Ironman Poker Challenge Officially Recognized for Guinness World Record

Wilmington, DE, March 25, 2013 — Delaware is officially the home of one of the newest Guinness World Records. The world-renowned recordkeeping institution earlier this month officially presented its certificate recognizing the Casino at Delaware Park’s 2012 Ironman Poker Challenge as the “Longest Continuous Poker Tournament.”

At 12:36 a.m. on Monday, August 27, 2012, Delaware Park’s Ironman Poker Challenge concluded after 36 hours, 34 minutes and 11 seconds. It began Saturday, August 25, at noon and ran to completion without breaks. The tournament drew a total of 192 participants, three of whom were still playing when the thirty-six hour mark was eclipsed. Participants in the event competed for a prize pool of $100,608. The tournament champion, Peter Konas of the Czech Republic, won $27,160.

The entire event was recorded for posterity and witnessed by agents of Delaware Gaming Enforcement. All of the documentation from the Ironman Poker Challenge was sent for approval from Guinness to make the world record official.

“We are exceptionally proud to be the home of an event that has made world history,” said Andy Gomeringer, Senior Vice President of Slots & Marketing. “The Ironman Poker Challenge attracts outstanding and dedicated players, and we are very pleased that Guinness has recognized the stamina and caliber of our players—and the Delaware Park staff that supports them.”
