The World Tavern Poker Open 8 details are finalized and you simply aren't going to believe what we have planned!  REMEMBER!  Anyone can go to the World Tavern Poker Open!  This is NOT LIMITED TO JUST NATIONAL QUALIFIERS!  So even if you didn't qualify for Nationals…but love poker and partying…this is the event for you!

The theme for this World Tavern Open is…BIKER WEEK!  That's right, pull out your jean jackets your chaps and all your favorite leather and denim attire and get ready for a Rockin' Biker Event…Because YOU WERE BORN TO RAISE!   
The dates are May 17 - May 20 

We are back at The Taj Mahal Casino and we expect OVER 500 ATTENDEES to this event.  It's going to be awesome! Here are some of the details.

NATIONAL QUALIFIERS! Remember, if you have qualified for the National Championships, you will be playing for 1 of 8 seats into a WSOP even...so you won't want to miss this!


This WTP Open is going to be a 3-4 day event…our longest ever in Atlantic City.  Why?  Because we have always had to try and cram so many tournaments into 2 ½ days that players can only play in a few.  With this new format you will have your chance to play in most all of the tournaments.


Not only are there going to be 2 National Championships and 12 other private tournaments during the Open…we have something very special to announce!

Everyone that attends is going to have the chance to win the World Tavern Poker Harley Davidson during the Hog Wild Hold ‘Em Tournament on Tuesday evening, May 20th.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST PRIZE EVER OFFERED AT A WTP OPEN! 





We are bringing back many of your favorite tournaments plus 3 Biker Rally Tournaments each with awesome prizes! Times and Tournament Costs are listed below.
