Card Player is proud to announce the first stop of the Card Player Poker Tour at Choctaw Casino Resort in late July.

The CPPT will feature live streaming coverage of all final tables and is led by experienced tournament director Ken Lambert, Jr.

“All of our casino partners will benefit from us sharing our success and experience, by generating higher revenues and increased awareness of their properties,” said Lambert.

The series will run from July 26 to August 05, 2012. The 22-event series features no-limit hold’em, Omaha eight-or-better and pot-limit Omaha. The guaranteed prize pools range from $15,000 to $500,000, with buy-ins from $170 + $30, to two $1,000 + 80 Championship events.

Choctaw Casino Resort

Those in need of a second chance after a summer in Las Vegas should visit the Durant, Oklahoma casino. Choctaw recently received a Four Diamond rating by AAA and is home to a 30-table poker room with a personal lounge and high-limit area located on its own floor away from the noise of other games. With a private staff and guest services, the lounge makes poker players feel comfortable.

The last Card Player no-limit hold’em main event at Choctaw attracted a field of 324. New stops on the CPPT will be announced in the near future.
