The first event on the schedule, open to New Jersey and Nevada is a $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout tournament on Sunday, October 3. That is one of the more expensive events on the online schedule. There are also several cheaper options including the $500 No-Limit Hold’em BIG 500, which also takes place on October 3 and the $400 No-Limit Hold’em Ultra DeepStack on October 10.
