Damn guys, there is a really great tournament tomorrow morning at Tulalip and I only found out about it now as I just so happen to check around and see if there were any tournaments coming up in the Seattle area. It's a "Mega super stack" they are giving 40k in chips! (30 min rounds) $550 buy in. So sick because I would snap play this and that size stack is unheard of for this area, or any area really. I'm going to need to do a better job of checking around but I am subscribed to this thread and no one here mentioned it either
This is why I'm posting, I'm gonna tell of a tournament I did hear of and hopefully it will help someone like me who is kind of out of the loop and gets the majority of his info from 2+2.
I just got off the phone with a TD at Tulalip and found out about an even bigger tournament at the end of March. I'm currently looking for in-print info but I don't see any on their site yet besides the mention of it. The TD did say it's going to be in CardPlayer though. This is called the "Pro Challenge No Limit Hold'em Tournament" and it's a 1k (plus entry fee, which I'm sorry I forgot how much he said the juice is) with 15k in chips and 40 min rounds. The "final" day has 60 min rounds.
It's a 4 day event, 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th. Now, the way this works is the first 3 days are all "day 1's" and the 27th is the "final day". They are allowing for a re-entry if you bust a day one and there's a day one left to play, so essentially, you can have up to 3 chances at this tournament. Each day 1 takes up to 250 players. The theme being a "pro challenge" they said there's going to be a bunch of "pro's". He specifically mentioned guys like the grinder are coming (Michael Mizrachi) and I get the feeling Tulalip's bringing in these guys.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this and hoping to find some more info and if anyone see's or hears anything please PM me, it would be appreciated.
