The first day of the April running of the 2018 Card Player Poker Tour Ocean’s 11 San Diego Classic is now in the books! This marks the sixth time that the CPPT has made it’s way to beautiful Oceanside, California to for this $250 buy-in main event. The tournament will once again feature six starting flights spread out over three days (Apr. 26-29). Though the event again features a $150,000 estimated prize pool this year, the event has previously drawn as many as 920 entries to create a prize pool of nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
This year’s event kicked off on Thursday, Apr. 26, with the first two starting flights of six getting underway. Flight 1A drew 135 total entries while flight 1B attracted 108. With 243 total entries so far the prize pool has already grown to $48,600 with four starting flights yet to go. Players can also take advantage of the Quantum Tournament structure of this event and buy-in directly for $1,500 on Sunday, Apr. 29 for day 2 and receive 100,000 in tournament chips. Players can also pay a $30 optional staff add-on and receive another 20,000 in chips. Players will only be able to directly buy-in for day 2 up to the start of play at 1:00 p.m. local time.
