Event 1 (Day 1)
Level 1 (25/50)
Season III of the Card Player Poker Tour is ready to begin, with the $100,000 GTD Event 1 early arriving field seated and awaiting the "shuffle up and deal" announcement from the tournament staff.
Although it is early, there is a sizable field and crowd at the registration cage already, as players will look to get a piece of this massive prize pool and start off their poker years with a big score in the opening event of the CPPT.
This $100,000 GTD opening event will follow a two day structure with players starting Day 1 with 20,000 in tournament chips.
Players will play 17 levels on Day 1, with the late registration and unlimited re-entry period lasting through Level 8.
All Day 1 levels will last 40 minutes in length, with that number increasing to 50 minutes mid-way through tomorrow's Day 2 session.
But, before we can start talking about Day 2, we need to get through this opening starting flight which has just begun.
When the tournament tables and area begin to get more populated we will bring you a few "notables" in the field, as well as keep you up to date on the size of the field through the late registration period.
It should be an exciting opening day here at Foxwoods Resort Casino and the Foxwoods Poker blog will be bringing you all of the action from every Card Player Poker Tour event as we will be crowning 13 CPPT champions over the next week and a half.
Stay tuned for a complete schedule of the CPPT as well as early Event 1 updates.
