The first day of the summer running of the 2017 Card Player Poker Tour Ocean’s 11 San Diego Classic is now in the books! The tournament has an estimated prize pool of $150,000 and it seems likely that number will be easily surpassed, with over $51,000 added to the prize pool after the first day of action alone. 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.
