BetMGM's $4M Championship Fires on July 4 — Here's What's Happening on the Floor

The BetMGM Championship Arrives

A $3,200 buy-in with $4 million guaranteed — and it's not even a bracelet event.

The BetMGM Championship No Limit Hold'em fires its first flight at 7:00 p.m. PT on July 3, with a second flight following at the same time on July 4. That $4M guarantee makes it the fattest non-bracelet prize pool currently on the WSOP-summer schedule, and it lands on a floor already running hot with side action.

The Rest of the July 4 Slate

Here's what else is firing over the holiday weekend, all at the Horseshoe:

• $3,000 PLO Mystery Bounty Day 1C ($2,720 entry, $2M guarantee) — 8:00 p.m. PT on July 3, with Day 2 resuming July 4 at 8:00 p.m.
• $1,600 NLH Mystery Bounty Day 1A ($1,430 entry, $2M guarantee) — 6:00 p.m. PT on July 4, Day 1B on July 5.
• $520 NLH Main Event ($500K guarantee) — multiple flights running July 3 through July 5.
• PLO Championship ($2,000 buy-in, $1M guarantee) — fires July 5 at 7:00 p.m.

That $4M guarantee makes it the fattest non-bracelet prize pool currently on the WSOP-summer schedule.

Why This Matters

The holiday weekend stacks at least $11.5 million in combined guarantees across these events on a single floor. The BetMGM Championship alone needs roughly 1,250 entries across its two flights to cover — and with the July 4 crowd flooding the Horseshoe, the overlay risk cuts both ways.

If you're watching from the couch, keep an eye on the PLO Mystery Bounty Day 2, which resumes July 4 at 8:00 p.m. PT. Bounty reveals in PLO always produce chaos worth watching.
