$200,000 Guaranteed CPPT Live! Casino & Hotel Main Event: 186 Total Entries Made Through Day 1BLate Registration and Re-Entry Is Available Until The Start of Day 2 At 12:15 P.M. On Sunday, Nov. 3 |
|
A total of 120 entries were made on day 1B of the 2019 Card Player Poker Tour Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event. With 66 entries made on day 1A, the total field has grown to 186 entries. That means that there is a potential overlay in this $200,000 guaranteed tournament, with late-registration and re-entry still available up until the start of day 2 at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3 for those looking to get in on the action.
Day 1B saw 120 entries narrowed down to just 40 players after 12 levels of exciting tournament action. Jefferey Chang surged at the end of the night to bag up the biggest stack of day 1B with 324,000. That puts him in second overall heading into day 2, behind only day 1A leader Richie Smith. The Washington D.C. resident earned the largest score of his tournament resume when he finished runner-up in a $500 buy-in $150,000 guaranteed event here at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland back in 2014.
Other big stacks from day 1B include Tim Weslow (285,000), Adam Jones (253,000), Joe Cashen (228,000), Sophia Pappas (200,000), Noah Shefrin (190,500) and Yaser Al-Keliddar (170,000). Al-Keliddar is a World Series of Poker bracelet winner, having taken down the 2018 $3,000 six-max limit hold’em event for $154,338. He also finished in the first CPPT event held at this property back in 2018, earning $4,881. Mukharji Uppalapati finished 18th in that same tournament and bagged up 133,000 today.
Once again, Day 2 will start at 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2. Players can late register or re-enter this event up to the start of the day. Anyone who takes advantage of that option will begin with 40,000 in chips, with blinds of 1,500-2,500 with a 2,500 big blind ante for level 13. Day 2 action will continue until a final table of nine is set.

The Poker Room at Live! Casino & Hotel is one of the largest on the East Coast, with 15,000 square feet of room and 50 tables available for 24/7, around-the-clock action. The luxurious and comfortable room will play host to 13 days of exciting tournament play, with a variety of games and formats on the schedule.
“We are excited to be teaming up with the Card Player Poker Tour for the second time,” said The Poker Room at Live! Casino & Hotel Tournament Director Jason Heidenthal. “The room opened in 2013 and since then our goal has been to make it the premier tournament destination in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area.”
The Live! Casino & Hotel first teamed up with the Card Player Poker Tour in January of 2018. The inaugural series featured 16 events, with the marquee tournament being the $1,100 buy-in, $200,000 guaranteed no-limit hold’em main event. The tournament attracted a total of 307 total entries, blowing away the $200,000 guarantee to build a final prize pool of $307,000. The lion’s share of that was awarded to eventual champion Eric Ladny, who took home $54,022 and became the first-ever CPPT champion decided in Maryland.
Conveniently located between Baltimore and Washington D.C., Live! Casino & Hotel is open 24/7/365, features more than 200 live-action table games, approximately 4,000 of the latest slot machines, and two High Limit rooms. Those driving to the property can take advantage of the six-story parking garage with space for 5,000 vehicles. The property is home to 11 excellent dining establishments, including Bobby’s Burger Palace, Phillips Seafood Restaurant, and The Cheesecake Factory.
Players can book rooms at the Hotel, which features 310 luxurious rooms and 52 suites. The Hotel Tower is the tallest building in the county at 17 stories high! Those looking for another lodging option can check out Live! Lofts, conveniently located five minutes from Live! Casino & Hotel, which offer 250 guest rooms and suites.
