CPPT heads to Florida in October

The Card Player Poker Tour (CPPT) team can’t seem to slow down. It has been busy hopping around the US and is now making its way to sunny Florida. The CPPT will be at Derby Lane in Saint Petersburg for the casino’s Pokerfest Series, which offers ten separate events and $320,000 in guaranteed prize money.

The series gets underway today with a mega stack NLHE tournament featuring a buy-in of just $150. There will be four starting flights and those fortunate enough to make it to the money will divide the $50,000 guarantee. The festival will close on October 7 after finding a winner in the $250 buy-in mega stack that offers a guarantee of $10,000.

Mixed in with the other tournaments will be a $350 buy-in black chip bounty that has $10,000 up for grabs, scheduled to begin on October 1. A $350 monster stack will kick off a day later and has $20,000 to be handed out, followed by a Pot-Limit Omaha tournament with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool that gets rolling on October 4.

There will also be a $250 LIPS (Ladies International Poker Series) tournament with $5,000 to be awarded beginning September 30. On October 2, the $250 $5,000 guaranteed senior’s tournament will kick off.
