“I think it’s going to really put the limelight on the resort, and give people an opportunity to see this area. “I think this is a great opportunity for the resort,” BiBenedetto said. “They saw our property, made a couple inquiries, and decided to come out here.” And now, more than 70 million potential viewers will be introduced to the Turning Stone Casino and Resort. “We had Fox out here filming an episode of “The Jury” previously,” BiBenedetto said. “Fox Sports Net’s presentation of the first-ever live final to air nationwide will give our viewers a front-row seat to see and hear what high stakes poker is really all about.” According to Jason BiBenedetto, the poker manager for the Turning Stone Casino, officials from the Fox network were impressed with the facility in Verona. “Poker is fast becoming one of the most watched sports on TV,” Savage said. On the second day of competition, the field will be narrowed to 36 players, with the final six playing on the third day. One hundred and eight players will compete in the three-day, $10,000 buy-in contest. Matt Savage, tournament director for the World Series Poker, will direct the tournament at Turning Stone. Six finalists will battle it out for $1,000,000 live on July 14 at 6 p.m. This competition, to be held today through Wednesday, will be the first ever live telecast of a poker tournament final.

VERONA – The Turning Stone Casino will play host to some big names and high rollers this week as it hosts a No Limit Hold’em tournament, to be televised live on Fox Sports Net.
