Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: N/A
In a recent interview, Poker Room Director Kenneth Lambert said that one of his goals for the Isle Casino Pompano Park Poker Room, was to to make the room known country-wide. While he felt the room was a regional powerhouse, Lambert wanted to do something that would attract players from different areas of the map, and partnered with the Card Player Poker Tour. The tour was started by Card Player Media, the publishers of Card Player magazine, and CardPlayer.com. This is now the sixth season of the tour, with series ran at some of the most well-known poker room's in the country (Wynn, Venetian, Foxwoods, Bicycle Casino, Maryland Live!, Choctaw, etc).
The series here at the Isle Pompano Park will run for the next eleven days, with ten events on the schedule, as well as satellites into many of the tournaments. The action begins in just a few minutes, with Event #1, which is a $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD). The event is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes on Day 1 (transitioning to 40 minutes on Day 2). Registration for each starting flight is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), with play scheduled to conclude when the field reaches the 5% mark. Day 1 payouts return, which was a wrinkle that we saw during the last major series (Florida State Poker Championship), as 12.5% make the money. Players that bag chips in any of the opening flights will return on Monday for Day 2 (12:00pm). Lets not forget about the "chip lead bonus," as the largest stack from each flight will earn entry into CPPT Event #8, which is the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($250,000 GTD).
Live blogged coverage of the tournament will be offered during each of the afternoon starting flights (Flight 1A, Flight 1B, Flight 1D, and Flight 1F), and will continue through Day 2 of the event (Monday).
