|
The second day of the 2017 Card Player Poker Tour Ocean’s 11 San Diego Classic is complete, and this event is shaping up to be huge! A total of 503 total entries have now been made through the first four starting flights of this exciting tournament, meaning that the prize pool has already passed the six-figure mark with two starting flights and Quantum Reload day 2 direct buy-in still available in this $250 buy-in event.
The Quantum Reload option is 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.
Friday, April 21 saw flights 1C and 1D take place, with the former drawing 111 entries and the later attracting 129. The two flights added $48,000 to the prize pool, bringing the total up to $100,600 with a big turnout anticipated for Saturday’s 1E and 1F flights.
From the 240 entries made on Friday, only 35 players made it through to day 2, with Doug Hamel bagging up the chip lead with 269,000. In the four flights so far there have been four players to qualify for day 2 more than once, with Joseph Ochoa being the only player so far to qualify three times. In Ochoa’s case, that will be the 186,000 that he bagged up at the conclusion of flight 1D. Players that qualify multiple times will take their largest stack forward and be paid $1,200 in lieu of any additional entry into day 2.
