Wow. That's awesome. I'm not really in the Local Tourney scene, but that sure sounds like a great turnout. Were they trying to seat everyone for a shotgun start, or were they refilling as people dropped? Tables are one thing, but finding 18 or 19 dealers is yet another.
Reminds me of the days just several years ago where the lines for the G'town tournies would be pretty freaking deep.
Big Beaver Tavern has been getting 60-70 regularly for their $30 Wednesday Night NL Tournaments. That is 60-70 on Wednesdays.
