Located about an hour south of the Tampa Hard Rock, the Sarasota Kennel Club also opened its poker room yesterday. It also used dividers in between players but played eight-handed instead of six.

That property announced Friday morning that it would be hosting a $220 no-limit hold’em tournament Saturday afternoon. It is one of the first live poker tournaments to be held since casinos nationwide closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Florida’s poker turnout reflected similar gambling demand around the country. There were long lines at Arizona casinos when they opened earlier this month and in Deadwood, casinos experienced a big turnout as well as the city was the first to open commercial casinos in the first week of May.

Silks Poker Room

Several casinos in Arizona returned without the use of the poker room, but Florida’s gaming return brought poker back immediately.

Yesterday, the CDC announced that the virus “does not spread easily” from contaminated surfaces, which bodes well for a safe return of poker as one of the main concerns was the touching of cards and chips that are passed from player to player.

Texas also brought poker back yesterday as Texas Card House in Austin reopened and produced the first live streamed cash game since the shutdown. It streamed a $1-$3 no-limit hold’em cash game for four hours on YouTube.
