niiiiiiice... now we're just waiting on PH

Be carefull, i noticed some inconsistencies between the schedule (pages 1->4) and the table below (page 5) on the number of chips announced on events 26, 59, 77, 83 and 84.

I spoke to TD Tommy. He will be fixing any discrepancies within the next few days.

As an O8 & PLO player, I like how they fit their tourneys around those of WSOP. Well done!

I wish they had found a way to put the mixed PLO earlier in their schedule, but can't complain overall.

I asked tommy to at least add 1 500 or 1k horse event.

According to Tommy, the schedule has been fixed to address the chip count issues brought up in an earlier post.

poker room rate code?

Its at the bottom of the schedule...

$39 resort fees? pretty steep..

How come events like this never have heads up tournaments or shootouts?

so with the code do you still have to bring your poker receipts to poker room to get rate adjusted or does it do it automatically?

You can reach Tommy directly in email at Thomas.Larosa@sands.com or on Twitter... @VenetianTD.

If I had to guess, I'd say HU tourneys are too expensive to run. I mean, even if you played two matches per table, you're talking about taking up a whole table and 2 dealers for just 4 players. Not at all cost-effective, especially when you can fill those tables with cash or MTT entries.

Shootouts are a different matter, but I imagine its to hard to know how many entries you might get. TDs have to plan for efficient use of their space and the field sizes for shootouts are probably hard to predict.

If you use the code, then you don't have to have them adjust your rate before you leave. The code gets you the quoted rate for your entire stay. Just verify your dates because some dates are at a higher rate according to the fact sheet posted on the last page of the schedule.

I think I am going to play the event on Tuesday at Noon March 14

I'm sure I am just overlooking it. Does the schedule have the dates of satellites into the larger events; specifically the $1100 starting June 5.

There aren't any satellites into the MSPT event. I think all satellites should be on the schedule.

when can we expect structure sheets ?

Chip counts and level lengths are in the schedule. Fees are at the bottom of the schedule. I assume structures will be the same as last year which you can see at

https://www.venetian.com/casino/poke...-iii-2016.html

but you can confirm with Tommy in email at Thomas.Larosa@sands.com or on Twitter... @VenetianTD

Does anyone know if the mega satellites ($1100 in to the 10k in particular) are must play seats or if they pay out lammers? Thanks.

Not 100% sure for the summer Deepstack series but it's usually a "must play"

Looks like the late-series 1100 is scheduled/structured a little different compared to last year. Definitely seems to be more rec-friendly with a Saturday starting flight and day 2 on Sunday. Hopefully these changes push the prize pool closer to $2 Million like its been in the past.
