Consider Arizona Nights to host a poker tournament at your next event.

Our tournament supervisors are trained to run an event like those seen on TV.

With the growing popularity of Texas Hold'em on TV, the uses of a poker tournamnet are endless:

Team Building - See who is the best poker player in the office.

Client appreciation - Thank your clients with a fun evening of poker.

Bar or restaurants - Reward your loyal customers with a chance to win free food and prizes.

Just for fun - Poker tournaments are great fun, why do you need any other excuse?

Running the event:

As your guests arrive, they will select a seat card.This will tell them their starting table and seat position. Upon arriving at the table, the dealer will collect the seat card and give the player his starting chips.

Once all of the players are seated, the tournament supervisor will announce to the dealers to "Shuffle up and deal" as seen on many TV poker tournaments. Any late players will still be allowed to play. A position will be held for them and any blind bets will be removed from their chip stack as if they were folding every hand.

Play begins with each player receiving an equal amount of chips. There will be two blinds posted per hand to force the action. As play progresses, the amount of the blind bets increase. The tournament supervisor will customize the blind amounts based upon the starting chip count, number of players, and length of the event. Most events are scheduled for three hours but larger events can take longer.

As play continues, players will be eliminated from the tournament. The tournamnet supervisor will continually move players around and break down tables to keep the same number of players at each table. Once we are down to nine players the final table will begin. Play will continue until one person accumulates all of the chips and is declared the winner.
