Card Player Poker Tour Heading To Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort In August

While Las Vegas nurses a hangover from the non-stop summer action, poker players can still get their fix of huge money with the Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort’s $100,000 guarantee Big Slicks Poker Classic, which will be featured as part of the Card Player Poker Tour this August.

The $360 buy-in main event boasts a whopping five separate starting flights, beginning Thursday, Aug. 10 and continuing with both morning and night flights on Friday and Saturday.

If the $360 buy-in is out of your bankroll’s comfort zone, don’t fret. Scarlet Pearl has the players covered with numerous satellites options. Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m., you can score your seat into the main event for just $70. The satellites continue even into the series schedule with opportunities on Aug. 4, 7-11. One in every eight players will earn a ticket.

The 14-event series kicks off Wednesday, Aug. 2 and wraps up Sunday, Aug. 13 with the conclusion of the main event. The tournament schedule is chock-full of variety, with games such as no-limit hold’em, Big O, stud eight-or-better and pot-limit Omaha. Players can choose from a $130 survivor tournament, a $130 ante only tournament, and even a $70 double shootout.

Anyone who manages to take down one of the first 12 events on the schedule will also receive a seat into the main event.
