The Card Player Poker Tour is making its way back to the Seneca Niagara Casino for the fourth straight year. The 2019 CPPT Seneca Fall Poker Classic is set to run from Nov. 8-18, with nine events featuring combined guarantees of $380,000.
The whole affair kicks off with the $100,000 guaranteed $265+$35 buy-in no-limit hold’em event. The tournament features four starting flights, beginning at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on both Friday, Nov. 8 and Saturday, Nov. 9. Players will start the tournament with 20,000 in chips, with 30-minute levels. Those that survive through their starting flight will combine into one field on Sunday, Nov. 10 to play down to a winner.
The marquee event of the series is the $200,000 guaranteed Card Player Poker Tour main event, which once again sports a buy-in of $910+$90. The main event begins with two starting flights, each beginning at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 15 and Saturday, Nov. 16. Day 2 will see the field narrowed to the final six players, who will return on Nov. 18 to play down to a champion. The eventual champion will not only take home the top payout in the event, but will also earn a spot on a future cover of Card Player Magazine! In 2018 Victor Adams outlasted a field of 249 entries to secure the title, the $53,583 top prize and his place on the cover.
Players looking to win their main event seat at a discount can take part in the numerous scheduled $145 qualifiers.
