Well, late reg is already being addressed. It looks like it will be 3pm for all events.

Sure, I'll post something in the next day or two.

I think something that would be a fair compromise for the 9 handed/10 handed discussion would be for the $400 and $600, do it after dinner. Definitely seems like a good compromise those in the smaller buyin events!

or just start 9handed in the 1k+ like they are trying to give us wtf why would you possibly post this when they're already gonna give us 9handed in 1k+ buyins????

Tommy,

Can you explain what the statement above means? Does it mean if we book suites now we can reduce the room rate later once the promotional rate is released?

Thanks.

1/2% of total prizepools to be awarded to over all points leader? What was last years combined total prizepools. 1/2% is going to be a decent prize im thinking

Thanks.

We provide suite rates to our players during the DSE by giving a code that players can use when making their reservation. Even without that code for now, if you book a suite and it meets the qualifications set on the Venetian website, we will be able to reduce your suite rate once you have played a DSE event $400 and higher or averaged 6 hours of live cash game play per day of your stay.

Yes, 1st place will probably be somewhere around $15,000 - $18,000

That would mean you only expect 3 million in total prize pools from all events? (1/2% goes winner take all?) No wayyyy, ur 5K main and 10K highroller will be more then 3 million prize pools combined alone.

I would imagine the 10K will get 200-300 people alone

Or is my math off?

This is winner take all right? Or is it multi spots? Im getting like almost 6 million in prize pools if only 100 people sign up for every event. Which id expect numbers are going to be way higher

PokerFink · 03-04-2012, 07:16 PM

2010 my buddy got first in the points and it was for about 28k IIRC.

I got one of the bottom spots (7th?) and it was about 3k.

Maybe my numbers were a little off. I didnt take into account the $10,000. I was trying to just go off memory which maybe wasnt the best idea.

We will pay 10 places.

Is 200-300 realistic for the 10k? New territory.

i dunno, i feel like 200 easy, 300 might be a stretch. they had a random 2500 during the last DSE during the WSOP (that was obv an off day from NL at the WSOP last summer) and it drew 223 on a friday. i dunno what else was at the WSOP that weekend, so it might have been more people not wanting to miss a 1.5k or 1k on saturday at the wsop than anything. a 10k on a friday even with the 1.5k and 1k at the wsop might draw pretty decent.

the 5k main had 374, but they run satellites to that a ton and obv the main will draw better than a prelim big buyin (in general).

Stein · 03-04-2012, 10:19 PM

With no feeder sats, I just don't see the $10k getting to 300 runners. Anyone that only has one $10k buy in to lay on the table will obv choose the WSOP main. Kind of surprised the V didn't build in some satellites for this, but being that it is labeled a
"high roller" event, that is probably the answer to the question. I think it may be a real stretch to see it hit 250.
