Fall Poker Round Up Begins November 5 at Wildhorse

Wildhorse Resort & Casino in Pendleton, Oregon, will host its annual Fall Poker Round Up series from November 5 to 15, 2026. The schedule includes 11 standard tournaments and five super satellites. Each of these 16 events carries added prize money, bringing the series' total added money to $30,000.

The main event of the series is a $550 buy-in no limit hold'em tournament. An additional $6,000 in cash has been set aside for this tournament. Buy-ins for the standard tournaments range from $220 to $550. Besides no limit hold'em, the schedule also includes Omaha eight or better, a mix of Omaha eight or better and seven card stud eight or better, H.E.R.O.S., and a tournament reserved for players over 50. For those who want to enter the main event at a lower cost, $115 super satellites will be played throughout the series.

The series has been a stepping stone to major successes in the past. Current world champion Lucas Jumalon beat a field of 389 entries in the opening event of the 2026 Spring Poker Round Up and won the $220 event for $16,170. The 22-year-old from Spokane went on, a few months later, to finish the 2026 World Series of Poker main event with $10 million. A year earlier, John Wasnock won the main event in Pendleton for $56,330 in a field of 584 players, and later lost heads-up at the final table of the WSOP main event to Michael Mizrachi, collecting $6 million.

The most recent main event drew 653 entries and created a prize pool of $315,175. Michael Jutte took first place for $38,941. Wildhorse has been hosting multiple Poker Round Up series throughout the year for more than twenty years. The legal age limit for gambling applies.
