The action officially kicks off Sept. 28 with a $150 buy-in no-limit hold’em mega stack with four starting flights that features a $50,000 guarantee, and wraps up Oct. 7 with a last chance $250 buy-in mega stack with a $10,000 guarantee. Other events on the schedule include a $350 buy-in black chip bounty event with a $10,000 guarantee on Oct. 1, a $350 buy-in monster stack on Oct. 2 with a $20,000 guarantee, and a $300 pot-limit Omaha event on Oct. 4 with at least $10,000 up for grabs.
“We are very excited partnering with the Card Player Poker Tour,” said Derby Lane Card Room Manager Pam Buzzetto. “We expect large turnouts and some very big prize pools for the players.”
Other events in the series include the $250 buy-in, $5,000 guaranteed LIPS (Ladies International Poker Series) event on Sept. 30, and a $250 buy-in, $5,000 guaranteed senior’s (50 years and older) tournament on Oct. 2.
The highlight of the series, however, is the $200,000 guaranteed main event. The $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament begins on Oct. 4 with the first of four starting flights. Players can take their chances with day 1A Thursday at noon, or day 1B at noon on Friday, Oct. 5. Day 1C begins later that day at 6 p.m., and final flight, day 1D, starts at noon on Saturday, Oct. 6.
Each player in the main event will enjoy a 30,000-starting stack. However, for just a $30 add-on, players will receive an additional 20,000 for a total of 50,000 to start. Blinds will being at 30 minutes for day 1, but will increase to 40 minutes to close out the tournament.
If the $1,000 buy-in is too steep for your bankroll, don’t worry, in addition to daily $110 single table satellites, Derby Lane will be hosting a number of main event satellites where players can earn their seat for just $125. The first takes place Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 1 p.m. and the second on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 6:30 p.m. Both satellites are guaranteeing three seats each.
Players can also earn their main event seat with Derby Lane’s package qualifiers. For just $175, players will compete to earn a buy-in into three different events. Satellite winners will not only get their $1,000 main event seat, but also a $350 buy-in into the Oct. 2 monster stack, and a $250 buy-in into the Oct. 7 last chance mega stack. These satellites, which also guarantee three seats each, will take place on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 6 p.m. and Monday, Oct. 1 at 1 p.m.
Derby Lane is located in St. Petersburg, Florida, the second largest city in the Tampa Bay Area. The poker room is part of the St. Petersburg Kennel Club, which is the oldest continuously operating greyhound track in the world, having run their inaugural race back in January of 1925. We hope to see you there!
