Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open SHR Hollywood - July 30 - August 19 ($5,000,000 GTD ME) - Page 5 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

Structure Sheet states Paychart A...William can you post pay chart A us? I busted two hours ago and staff has been fine with no major problems. I will be buying back in tomorrow. Only thing I saw was earlier today floor was at the podium talking to another floor for a while when we had two seats open. After about 25 minutes he picked up the seating passes.

Please stop by the tournament desk and they can help you with a copy of the pay chart for the May Deep Stack Series. I will try to have it posted later today. Thanks for the feedback.

Today's deep stack started with 1000 blinds 25-50 50000 stack.

The upcoming 5k $5m championship starts with 200 blinds and has an ante. 75-150 25 with 30k stacks.

The accepted standard for these bigger buyin events has been to start with 300 blinds and no antes 50-100 with 30k stacks.

Just add an hour to each day and have all the levels.

Please consider this William.

Keep in mind they also need to appeal to amateurs who don't want to play super long days, and they will be long enough as is.

At first I was upset about the idea of multiple ft on same day but actually makes heaps of sense when scheduled properly and probably seriously saves the casino so much overhead in TV production crew costs. Having them even just provide live stream online takes lots of manpower and money. Having it all fall on one single day limits their expense thereby lowering need for higher rake (in theory should lower rake being better for everyone etc) and yeah like the idea of shorter scheduled events following.

I was almost 100% going to appt Manila before Barcelona this year, but strongly considering this instead.

+1. A 5k buy in is a whole lot of money to a large part of the field. Starting with 200 bbs and an ante is a bit much. That's a lot of variance early. Ideally it would go:
50/100
75/150
75/150 25

Like chainsaw said this could be accomplished by just adding an hour each day.

Hard rock clientele which includes a lot of recreational and amateur players, definitely wouldn't want less play in a $5k than they just got in a similar stacked $3500.

William please be reasonable. Theres no reentry in the main so no reason to rush players thru a $5k by skipping the first two levels.

Ive had people message me thru twitter and Facebook to plead their case for adding those levels back.

Just add one level to each day and cut the dinner to an hour. Players will overwhelmingly approve.

They can just add an hour to two of the days. It will finish in time regardless with 30k stacks.

Players are already playing 12 hour day 1s Allen, why do you think it needs to be more than that? These recreational players you try to be the fake advocate for also get delirious at the end of the night

Dinner break is 75 not 90. Important to the venue how? I find it highly unlikely that anyone from HR is asking Bill or Matt to ensure lengthy dinner breaks to drive up F&B business. With how accessible food options are at HR anything over 60 min is too long IMO.

Also, just want to give you guys kudos for always trying to change things up. Trying new things doesn't always work 100% but it advances us farther down the path of innovating better ways. Really like this whole concept and am interested to see how it pans out. Keep it up!
