The Card Player Poker Tour bestbet Jacksonville series began Aug. 13.

After a year-long hiatus, the tour has returned for a 10-tournament series through Aug. 24 with a $1,500 no-limit hold’em $300,000 guarantee main event to cap off the action.

“It’s been over a year since our last Card Player Poker Tour event and we are very excited to have them back,” said Jesse Hollander, bestbet Jacksonville director of poker operations.

Typically drawing fields of more than 200 players, the main event is expected to be even better this time around. Tournament organizers have already registered 88 players for the main event through satellites alone more than a week before the tournament.

“It’s actually been a while since our last big event,” Hollander said. “So this should be very well attended.”

With just over a week before the main event is set to begin, there was already 88 players registered who had won their seats through satellites.

The bestbet series marks the sixth stop of Season III of the CPPT. The main event winner is likely to take home one of the largest single payouts of the season and will join Fred Paradis (Foxwoods – $81,520), Maxim Sorokin (Wynn – $101,619), Nick Weinberg (Atlantis – $38,625), Chan Pelton (Choctaw – $130,455) and Enrici Christophe (St. Maarten – $37,950) on the list of champions.

The 10-tournament schedule includes a $350 no-limit hold’em $100,000 guarantee, a $200 no-limit hold’em $50,000 guarantee tournament, a $240 pot-limit Omaha eight-or-better tournament, an all-in or fold tournament, bounty tournaments and many satellites.

“With 70 tables and a spacious layout, our room is built for poker comfort,” Hollander said. “Players will enjoy our tournaments as well as our large selection of cash games daily. With lots of daily promotions and giving out cash and satellite entries, everyone will have an opportunity to win their way into one of our many multi-table satellites or just pick up some extra cash.”
