Meanwhile Over At TCH Las Colinas

While the majority of the poker tournament action during the PokerAtlas Tour stop in Dallas will be taking place at TCH Dallas, the mixed-game tournaments and the bulk of the cash games will be hosted over at TCH Las Colinas just a short drive away. The poker room over at Las Colinas opened a short time ago, and it includes some nice features. TCH Social has a full food and drink menu where players can eat either table-side or at restaurant lounge area near the bar. Another special feature at the property includes two golf simulators for players to enjoy while they’re away from the felt. A fun promotion run by the poker room is the Bad Beat Bacon offer where anytime you get aces full or better cracked in hold’em, or quads or better cracked in Omaha you get a plate of brown sugar and chili coated thick cut bacon.

You can find a number of restaurants a few steps from the poker room, including The Reserve, The Ranch, Hudson House, and Brasao Brazilian Steakhouse. There is also a Starbucks in the parking lot, and Jam + Toast for your coffee and breakfast fix.

The tournament had to be canceled, but we’re bringing it back on Labor Day.

Come out to TCH Las Colinas on Labor Day starting at 2 pm for the $25,000 Guarantee Big O, with 30,000 starting stacks, 30-minute levels and registration open until 5:30 pm.
