If you are feeling suddenly maniacal, maybe it’s because Turning Stone’s March Mania is upon us. Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York shows why they have always been a favorite destination for dedicated poker players.
Player rewards are great, and poker room manager Jason DiBenedetto always insures they are generous with giveaways. I believe every time I’ve played there, I have seen some sort of big piece of machinery being given away. From motorcycles to garden tractors, it’s always been interesting. When you are playing cash games it seems like you are constantly hearing announcements about something being given away, and in the past, I too have won a drawing for a free seat in an event. If you play long enough, you’ll probably win something— it’s the law of averages hard at work for you. And if a garden tractor isn’t your idea of an ideal take-away gift, two-hundred seats for two upcoming events will be awarded too. The first one-hundred seats will be entries into a deep stack turbo, no-limit hold’em tournament on Friday March 9, where players will begin with starting stacks of 30,000 chips and play 20 minute rounds.
Another 100 seats will be given away for Turning Stone’s Saturday March10 no-limit hold’em main event that comes with a guaranteed pay-out of $100,000. Players in this event start with 15,000 in chips and play 40 minute rounds before the blinds escalate. March Mania runs from March 6 thru March 11, and will offer other action too. There are plenty of satellites, and qualifiers will be fun too, with $25 buy-ins and unlimited $25 re-buys. Turning Stone has a great staff with such a good attitude. It is a luxurious 4-star hotel with 710 beautiful rooms providing free high speed wireless internet. There is a special poker rate for you, call 1.800.386.5366.
