And what would happen if you couldn't sell the chips?

You can keep the chips until our next event.

headed out there now. Can't wait!

Johnny, can you explain the reentries? They are just rebuys right (rebuys is a confusing term as it usually means you can only buy back in after you've lost all your chips, at least as I understand it)? Theres no difference between the daily 5pm and the mega rebuys, correct?

Any updates on this (struc for 1500) Johnny?

Johnny,

just arrived and have a couple questions for you.
1) There are no tables available for single table satellites. Can't you guys find some tables somewhere. Looks like there is space to put some more tables up.

2) Why no Tv monitor for cash game waiting list? It would make things a little easier for your customers.

Thanks

how many runners were in event 1

Is there a blog somewhere we can follow?

Sorry for the late response. Re-entries are the same as rebuys. Our gaming commission prefers that we use the term "re-entries". The daily Megasatellite, the 4PM and the 8PM on September all have the same structure.

The space that looks available has infrastructure/surveillance issues. The other 1/3 of the ballroom that we normally use was booked for conventions, and wasn't available. We have the tables, just no usable space.

The TV monitors for cash games are available downstairs inside the poker room. I am requesting 2 monitors for the outside of the poker room, as well as another for the Magnolia Ballroom for the upcoming event in January.

We had 266 runners for event 1, 456 for event 2, 78 for the 340 Omaha 8, 49 for the PLO Re-entry, and 308 entries for event 3.

We do not have a blog, but are twittering regularly with results, schedules, etc. follow @beaupoker.

Results for every event that has concluded have been sent to cardplayer, pokerpages, bluff, hendon mob, etc. They should be posted sometime this afternoon.

Sorry about taking so long with this. The rules (including level times, starting chips, etc. )will be included in this post. Go to the posted link in this page for blind structures, and the actual blind levels will be the same as the 300 and 500 no limit events (just longer level times).

By the time you get this post, the structures for those events may already be in the link. I am on the phone with IT right now trying to get it posted

Hey Guys,
Updated link finally contains the structures for the 1K and 1500NL. go to the link below and look at the bottom of the page:

Johnny,

Can you please clarify if my understanding of the Mega Sat buyin below is correct?

Sat Sep 3 - 4pm and 8pm MEGAs

At the start of the tournament (before 1st hand has been dealt)
$200 - 3K chips;
$100 reentry - 3K chips; (optional)
$10 staff appreciation - 1K chips; (optional)

So, $310 gets you 7K chips to start.

If ever you drop below 3K in the first three levels, then you can reenter(rebuy) for $100 = 3K or $200 = 6K chips (if you bust)

At the first break, irrespective of your stack, you can
$100 = 1 addon = +3K chips
$200 = 2 addons = +6K chips.

We have attempted to use a different type of structure, similar to what players see on the WSOP Circuit. For our 456 player $340 NL on Saturday, we played from noon to 2AM. We hit the money at 1AM, and finished at 2AM. Play resumed the following day at 2PM with 32 players remaining. The tournament ended at 1:15AM.

Our new structures are providing a TON of play in the money stages of the tournament!

Johnny,
Thanks for this. Just called Donna and she was saying that rooms at the poker rate have been sold out for 2 weeks? (The hotel quoted me a rack rate of $400 per night for 9/3 and 9/4. ) Anyway you can help?

You have it exactly right

I can't help there... we booked our block full for those nights pretty quick. We have 200 rooms filled. That is labor day weekend, and we also have an IBF Welterweight title fight on 9-3-11. We will be slammed. Call the office again tomorrow and ask to leave me a voice mail....

Johnny,

Will you be providing receipts for rebuys? Potential investors want to know.

Thanks.

-Andy

I didn't get a receipt for a rebuy in the PLO but didn't ask either...

We will give receipts. Just ask a floor supervisor at the end of the re-entry period.

By popular demand, we have made some changes:

All levels in the 1,000NL and 1,500 NL will be 50 minutes. The final table levels will be 60 minutes


IN addition, we added the 250-500 level and the 500-1000 level to the Main event.

Bump. To be sure that the 1K and 1500 structure updates were seen.

Johnny,
Called back as you suggested and Donna found a room for both nights. Thank you! Appreciate it.
