The annual Caesars Palace Classic begins in October, and with festivities just around the corner, the poker room is giving away $400,000 worth of seats into the main event — for free.

There are two ways I can snag one of these $10,000 tournament entries. The first promotion is a daily raffle that runs from now until the end of September. Every day, players who hit a qualifying hand of quads or better will receive a raffle ticket. That day’s raffle tickets will go into a drawing that is held on the next day at 7 p.m. The winner will get a seat into the Caesars Palace Classic main event scheduled for Oct. 28. Participants do not need to be present to win.

The second way is through a freeroll tournament that awards 10 seats.

All that players have to do to qualify for the freeroll is play 40 hours of cash games from Oct. 1-26. The tournament will be held on Oct. 27.

 

I have been playing at Caesar’s since the 1^st of the month and Friday night I finally made quad 4’s … Ten other high hands were made on Friday so Saturday evening at 7PM I will watch them draw names from a raffle drum. I will have approximately a 9% chance of winning a $10,000 seat for the Caesars Palace Classic main event scheduled for Oct. 28… The tournament will be maybe the best structure ever with 100,000 in tournament chips and probably about 350 players in the field with a guaranteed minimum $1 Million Dollar 1^st place prize.

 

I hope the raffle gods are smiling on my chances tomorrow night.
