The $1,100 buy-in Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Hotel & Casino no-limit hold’em main event is set to kick off at noon on Thursday, Oct. 17. The marquee tournament of the Bike’s Big Poker Oktober series features $500,000 in guaranteed prize money, with three starting flights available to choose from, each beginning at 11:30 a.m. 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 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.”
Good luck to everyone! See you all at The Bike!
