This weekend, for the seventh time in as many years, the Card Player Poker Tour returns to the Bicycle Hotel & Casino for the Big Poker Oktober tournament series. A total of 49 tournaments and satellites are set to run from Sept. 28 through Oct. 20, with $1,975,000 in guaranteed prize pools.
While the schedule is packed with fantastic events with something to offer for every player, the marquee tournament of the series is undoubtedly the $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold’em $500,000 guaranteed Card Player Poker Tour no-limit hold’em main event that will take place from Oct. 17-20.
The event will feature three starting flights, each beginning at 11:30 on Oct. 17-19. Players can also take advantage of the Quantum Tournament format and buy directly into day 2 for $4,300 on Oct. 20. Day 2 features single re-entry for the first two levels, with players who buy-in that day receiving an average stack of 120,000 with blinds resuming at 1,000-2,000 with a big-blind ante of 2,000.
In addition to the CPPT main event, there will be another nine events with guaranteed prize pools, including the $1,000,000 guaranteed ‘Quantum Million 3’ tournament that runs from Oct. 5-13.
For those looking to win their way into the big dance at a discount, there will be nightly juice free single-table satellites with a $330 buy-in that will each have three guaranteed CPPT main event seats to be awarded. There will also be a number of Mega Satellites in the lead-up to the main event.
Good luck to everyone! See you all at The Bike!
