The schedule
The USD 400 High Roller starts first, at 18.00 on 12 November, from 50,000 chips — 250 big blinds — with eight announced levels, unlimited USD 400 re-entries to level 8 and a stated cap of 60 players. It continues on 13 November and finishes on the 14th.
The USD 250 Main Event has two starting days: 1A at 16.00 on 13 November and 1B at 15.00 on the 14th. Both begin at 40,000 chips, 200 big blinds, with 14 announced levels, unlimited USD 250 re-entries to level 8 and a cap of 80 players per day. The final plays 15 November from 13.00.
The USD 100 Xpoker Turbo closes the festival at 19.00 on 15 November, from 30,000 chips and 150 big blinds, capped at 60 players. Main Event participants are given priority for seats.
What the caps mean in practice
All three events carry published player caps, which is worth planning around — 80 per Main Event day and 60 for each of the other two. Caps that low can fill, so a seat is not something to assume on the day.
Before you go
Poker is a game of skill played for entertainment, not a source of income. Schedules and buy-ins are both revised between publication and the first card; confirm with Casino Santa Fe before travelling. Players must be 18 or over.
