|
Nipun Java headlines the day 1B survivors in the Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Casino $1,100 no-limit hold’em main event. The World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner ended the day with 268,300. Java has upwards of $1.2 million in live tournament winnings and a win in the CPPT main event would be his third major career title.
Ross Tesser finished as chipleader of the 37 players who survived the day with 350,000.
World Poker Tour Season XI Player of the Year Matt Salsberg also finished the day in the mix with 52,200. Other Day 1B survivors include Nathan Bjerno, Nick Bonnefoi and Elmo Imperial.
Shan Jing, who won this event last year for nearly $136,000, and Thomas Beckstead, who won the inaugural CPPT Bicycle series in 2013, both returned to defend their respective titles but were eliminated before the night was over.
Other eliminations on Day 1B included Daniel Strelitz, Dana Kellstrom, Cord Garcia, Oddie Dardon, and Dan Heimiller.
Day 1C begins Monday, Oct. 12 at 12pm.
The main event features three starting days and uses the Bike’s own patented Quantum Reload concept.
Players 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.
The final table will be streamed on Live at the Bike.
