The San Diego Classic, held Apr. 21 to Apr. 24, is the Card Player Poker Tour’s first event in San Diego and proves once and for all there are indeed great major tournament events in California outside of Los Angeles.
With a modest buy-in of $200, and the opportunity to re-enter once during each qualifying session, players have multiple chances to reach the final day. As an added twist, Ocean’s 11 has partnered with Quantum Reload to give players who do not have the time to play qualifying sessions, or simply want to skip them, the chance to enter the final day by offering a Day 2 $1,350 buy-in. All Quantum Reload entries receive 100,000 chips. Day 2 blinds start at 1,000 – 2,000.
“Don’t let the $100,000 prize pool estimate fool you. We expect to surpass $100,000 well before the Quantum Reload entries join the party”, says Casino Manager Zaven Esmaili. “Our World Poker Tour Deepstack-San Diego multiple-day final event held in October always surpasses its $200,000 guarantee, with a $504,000 prize pool in 2014 and a $379,000 prize pool last year. Our single-day annual classic likewise never disappoints, with our Labor Day prize pool of $68,200, and Memorial Day prize pool of $69,000 blowing past our $50,000 estimates.”
We encourage all players to check the Card Player website, the Ocean’s 11 website, or simply call the casino during the event to keep track of the growing prize pool.
