Not sure I like the entire schedule.......... Maybe play a few prelims and satty into the main. I'll wait for Borgata in Sept to play more. In need of a nice cash........

Can someone please explain how the payouts work in the survivor tournament ?

It says one in ten win $2000. But how are they picked ? I assume it is different than a traditional tournament ??

lol, it's the equivalent of a satellite to a $2k event

yeah say 67 people sign up.

67 * $200 = $13,400

13,400 * .03 (staff fee) = $402

$12,989 in the prize pool.

6 players get $2K and the 7th place guy (final elimination cause the tourney is over at 6 left) gets the remainder $989

Does anyone know the structure of the $175 mega satellite to the main event?

Click the link in post 15.

Then click "details" next to the tourney you have ?'s on. Each structure is provided

Is this the first time Parx had a big series like this? I couldn't find similar tourneys. I'm trying to figure out how many people will show up for the $300 re-entry tourney. Are we talking 100 people of 300+ people??

Also, what hotels do you guys recommend. If I don't make it to day 2 of the $300 re-entry can you cancel? Are the hotels in close proximity to the casino?

Hotels are listed on the right side of the page.

This is going to be the biggest poker series Parx has had. They had a smaller series last summer and a few months ago with the same kind of buyin's that they called WPT regionals. They got like 200-400 for most of those prelims. The Main last summer was a $1500 or 2k buyin. If I remember correctly it got like 100 runners. McLean Karr won it I believe. The DeepStacks crew showed up. Other East Coast & AC area Pros. The poker room is nice and Parx is trying to go a good job with these events. It's not Borgata, but they continue to get better. I look for better things from them in the future.

To answer your question about the sat $300 re-entry........ it's going to get a minimum of 400 runners. With re-buys, your looking at prob 600-700 entries.......... Should be like 50-60k for 1st. If they get 700ish..............

I don't know about that. They had the same event in April $300 w/rebuys and the prizepool was only $52K with 180 entries. I think your estimates are waaaaaay off. It seems there are a lot of hotels in the area. Do they sell out? Should I just wait to book a hotel if I make it to day 2 that way I don't have to deal with cancellation fees. I think I saw like 10 hotels within a 5 mile radius

Well, that event in April was just a regional and the WSOP circuit Chester was going on which took away a lot of players who needed WSOP points. So, add 100 players to that total at least............Plus, April's event was just a WPT regional event that wasn't really talked about or advertised. This time it's a full blown WPT series with a TV Main event with Mike Sexton, Vince, Tony "Bond18" D and the Royal flush girls..........

Last summers........... event #1 got 479 runners............ You decide.........

Oh I didn't realize that about the conflict with Chester and I didn't see results for last summer. Thanks. I guess you aren't that far off then with your estimate. Regarding hotels, do they all sell out? Should I book a room and just eat the cancellation fee if I bust out early? Or just book the room if I make it to day #2? I see there are a lot of hotels in the area.

The hotel situation .hhhmmmmmmm, not sure. I live within 40 minutes, so I never had to try the hotels in the area. I would think you should be good. Can't imagine they being sold out. It's not AC during the summer with a HUGE Borgata event. Enjoy and GLGL
