-day main event wrapped up with a televised final table.

Heartland Poker Tour is also exceptional in that it runs a poker league at 23 host casinos across the country. These casinos (in conjunction with the HPT) organize league schedules, keep official stats and leaderboards, and even grant Player of the Year titles. To participate in a Heartland Poker Tour league near you, visit their website at www.heartlandpokerleague.com.

All Heartland Poker Tour schedules, tournament structures and results can be found on HPT’s website, www.heartlandpokertour.com.

There you will find pertinent details on all upcoming poker tournament series, charity poker events, and daily poker tournaments in Las Vegas.
