5: 100-200 25 ante
6: 150-300 25
7: 200-400 25
8: 300-600 50
9: 400-800 50
10: 500-1000 100
11: 600-1200 100
12: 800-1600 200
13: 1000-2000 300
14: 1200-2400 300
15: 1500-3000 400
16: 2000-4000 500
17: 2500-5000 500
18: 3000-6000 500
19: 4000-8000 1000
20: 5000-10000 1000
21: 6000-12000 2000
22: 8000-16000 2000
23: 10000-20000 3000
24: 15000-30000 4000
25: 20000-40000 5000
26: 25000-50000 5000

and that is 13 hours into play with half hour levels

The Main event is a 25000 chips two day mega stack rumble. Satellites :

Fri. 12/31/10 @ 7:30 pm - $40 w/rebuys, Sat.1/1/11@ 7:30 pm - $45 no rebuy

Thurs. 1/6/11 @ 7:30 pm - $45 w 1 rebuy, sat.1/8/11@11:30 am - $45 no rebuy

any idea of expected field sizes?

nvm. found that it looks like 120 or so for each last month

Might have to actually make my lazy ass drive more than 7 miles to come out for one of these

How many levels do they play on Day 1, and when does Day 2 start?

Will probably play down to 2 tables depending on number of runners But there was a posted blind level last time. We bagged chips 3 out of money last time cause 2 didnt want to play on at 2 tables past stated time.I will check with Peter monday and get back or maybe RiverRat can post. Thanks for the interst hope to see you this weekend. {was over 125 }last time.

By the way meadows had a 5/5 pot limit omaha game sat. nite for those with interest.

Posted where? This tournament is still not advertised on the Meadows website and so it's a bit confusing....

I wish they were doing this on MLK weekend. I'd love to have a long-weekend worth of play...

I wonder why they didn't? Is the room going to be full anyway? If not I'd suggest holiday weekends would be the time to do it up and attract new folks to the room...

I suspect the reason for non holiday is the casino and poker room employee,s have family so there is alot of vacation request. As far as the non posting all updating of Meadows cite must come from vegas parent headquarters so its very slow . the schedule is posted earlier on meadows room thread by river rat who also works there. you can find info on the Division of poker .com web site also. We had many calls monday while I was working from Ohio people who are coming in,there should be a good turnout. Peter was gone monday when I got there but to answer gydon,s question I think day 2 will start at either 11 or 12 play 1st day should stop by midnight give or take call peter at poker room to get exact answer.

Great idea though. I wish other casinos would do those high-profile big weekends.

I'm just restarting my bankroll, anyone know what the structure for the $50 dollar King of the Donkey's "donkaments" is? I figure it might be similar to the donkament of last month but I couldn't find any info on that one either..? Not sure if "Donkament" is a description of what I should expect the structure to be(horrible?) or if it's just because it's so cheap there should/could be a ton of donks?

Those {Donkaments} are the usual midite madness tour fri and sat night blinds start low 25/50 no ante till 100/200 on the second time 25/50 50/100 100/200 then 100/200 with 25 ante. with dealer add on i think you get 12000 chips. we get 50 on a bad night 120 on a good for these so i would think for this weekend no less than 85 up to 150. And by the way we have regulars who play these who are quite good not all are bad by a longshot so donkaments isnt really the case. there just played like turbos.

Actually there are no antes in the tournament blinds start off 50/100 12min levels. Starting stack is 12000 with a 1500 dealer bonus for $5, best deal in town. It plays as a turbo but you don't loose your ante you can play patiently when you are out of the blinds.

Thanks for the info guys, sounds like a good deal, wish me luck!

Trying to get a 2/5 PLO or a 2/5 Holdem/PLO mix game tonight (thurs 1/6). A few announcements were made in the room, and word of mouth is going around about the game. Anyone interested should definitely come down or give the room a call to see whats up. Should be some ridiculous action.

Friday night's $150 bounty tournament had 140 players, pretty soft players at almost every table. All of the cash game action was pretty sick, even in the bigger games. 14 tourn tables, 2 2/4 limit games, 7 1/2 NL games, 1 2/5 NL table, 1 2/5/10 NL, and a big 5/5/10 PLO-5/5/10/20NL mix game. Tomm is the main event $330 buy in, should be a big turn out, and the cash games should be just as good if not better.

I echo daburgh post the plo game was off the hook sick some pots over 2000 with regularity. expect 150 plus for main event will be capped at 200. next sun the 16th pa 1st wosp sat seat tour. 130 pm 125.00 buy in

Nicely run main event overall. Good structure (and, no, I don't just say that when I FT).

How many did they get for the main event?

BADUU,
I believe the main event drew 119 entrants.
FYI, the WSOP qualifier is capped at 200 entries, and registration opened up Saturday night at midnight.
