I would say so ... Firekeepers was rocking over the weekend.
1) I was told that they had 3 PLO tables going Thursday night, one went to 4 AM.
2) Although the dealers said it was a bit light on the waiting lists, we had PLO and 1/2 going all night Friday into my Saturday morning break at 400 .. not sure if a 2/5 game got going.
3) Waiting lists were overflowing Saturday after 100 in anticipation for the drawings. We had a 2/5 game going by 300 and PLO at 500 after they called in a dealer to cover the game.
A 5/10 PLO game broke out around 1200 as well. The 2/5 game went all night into Sunday morning.
I have no information on the $400 tournament since I went home at 900 AM from the all night session of 2/5 and PLO.
I was told that PLO happens on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday but with the increased interest it could happen on other nights as well with Friday the most likely other candidate.
It was a little stressful on the dealers Saturday since the Noon tournament had quite a few more than normal and cash lists were blitzed through 200 AM, but hopefully they were taken care of by the players. I did a little more than normal even though I go my clocked cleaned a bit due to some bad play and bad timing on other hands. Had a blast though as I wanted to see if I could actually pull a 'major' weekend. Played from 4pm Fri to 4am Sat and 11am Sat to 9am Sun morning. That is a bunch for me!!
Largest pot I saw at one of my tables was a $3K 1/3 PLO pot that was scooped by the 'behind' player after running 2 Rivers. And I was told there was an $11K 5/10 PLO pot that was won with 2 pair (9s and 5s) ... really!!
Pretty much all of the players were very respectful of the room, dealers and 'questionable' play that happens from time to time. Only issue that came up was the PLO players had also signed up for the 2/5 game and didn't really want to play 2/5 NLHE only. One player at the table objected to RxR and there was a little heat applied until the 5pm dealer showed up and there were enough players on the 2/5 list to fill in the 'now' vacant seats. GL
