For the first time ever the Card Player Poker Tour is making its way to Deadwood, South Dakota. The 2019 CPPT Deadwood Shootout $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event is set to take place from Nov. 8-10 at the Silverado-Franklin Historic Hotel & Gaming Complex.
Deadwood was established during the Black Hills Gold Rush in 1876 and is now a National Historic Landmark District. The city is known for its colorful ‘Wild West’ history. It was the location of the murder of Wild Bill Hickok, who was famously killed while playing poker. He famously held aces and eights as his upcards in a game of five-card stud, which later became known as "Dead Man's Hand."
The Silverado-Franklin Historic Hotel & Gaming Complex is situated at the top of Deadwood’s Historic Main Street. The Casino features a five-table poker room, 375 slot machines, and 22 blackjack tables.
The Silverado-Franklin has played host to a number of sizable poker tournaments over the years, including the annual South Dakota State Poker Championship. In May of 2019, Sergio Mireles topped a field of 258 entries to win a $1,100 buy-in Mid-States Poker Tour event for $60,946.
November will see the first-ever Card Player Poker Tour champion decided in South Dakota! Make your way to Deadwood for your chance to raise the trophy in this exciting and historic location.
