The Arizona State Poker Championships take place each August at the Talking Stick Resort near Scottsdale, AZ, and they feature an estimated prize pool of $1.5 million. The tournament lasts for five days, and over 1000 players from around the world participate each year. The buy-in is $1,100, which grants each player 16,000 chips, with options available to purchase additional chips. Unfortunately, the Poker Championships are only open to players that are 21+ and do not allow for gamblers that are 18 years of age. That said, several of the best poker sites have similar high-jackpot tournaments to choose from, and with much lower costs of entry. And best of all, these tournaments are held every day, not just once a year!
