Bar Poker Open
Your Path to National Championship Poker
You are one step away from competing for over $1.8 million in annual prizes. Pikes Peak Poker and the Bar Poker Open give local players a direct path from their home league to national competition. A basic PRO Membership is $29.99 per month, which breaks down to less than a dollar a day to play for something bigger.
What Is the Bar Poker Open?
Bar Poker Open is a nationwide network of leagues that host free poker events at local bars across the country. Players compete within their own home league for a chance to meet and play against other top-ranked players at the annual Bar Poker Open National Championships.
There are two main ways to qualify for championship events:
Win a seat or prize package through local league play
Earn enough points to buy into major BPO events
Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned player, everything you need to qualify starts at your local Pikes Peak Poker event.

What your points can earn you:
- A spot in the Super League Standings

- Qualification for the Tournament of Champions
Top finishers secure their way into high-level tournaments and bigger prize pools.
