Las Vegas remains one of the few places out there with a decent selection of live poker, and South Point Hotel Casino & Spa offered a unique menu item over the weekend: a $2,050 shootout.
Dubbed the Benny Binion Shootout, it featured a $256,000 guaranteed prize pool capped at 128 runners. With a low rake of just $50 — all going to the staff, according to the event's promotional material — and a bit of an old-school prize breakdown that awarded almost 40% of the money to the winner, the Benny Binion Shootout proved an attractive option that filled the allotted seats.
