Congrats mate. I haven’t played the tournament, maybe next year. This week will be interesting with the tournament being upstairs for the first time. Will be quite busy with both the tournament and cash tables running.

Thanks!!
I just wonder there are enough tables for both cash and tournament next week.

For foreigners, does the regular break applies?

Is the casino and poker room running 24/7?

A rare concession from Crown. The rake on 10/20 and 25/50 NLH and PLO has been reduced from 10% capped at $50 to 10% capped at $30.

Wasn't the earlier $10 cap already the highest in the world? The current rake is just legalized theft! I see them ripping $25 out of 2/5 pots and think the dealers should all be wearing stocking masks over their heads. Shame Crown shame!

There were 83 players at last Sunday tournament.
The 10th money seems around 1000 dollars.
The first place around 10000 dollars.

Last Sunday tournament had 120ish entries with about $14k up top.

I wish I knew it at the time because got there a bit later but need your members card and you need to buyin with casino chips for it.

Going back 15+ years, you have always needed a Crown card to register for tournaments,

But these days you need a card to play anything, so the queue to sign up for a card can be long. On NYE, I’d say people were waiting at least an hour.

Oh really, I’ve never really played at Crown so was unsure how it all worked.

Few players told me the Wednesday Turbo gets about 250 entries each week which I thought was pretty crazy.
