Looking forward to seeing you and that hideous shade of crimson.... Good luck sir

Finalized the structures and submitted to Gaming today. I will be in Tunica at the Gold Strike World Poker Open if any of you have any questions about this event. Look me up if you need a room reservation at either property, and I will be happy to take care of it for you.

Hopefully I do good in Tunica @ WPO, so that I can go to Beau Rivage and play that series. GL every1.

I am very excited about August in Biloxi. I will be playing a couple WSOP Circuit events at the IP, then a couple days off and the Beau Rivage starts. I had a good May at the WSOP in New Orleans(3rd in event #4, and 18th in the main). I am hoping to keep that going into August. I plan on playing every event possible at the Beau. I am looking forward to the first event 250k. Johnny, can we sign up on Friday night for event one, and if so, what time is registration open until at night. I love the way things are run in Biloxi, especially at the Beau. It is nice to make dinner break and they give vouchers to eat. Good luck to everyone in Biloxi. It should be a very busy month on the coast.

You can call 228-386-7254 and ask for Johnny or Donna to book the room. If you do not reach us, PLEASE leave a voicemail, and one of us will call you back shortly. We are probably on the phone booking rooms if we don't answer.

We will be in the office Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm central time.

Johnny,

Thanks for all the great info in this thread.

Question: If I am coming down for the main event only, can I book rooms for Sat, Sep 1 and Sun, Sep 2 under the poker rate for only that one event (meaning 2 nights for only 1 tournament played)? If I make a run in the event, I obviously won't have time to play in the cash games.

Is that weekend sold out already anyway?

thanks.

Johnny and any others who play here during tournament series,

How is the cash action during this time? Is it reasonable to assume 5/10 runs with more than one table and around the clock? How about PLO games?

There are rooms available for all dates of the tournament. For the main event, playing in that one event will be good enough to get the room rate for the last couple days of the tournament.

We usually spread the following games:

4-8 and sometimes 10-20 limit hold'em

6-12, 10-20 1/2 kill, and 20-40 Omaha 8 or better

1-2, 2-5, 5-10, and 10-25 NL hold'em. 2/5 and 1/2 around the clock. 5/10 about 90% of the time,

2-5, 5-10, and 10-25 PLO.
25/50 blind $300 spread limit mixed triple draw lowball/baudgi.

All our PL and NL games play pretty substantially higher than most markets, due to uncapped buy ins. PLO games have optional MS straddle (imagine that, here in MS).

Room booked. Thanks for the reply.

On a side note, I noticed on the officially tourney flier that the daily resort fee was $7.49 but it is actually $9.63 now.

This is nice. Is this just during big tournament series', or throughout the year? Thanks.

I will look into this... I know we made a resort fee rate change, but thought the resort fee had been changed on the flier as well.

This during the tourney series. Normal business is 1-2 and 2-5 NL, with a 2-5-10 game on the weekends. We also have 4-8 limit holdem.

During the week we spread 6-12 Omaha hi lo, and on weekends we spread the 2 games of 10-20 hi lo with a half kill, and also a 15-30 limit hold'em/limit Omaha high game.

The only other game we regularly spread is 2-5 or 5-10 PLO on weekends.
