(Thursday through Saturday), with day 2 kicking on Sunday, Apr. 23 at 1:00 PM. Ocean’s 11 is also offering a Quantum Reload day 2 buy-in option for those who do not want to fight their way through day 1 qualifiers in this massive CPPT event. Players can enter on day 2 for $1,500 and receive an average chip stack of 120,000 with blinds starting at 1,000 – 2,000 that day.
Thursday, April 20 saw the first two starting flights out of six get underway in this CPPT event. Flight 1A drew 137 total entries while flight 1B attracted 126.
