This fall the Card Player Poker Tour will return to bestbet Jacksonville, home of the largest poker room in Florida, for a 16-event tournament series running from Oct. 27 â Nov. 14. This marks the ninth time that the CPPT has teamed up with the North Florida poker mainstay.
âThis will definitely be our biggest Card Player Poker Tour event. It will have the largest main event buy-in yet, it also has a mystery bounty tournament and a big opening event,â said bestbet Executive Director of Poker Operations Jesse Hollander. âI believe this is going to be the biggest CPPT event yet, and we are excited to welcome the tour back to Jacksonville.â
As Hollander mentioned, the buy-in for this yearâs CPPT bestbet Jacksonville main event will be the highest yet: $3,000. Prior to this, the largest cost to enter was the $2,500 buy-in of 2021.
The series begins with a $400 buy-in no-limit holdâem event that will run from Oct. 27-30, with six starting flights available to choose from and the final table streamed on bestbetLIVE, the card roomâs popular YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Live channel that hosts tournament and cash game action. This will be the first of three big weekend tournaments spread throughout the series.
The second will be a $1,700 buy-in no-limit holdâem âmystery bountyâ event that runs from Nov. 3-6, featuring bounty payouts ranging from $500 up to $50,000. The venue hosted this red-hot new tournament format earlier this year, with the event being a well-received success.
This year, the mystery bounty and the $320 no-limit holdâem ladies event will have both feature and final table live stream coverage, while the final tables of both the kickoff event and the main event will be broadcast on bestbetLIVE.
This yearâs CPPT $3,000 buy-in main event will run from Nov. 11-14, the final weekend of the festival. There are two starting flights offered, kicking off at noon on Friday and Saturday. Players will start with 40,000 in chips, with 60-minute blind levels to start.
Like
every tournament on the schedule for this series, the main event will feature
unlimited re-entries during the registration period. Registration for the tournament will
remain open until the start of level 9. With this buy-in being higher than all previous CPPT main events at the venue, Hollander made sure to note that there will be plenty of ways for players to win their way into the main event and other marquee tournaments throughout the series via satellite.
Outside of the three big weekend events and the ladies tournament, the 2022 CPPT bestbet Jacksonville series will feature plenty of other exciting options, including a $360 bounty event, a $260 H.E.R.O.S. tournament (the new preferred order of the mixed-game standard formerly known as H.O.R.S.E.), a $500 pot-limit Omaha event, and a $1,000 buy-in no-limit holdâem six-max event.
While in Florida, poker fans should also make sure to check out the new bestbet cardroom and sports bar in St. Augustine, Florida which opened in late August. The 40,673-square foot facility will boast 49 gaming tables, a sports bar, a sushi bar, tableside service, simulcast wagering, and more than 70 flat-screen TVs. In addition to poker, bestbet will also offer One Card Poker, Three Card Poker, Pai Gow, DJ Wild Stud Poker, I LUV Suits, and Ultimate Texas Holdâem.
