The Bicycle Casino
More than $750,000 was awarded in the main events alone the previous time around and even more is expected in 2015.
In all, the Bicycle series will feature 19 tournaments, including a six-day $235 no-limit hold’em $200,000 guarantee and a seven-day $235 no-limit hold’em $300,000 guarantee. The schedule also features no-limit hold’em deepstack and bounty tournaments and non-hold’em events including H.O.R.S.E and Omaha eight-or-better.
The marquee event of the series is the $1,100 no-limit hold’em $500,000 estimated guarantee main event using the Bike’s own Quantum Reload concept.
Players will have the option to buy-in directly for $1,100 on any of the three starting days, but those who wish to skip day 1 altogether can buy directly into day 2 for $4,300. Players that choose the latter option will begin with 60 big blinds with blinds at 1,000-2,000. There will be no-late entry on day 2, however players who are eliminated on any day 1 may re-enter the following day.
Each of the main event’s three starting days and day 2 will begin at 12 pm. The final day will begin at 2 pm and the final table will be streamed on Live at the Bike.
Hollywood Park Casino
Play will begin Oct. 16 with a $160 no-limit hold’em $15,000 guarantee tournament and finish with the $500 no-limit hold’em $150,000 guarantee main event Oct. 22-25.
The main event will consist of three starting days with 30-minute levels beginning at 12pm. Day 2 will begin at 2pm and feature 40-minute levels until the final table is reached. The final table will play out on the same day, however levels will increase to 60 minutes. Players will begin with 30,000 in tournament chips and can re-enter or register until the beginning of level 9. Each day one will end when only 10 percent of the field remains, meaning all day 2 players will be in the money. Levels on day 2 will begin at the earliest ending level of the day ones. Players may also qualify up to three times and combine their chips.
