Card Play Poker Tour returns to Choctaw in April

One of Oklahoma’s most well-known casinos is about to be converted a hot spot.

The Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant will once again play host to the Card Player Poker Tour, set to begin on April 5. This year should see an even better turnout than previous years with a massive $1 million in guaranteed money up for grabs with the main event.

The series consists of 47 different events, and will be kicked off with a $240 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) tournament that has a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000. The main event, a $1,100 NLHE tournament, begins on April 20 and will run until April 22. Direct buy-in is available for the main event, or players can take advantage of a number of discounted satellites for as little as $65.

There will be a wide range of games available to cover virtually every poker player’s favorite. The routine games of NLHE and Omaha are joined by HORSE, 2-7 Triple Draw and Badugi. The series will also present variations of popular games, such as a hold’em seniors tournament, “win the button,” team, congress and bounty tournaments.
