The most recent running of this tournament in April of 2017 drew a field of 920 total entries to build a $238,100 prize pool.
The $250 buy-in CPPT tournament has six day 1 starting flights in total, beginning at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. each day from July 20-22. (Thursday through Saturday), with day 2 kicking on Sunday, July 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, July 20 saw the first two starting flights out of six get underway in this CPPT event. Flight 1A drew 132 total entries while flight 1B attracted 124.
