Last Year had 1k+ total entries with over 200k to 1st place...

Looks a lot better then it used to be, but this is not the right place. Ask mods to move to Mttc-Live.

Why do 2nd and 3rd place get trophies? Typical american bull**** everyone is special and everyone is a winner.

1M gtd but its based on 975 entries?

Overlay m8. I played it a couple years ago when casino az was doing it and it had 1M gauranteed as long as 900 people played.

umad getty?

So it's 974k prize pool if 974 play?

Think so!

Can't wait, CBorders told me that there are prelims too, a 300, 500, and 1k I believe.

i wasn't going to say anything because the first rule of fight club, etc. but yeah theres a 130, 235, 350 and 550 running the days before the main

Yes these are the events that are replacing the random monthly super satelite's that CAZ used to have!

Thanks will do... Mis-Click!

I lol every year at this "guarantee"

silliest "gtd" ever...why not just shoot the moon and say "5 million gtd" *based on 5000 players...fkn clowns....

The word GTD is a joke but no matter how its advertised if they get the 1k entries like the last 2 years then it will have a 1mil prize pool which is as big as any other state tournament that I know of...

Single Table satellites seemed to be going strong this weekend... they have two options with paying top 1 or paying top 2....
