Update March 17
On March 17, PokerStars also confirmed the postponement of EPT Sochi, pulling the plug days before the event. The tournament had previously been 'under review' and was scheduled to run March 20-29.
Previously, October had been scheduled to host EPT Open Sochi, but now, that slot will host a full EPT festival from Oct. 2-11, with the Main Event scheduled for Oct. 6-11.
'We are deeply disappointed that circumstances have forced us to postpone,' wrote Severin Rasset of PokerStars. 'However, our priority is the safety and good health of our players during this uncertain time.'
The World Poker Tour also announced postponement of its scheduled final tables for WPT Gardens Championship, WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open and WPT L.A. Poker Classic. All three events reached a final table to be played out in Las Vegas at the HyperX Esports Arena at the end of March and beginning of April.
Now, WPT CEO Adam Pliska said the final tables will be pushed back until late May, when another set of final tables is scheduled. However, given the current status of the poker landscape — with most events seemingly canceled through April — it's anyone's guess whether that rescheduling works out.
Perhaps the biggest announcement yet came March 17, when it was reported that the governor of Nevada will mandate closure of all 'non-essential' businesses, which includes casinos. No further details have been leaked and an announcement is believed to be forthcoming.
On the other side of the country, poker hot spot bestbet Jacksonville announced its own closure.
Update March 16
Over the weekend and into Monday, more closures and cancelations/postponements hit the wire.
Most significantly, a slew of Las Vegas properties have announced temporary closures, meaning the options for live poker in Sin City have dwindled considerably. MGM has closed all of its properties, a significant list that includes poker hotbeds ARIA and Bellagio, as well as Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand and The Mirage. The closures are indefinite. Wynn and sister property Encorewill also close for at least two weeks. Both stories came from the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Additionally, MGM has closed its properties in Ohio, Maryland and Massachusetts.
Rather than closing, The Orleans has opted to take the unorthodox step of making tables five-handed, Kevin Mathers reported. Venetian announced a similar measure but limiting tables to three players. Later, the Venetian announced a March 16 closure of its poker room.
Atlantic City will also see all poker venues closed as part of a tri-state shutdown along with Connecticut and New York.
Reno, Nevada, has mandated closure of all casinos and other 'non-essential businesses' by Tuesday morning.
WinStar Resort, located just north of Dallas across the Oklahoma border, also announced it will close for the time being.
The governor of Mississippi mandated that all casinos be shut down at midnight as part of a state of emergency. That means 12 properties on the Mississippi Coast will close.
Sunday 2:15 And 7:15 Tournaments Are Very Well Structured And ...
Finally the latest tournament dominoes to fall came from Borgata, which canceled the planned Spring Poker Open scheduled to start April 7, and Majestic Star in Indiana, which postponed a planned MSPT event. WPTDeepStacks Montreal, scheduled for April 16-27 at Playground Poker Club, has also been postponed. Add the WSOPC stop at Horseshoe Council Bluffs to the list.
