Top-notch tournament poker action is just around the corner at a legendary Los Angeles area casino, with the Card Player Poker Tour returning to The Bicycle Casino for the Big Poker Oktober tournament series this fall. A total of 49 tournaments and satellites are set to run from Sept. 28 through Oct. 20, with $1,975,000 in total guaranteed prize pools.
While the schedule is packed with fantastic tournaments with something to offer every poker player, the marquee event 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 tournament 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.
Bike's Tournament Director Mo Fathipour pioneered the Quantum Tournament format, which has been a hit with participants in this event in recent years.
“Players love it because the prize pool goes up and the tournament draws some professional players," said Fathipour. "The concept is getting popular. We had it in Canada, we had it in Las Vegas, and we had it in San Diego. It’s going almost everywhere.”
In addition to the CPPT main event, there will be another nine events with guaranteed prize pools, including the $1 Million guaranteed ‘Quantum Million 3’ tournament that runs from Oct. 5-13.
Hope to see many of you there!
