Has anyone double qualified yet

http://chicagopokerclassic.wordpress.com/

says 5 double qualifiers so far

Hmm, there really could be an overlay then!

Just laid a dime at even money that they miss the gt by at least $15K

Looks like there will be about a $125k overlay. Whether it comes from the promo fund or the Horseshoe putting it in.

Anyone know how long they will play down to in each of the Day 1's of the $500 tomorrow and Sunday? ?? amounts of levels or down to 12% each day? Maybe missed it, but didn't see it on FB or the structure sheet. Speaking of structures, it's freakng horrible for the $500, but the guarantee makes it hard to pass up.

To DMILLS earlier queston about multiple qualifiers, there were 5 after the first six flights.

Missed it by 50,400.

500k guarantee this weekend.

Made a deep run in the last heat yesterday, and I have to say that having the Horseshoe floor running things instead of Charlie's crew definitely shows.

The biggest problem was the way they handled the money bubble. We were still playing 10 handed at the point (kinda annoying in its own right) and 45 paid. We were already at 49 when they the broke the 6th table, and they never stopped play to make sure those players were seated. The next 4 people busted pretty quickly, and so we didn't play hand-for-hand at all.

On top of that, during all this, their attitude was completely nonchalant. One guy is sitting there chit-chatting with people not even in the tournament. Another guy responded to my question of how many are left after the 6th table broke by snidely saying "It's only 5 tables, I think you can count them up." I would have hoped these guys would at least be busting their asses in an effort to prove they don't need Charlie and crew running things.

And one smaller thing that happened which sorta irked me. I was playing a hand earlier. I open shove from mid position with a short-ish stack. Cutoff calls. The button tanks but eventually calls. He has a very similar stack to mine, and I thought I had him slightly covered. The blinds take a second, but eventually fold. I look to the dealer who has only counted my stack, but not the button, and he's may no indication to anyone there is action pending. So I turn over my cards. Turns out the button had 800 more than me with stacks of about 15k. (as a side note, the cutoff called floor to try to have my hand killed before he called the 800, wtf dude?!).

Now, I did technically mess up, and I'll take a penalty if I have to. Personally I think it's impossible to angle in a situation where the only action remaining is a guy having to call 60:1 on his money, so it sort of defeats the spirit of the rule. Anyway, I suckout on the cutoff (which is my new favorite suckout of all time) and the button whiffs. So I triple up. The floor enforces a one round penalty. All this is fine so far. I talk to the floor away from the table to plead my case a bit. He tells me that he has a personal rule that if the rule breaker is the winner of the pot, he gets the penalty, if he is the loser and has chips, there is no penalty. While I understand he is trying to be fair to people who are probably in a crappy situation, a rule should be a rule. Either I broke it, or I didn't. Anyway, he was at least very nice about it, I just think that's kinda BS.

like 200 entrants so far in event 2 $500k gtd

someone is gonna get fired

did they take the payments for the 11 double qualifiers out of the prize pool?

Overlay on this one too. Could be $200k or more.

Anyone have a structure sheet on event #2?

Apologies if I missed it in this thread.

Didn't see anything on any structure or schedule sheet either. Will post when I know.

To DMILLS there ended up being 11 DQ's.

I think the changing the CPC from late feb to May def took its toll. The multiple day 1s often just confuse the rec players too.

All structures are posted on their Facebook page, Horseshoe Chicago Poker Room. Once there, click the CPC Structure link.

started with 15k and 40min levels i think everything else might be the same as event 1

Are there unlimited re-buys for the first 4 hours of the CPC Main Event this year?

Has the poker room significantly reduced the number of promotional seats given away for the CPC Main Event this year?

Anyone have the numbers of entries for day 1a of the 500k gtd?

Day 1a final entrants is 286. 35 advancing to day 2.

Event 2 is different. No stack advance or bonus for double bagging. Play to 12% and stop.

Early morning entries for Event 2 flight B - 49.
My o/u is 287 for the flight.

I'll pound the over on that until my ****ing face caves in. I'll give you even odds at 300, up to 1k if you want.

10 minutes before hand I walked right up and was entry 136 today. Someone's not gonna have a very good time. Will likely be adding > 200k
