The sixth stop of Season II of the Card Player Poker Tour will see a return to bestbet Jacksonville May 1-12 for a second stop at the North Florida card room as the countdown to yet another champion begins.
The 12-tournament series will being with a $350 no-limit hold’em $100,000 guarantee and conclude with a $240 no-limit hold’em. The focal point of the stop will once again be a $1,500 no-limit hold’em $300,00 guarantee main event that is sure to attract some of the biggest names in the region.
In additional to $450,000 in guaranteed prize money to be won throughout the stop, bestbet will offer another major perk for players in the form of 12 Caribbean cruise packages worth upwards of $3,400 each up for grabs.
Cruise packages are good for two people to embark on the CPPT Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas seven-night Western Caribbean cruise Sep. 7-14. Winners of the package will also receive one entry into the CPPT $1,100 no-limit hold’em main event aboard the ship and $500 in cash.
“We thought it would be nice to give our players another chance to play in a CPPT event, so we are sending 12 players plus a guest to play on the high seas,” said Jesse Hollander, bestbet Director of Poker Operations.
One package will be given away each day of the 12-day series during a high-hand of the hour promotion.
“Giving away a Card Player cruise package along with a CPPT entry seemed like a natural fit during our CPPT series,” Hollander said.
Other tournaments throughout the 12-day series include pot-limit Omaha, Omaha 8 or Better and bounty and all-in or fold tournaments as well as satellites to the larger no-limit hold’em events. The schedule also features two additional guaranteed prize pool tournaments – a $350 no-limit hold’em with a $100,000 guarantee and a $200 no-limit hold’em with a $50,000 guarantee.
The May tournament series will be the sixth stop during Season II of the CPPT and is expected to see even more success then the previous August stop in which Harvey Vandeven took home more than $74,000 by winning the $1,500 no-limit hold’em $300,000 guarantee main event.
