A total of 2,027 entries were made in the 12 starting flights of the $500,000 guaranteed 2018 Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Hotel and Casino main event, and if you want to join in on this exciting tournament you still can! Players can take advantage of the event’s Quantum format and direct buy-in on day 2 for $1,800. Players who exercise this option will receive 150,000 in chips, which will be an average stack, and will be able to re-enter once during the first two levels of play.
Day 2 action resumes at 1:00 p.m on Saturday, July 14. You will have a chance to not only win a tournament title and a lot of money, but also to win your way onto an upcoming cover of Card Player Magazine.
All told a total of 228 players have already qualified for day 2, although some players qualified multiple times so the actual number of unique players could decrease as multi-qualifiers are determined by the tournament staff. The huge turnout so far has blown away the 2017 running of this event, which saw Brad Horner top a field of 1,754 entries to win the top prize of $49,123.
The final prize pool and payout information is not yet available this year, as it will depend on the number of direct buy-ins made on day 2.
The Bicycle Hotel & Casino recently unveiled a $50 million hotel expansion to the property. The 117,907 square-foot addition boasts 99 rooms, including 29 suites, as well as a multitude of amenities including the all-new Bike Brewery, full spa and an elevated outdoor pool deck with private cabanas.
“This is a hotel for everyone,” says Bicycle Hotel & Casino CEO Hashem Minaiy. “Even if you aren’t a card player, there are plenty of reasons to stay here and come back. We have the best, most friendly staff in the industry. They are original thinkers who will bend over backwards to serve our customers. I really encourage all people to come and see for themselves what the Bicycle Hotel & Casino is all about. I have no doubt that our staff will prove me right and deliver every time.”
The 29 luxury suites range from the Classic Suite (648 sq. ft.), the signature Bike Suite (904 sq. ft.), the Governor’s Suite (1,359 sq. ft.) and a Presidential Suite (2,007 sq. ft.). The Presidential Suite has two bedrooms, a formal living room and a Jacuzzi tub.
A floor design of overlapping circles, inspired by a bicycle wheel, winds its way to a variety of amenities, including dining, a coffee house, a gift shop, entry to the casino concourse and an Asia-themed VIP gaming area.
The second floor is home to a state-of-the-art fitness center, the outdoor pool deck and the hotel spa and sauna. There is also 8,000 square-feet of multi-purpose event and private meeting space. The 28-screen Bike Brewery has 28 beers on tap, including two private labels exclusive to the Bicycle Hotel & Casino in the James Blonde Ale and the Golden Hand Hefeweizen.
