The Arena Poker Room at Casino Arizona's Talking Stick Resort (Scottsdale, AZ) -- FAQ in OP - Page 134 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Why the **** would Hellmuth tweet about it 2 weeks before if he wasn't being paid to promote it?

He would rather tweet about hanging out with Jay Z and Michael Phelps.

This.

Hellmuth definitively getting paid to show/MC. Next to Ivey and Daniel I'd say Hellmuth the most recognizable/known poker player to the main stream public.

Id bet he's getting at least 20/25K. Said he's coming Friday. That's 5 days to see the event thru. About 4K/5K a day.

I think those were good suggestions, but I am still curious as to who is really "in charge" now. Do you even know, as an employee?

Anyone know if sold seats for the 1K tourney will be pulled as no shows at some level, like they should be? A couple at one of my tables last year were 8 hour no shows, table finally got split up.

No
The state would approve it before it would be considered being spread.
( id take the wont happen side, to slim of a player base here)

There is a chain of command, that is all i can tell you right now.
It starts with a shift manager.

I've played a couple and think they got 250 and 280.

Anyone know how much the "dealer appreciation" chips are for the warm up tourneys?

I projected them all at $10 but don't think that's right... Assuming they do them... Doesn't list that on the site anywhere and I didn't even see a sheet on them last time I was there

Actually would be great if someone can confirm with any of the floor or TDs and post in here when you find out about that. A little voice in my head is thinking maybe they don't do dealer appreciations fr them at all, but the logical side of me says that would not make any sense (standard type of conversation myself has with myself)

@unta8 We are offering a $10 dealer appreciation, which is worth $2,500 in additional tournament chips.

I'm coming into town for the Championship and am thinking about staying the week after to play cash games. Can anyone give me an idea of the type of traffic I can expect to see in the 2/5 and 5/10 equivalent during on weekdays?

3/5 1-3 tables daily.

5/10 you'll be lucky to get one game a week outside of championship traffic (which should be dead after Monday)

unless they ran out and never restocked in the last week, there is a sheet for the warm up tourneys with buy-ins and structure on it near the podium with all the other flyers

They're still there but, are going to be under attended. Only one of my friends knew about them. @pope, I know, I know, I only have 2 friends.
