2013 Caesars Palace Winter Poker Classic: 1/4-1/17
 

Schedule

Usual assortment of low buy-in events, a total of $250,000 in guaranteed prize pools.

The one event people might have more interest in is the $240 NBC National Heads-Up Championship Qualifier event, where the winner gets a seat for the return of that made-for-TV tournament.

Edit: The NBC HU qualifier was removed from the schedule.

Surprised how far down the forum I had to look to find this thread. Not much interest in this series, huh?

I played several events in January of '11 and had a pretty good time. The structure may have changed since then, but I recall it being pretty good other than one instance around the dinner break where it seemed that a blind level was skipped.

The fields were pretty good then too, with 200+ in the full ring NLHE events. If I remember correctly, that's right around the time the re-entry phenomenon was starting.

Does anyone have any thoughts on these tournaments?

Hey Kevmath, what day is that NBC heads up qualifier? I dont see it listed.

...or any of the events

Yeah I don't see it, either. I'm guessing it was maybe taken off the schedule?

Just called the poker room:

They don't have a qualifier running as of now "maybe we'll get one running in a couple weeks or so" (hehe)

He said min 100 max 200, was his best guess. No gtd prize pool.

LD, when I looked at WSOP.com earlier this week, there was a banner telling NV residents to watch NBC News to win a seat for the NBC HU. Maybe they'll do something through their free.wsop.com software?

Edit: That no longer appears on the WSOP.com site, maybe to return shortly?
