Cardplayer Lifestyle will be hosting its tenth Mixed Game Festival, a five-day affair at Resorts World Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, with the PokerGO Tour (PGT) sponsoring two seats into the PGT Mixed Games Satellite event as Grand Prizes.
We’re proud to announce that Mixed Game Festival X will return once again to the fabulous Resorts World Las Vegas from February 16-20 to stage another fun-filled and exciting week of mixed game poker.
The festival will include a pair of tournaments, namely a $300 Omaha 8/Stud 8 tournament on Monday, February 17, and a $300 H.E.R.O.S. tournament on Thursday, February 20 as our grand finale.
Alongside the two tournaments, nonstop dealer’s choice cash game action will be spread at limits as low as $4/8 and $8/16, with higher stakes available upon request.

Grand Prize Details
Having the PGT as our presenting sponsor illuminates a path for our festival attendees to have a shot at playing with poker’s top mixed game pros on one of the industry’s biggest stages.
In addition to an assortment of high-end merchandise throughout the festival, the PGT will be giving away 2 (two) $750 seats to the PGT Mixed Games 8-Game Mix Satellite.
The two seats will be given away during our $300 H.E.R.O.S. tourney on Thursday, February 20, as follows:
- At the close of registration (2:15pm), a player remaining will be selected at random and be awarded one of the PGT Mixed Games satellite seats. The second one will be awarded via a Mystery Bounty. The one exception is that a player cannot win both prizes.
- For the first seat, we’ll randomly select a table (via seat cards), where a “blind flip” will take place to decide the winner.
- The Mystery Bounty portion of the event begins at the conclusion of registration with a single prize of the second satellite ticket.
The 2025 PGT Mixed Games series will be held at the PokerGO Studio the week after Mixed Game Festival X concludes, kicking off with the aforementioned $750 8-Game Mix Satellite event on February 24 in the Aria Poker Room.
