Last year, Pittsburgh's Rivers Casino, which opened in 2009, put itself on the poker map when Phil Hellmuth topped a field of 254 entrants to win the Pittsburgh Poker Open Main Event for $54,000. That tournament was a part of a larger Poker Night in America (PNIA) festival, which will return to the venue for a third time from November 5-23, 2015.

The Event 2 ‘Deep Stack’ Day 2 restart isn’t the only event running in the Rivers Poker Room today, as a new event to the schedule begins at 1 PM. That is the Event 8 ’30 BB Battle’, an event that is making it’s Pittsburgh Poker Open debut today. A schedule of Rivers Casino poker tournaments, including time, buy-in, blind structure, and more.
