Sorry to hear that. Started to go by there but played Sam's Town instead. I guess it will be Canada or Indian casinos that are basically unregulated like online casinos.

Well this sux! I know they were close to working it out. I'll still show up on the 22nd and play the WPO that weekend... I've yet to see the WPO posted on PokerPages so I doubt it will be a big turnout... They do not know how to promote a poker tourney...

Go Redsox!

They know how, they have done a good job in the past but lately they have dropped the ball. The last tourneys they had a poor turn out because of little promotion, if they don't advertise people won't know about it and the turn out will be poor. It is a shame since Kenny and Chris know it as well as we do but it seems they don't care.

Re: NAPT coming to Tunica?

This is just getting freaking ridiculous now. So are they or are they not having a large multi-event poker tournament at the Strike or not? Every time I've called I've gotten different info, different dates, different room rates and on and on. I am a HUGE Tunica fan and a huge fan of the Gold Strike and the Horseshoe but the GS has got to get their act together. I know this is probably all out of the hands of the poker room managers but upper management or whoever is in charge of this has really dropped the ball.

The Hendon Mob is listing the tourney schedule of events and dates, yet the GS website, nor anywhere else online seems to confirm this. We are less than 45 days out from the dates they list and still we can't get a good confirmation on anything.

I guess I'm just frustrated because the WPO was a super event and the cash games were awesome. My buddies and I had talked this thing up big at our poker game and we had 4-6 guys lined up and ready to make the 7+ hour trip this summer. Now I can't even book rooms because we don't want to show up and there not even be a tourney going on!

Re: NAPT coming to Tunica?

Yes as I said above I was told by the poker room office staff that the event will now be the WPO, for sure! The structure should be the same as indicated on the Hendon Mob website.

Matt, is it possible to get the structure and event sheets posted here?

I sent the structure sheet out for the 1st Saturday $500 buy-in. I think KevM was going to post it somewhere on Google...

After all this I may not even be able to go now...

Glad to see Omaha Hi-Lo back on a Tunica schedule. Too bad it's on the day of my granddaughters birthday party.

Re: NAPT coming to Tunica?

Ok, so the dates the Hendon Mob lists are correct? If so, I'll talk to my group and see if we can get a trip together.

Not sure that Hendon Mob sheet is correct. I was told by the poker room that the main event ends on Tuesday, Aug. 3 instead of Wednesday, Aug. 4.
