Johnny (TD),

Maybe this was asked/answered before, but can you please answer the below:

#1. I cant find the $1500 event on Fri 09/02 on the cardplayer listing http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-tour...r-championship) but it is present in your casino listing (http://www.beaurivage.com/files/2011...ampionship.pdf) Is it because its not one of the designated "events". If so, kinda surprised why the noon $200 would be an "event", but the 2p $1500 would not? Anyways, can you please confirm the $1500 is in fact confirmed for Fri 09/02?

#2. I cant find the structure for this $1500 event in the structure sheet. http://beaurivage.com/files/GCPC-11/...ampionship.pdf


Looking at the schedule, I find that your rake is amongst the lowest that I've seen and structure for the ME and even the "turbos" are very good. Nice work

Thanks!

This link has the confirmed schedule. I will post structures for 1k and 1500. Thought they were included on the bundle already posted. http://beaurivage.com/files/2011-gul...ampionship.pdf

Thanks for the comments on the structures. With increasing competition, we have to make changes that benefit the players. We also offer a full buffet or $12 off coupon for various outlets for every tournament entry with a buy in of over $300. Our comp policy also includes the same comp for 4 hours of live play, as well as 2 nightly events or megasatellites. Put plainly, we just want players to come here and have a good time, and we will make sure it happens.

To get the poker rate, call 228 386 7254 and ask for Donna. If no one answers, we are probably on the phone making reservations. Make sure you leave a voice mail, and we'll call you back.

Johnny I just wish every casino took care of their players just half as good as you and Eric do.

We also have an American Cancer Society Charity tournament, as well as a Silent Auction. At the silent auction in Tunica, we had 2 sets of dugout level Braves tickets and a parking pass (I got a pair for Sept 16 Braves vs. Mets game). We had several pairs of ray Bans, Oakley, etc. Some cool artwork, and should have lots more cool stuff at the Beau. Vanessa Rousso will be hosting the event, and hosting a boot camp earlier on the same day.

Thanks, Tex!

As long as we keep doing that, and providing a good quality tournament, we feel like people will keep coming.... I hope we are right....

Since this yrs main is a $3000 buyin how many runners you guys think?
About 150ish maybe 200 max?
My guess is between 150 and 200. AT Gold Strke, we had the same earlier this month and drew 149. We will have 10 qualified from property promotions before the event starts.

Good IDEA!!!! LOL

On Tuesday August 30th at 4PM, we have a $200 + $30 PLO/NL tourney

For the January event, we may try some small "other" games. At Gold Strike in December, we are having a NL Single draw 2-7 tourney. I can't wait to see how that works. Last time I was involved in a single draw deuce tourney was the 10K at 2005WSOP..... A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

Does the one tournament each day include the Single Table Satellites?

No. That would be suicide. People would beat us senseless by playing a $45 STS and getting a full seafood buffet on a Saturday night. That buffet costs $25 in cash.

haha....I didn't see that. I think I'll be playing that!

I also want to echo the comments earlier about how you and your team treat players there. Its an absolute pleasure to make the trip from Atlanta to play in your room and I will continue to do it frequently.

Haven't gotten an answer or call back from Donna for the past 2 days, but was able to book the poker rate by using the main hotel reservation line.

Call 888-567-6667 and give them your players card number and they will set you up.

Registration ends at the end of level 2. Levels are 70 minutes, so the event closes at approx 2:20PM.

Just reread this and checked the schedule. What I was requesting was non-holdem events during the weekend of the main event. Tuesday doesn't really help. Just a request for next time.

Johnny,
When can we expect the structures for the 1500. Need to plan my travel based on that, so would appreciate if you could put it at the earliest possible.

Thanks!

$485 to the prize pool, $15 to staff and dealers, $100 bounty, and $60 for the house

I would expect between 80-120
