I played this weekend. They had around 2-4 tables of 20/40 hold’em going Saturday and Sunday nights. 3-4 of 20/40 Omaha those night as well. I don’t play the 20/40 hold’em so cant really speak to the action, but it looked good the few times I glanced at the tables.
If you play Omaha, they added a half kill this year (triggers when the pot is 10BB plus). Last year it was just straight 20/40 with no kill, so I’m guessing this is a bit of deference to the old 20/40 half kill Omaha game that recently died at Port Perry. (May it Rest In Peace.)
The action on Omaha is great as always, especially if you get to what I like to call “the feature table.” Last night’s feature table featured a kill pot that was double straddled and capped 7 ways at $150/player, already $1,050 in the pot before any cards were out. Flop and turn were both capped 6 ways. River gets checked through building a $3,200 final pot. A second nut straight that was made on the turn won it. Gotta love the CNE.
