I'm heading to vegas for the first time on June 14 for a few days and looking at playing one of these 235s. I have a couple questions:

-I can play Sat, Sun or Mon. What is the best day to play? I get in on the sat, so would prefer not to play then, but if it's significantly juicier, I might.
-Do these tourneys have a cap? if so how often is it reached? should I phone in my entry, or can I show up in person the day before or even day of?
-(maybe no one can answer this) I'm Canadian, if I win more than $5k I expect withholding. Does anyone know the forms offhand I should be bringing/filling out?

Thanks

I've been playing these $235 nearly everyday, w/ some success.

The fields have been HUGE. After breaking records on Sun, than again on Monday, yesterday (Tuesday) we about 1,500 players. I played until 12:30am and cashed $600 for 80th. Today, Wednesday, I just busted out with a flopped cooler hand, K high flush vs. A high flush...over 1,100 when I busted out right the 4th level rebuy cut- off. Final table play has been going until 4-6am, and almost always chops 3-5 way, but of course the players dictate if/when a chop happens.

If you like tournament play, this is the BEST value in town! No place in the world are you going to have 1,200-1.600 players in a $235 event. I'd play them everyday you're here and not playing a braclet event. No cap..they're marketing and promoting these daily's, starting last year, after the Ventian was trying to ride on the coat tails of the WSOP and draw players away from the RIO w/ there little daily's.

You can only register in person, in the Pavilion room, or at the main tourney buyin cage. Generally the lines are long in the Pavilion w/ only 2 windows at the cage, the main registration cage has like 8 windows and goes much faster.

Not sure about tax withholdings for Canadian, buts LOTS of international players. You'll need an I.D. with you're address on it, drivers license, and a Total Rewards players card....which they make for you on the spot in about 5 minutes -no charge. Have fun!

Sounds great, I'm pumped! I'm going with my wife and sister and brother-in-law, so I'll only be grinding the one day unfortunately. Good to know there are rebuys up to level 4. That's 2 hours right? Can you only rebuy when you bust? Or can you reload at any stack size? Are there addons?

I'll be staying at Caesars - I think I read there is a shuttle across the street? Do you know if it runs often?

Shuttle runs every 15 mins.

No rebuys its a re-entry, so pay rake and starting stack at a new table. I think you can re enter through the break as well.

sounds good thanks

I played Monday . Ended up paperwork and cashing around @ 1 to 1:30.

You can surrender your stack at the end of level 4 and re-enter if you're short.

do you guys think the action will still be going strong with these dailys by next week and weekend? I might head out...

Last year it seemed the numbers were the best in the 2nd week of June. I am going out on Sunday and playing the Monday $235. Hoping it is even close to what they got this week.

I plan to play the $235 Rio as well on Monday, probably after a morning round of golf possibly

So where is the main WSOP cage in the casino that you can sign up for the deep stack? The poeple in the poker room are incompetent all the said when I asked is "duuuuuuuuuuh, they don't know and they told us just to point every body to the convention center. So now I am in a quarter mile line.

Look for total rewards. Main cage is around the corner behind it.

Directly across from the Amazon room.

Damn, passed right by the total rewards cage.
Must have missed it. Thanks for the response.

YES.......

These daily's are just blowing up. Setting records and then braking them the next day -on a Tuesday!

IMO these daily will continue to grow. Its a good value for the player in terms of rake/cost. Plus a fair tournament structure of 30 min levels, w/ balance of tournament starting chip amount vs. blind/ante levels.
They started marketing and promoting these events aggressively, now the word is out....nearly all of the low stakes tournament players I know agree these are the best deal in town. By the 2nd week of June it wouldn't be surprising to see the fields upwards of 2,000 players.

And, BTW, you can track these daily's live in real-time via the Bravo app, plus see previous results from the time/day before. Get on the Bravo site, then click on the WSOP live games, then click the button "display clock data" for current & past daily tourney results

awesome, thx a lot. I got Bravo already and have been drooling just from the cash game tables going in the near vicinity, but looking fwd to the dailys too and got some comps and really good rates for Rio and surrounding properties.

Think I heard there were a lot of break ins to rooms at the Rio tho recently, should I be concerned about staying there? Or did these peeps not even use the safe? Cya all next wk most likely and GL

Today's 3pm has been moved to 6pm due to the old farts tournament.

Will be playing a bunch of $235s in the upcoming weeks. I feel like a new record of most total entrants is just around the corner.

Yes sir...its happening right now

Todays event got pushed back till 6pm because the huge turn out for the seniors event, but still drew in 1,367 players.

I'm flying to Vegas tomorrow morning. Any sense whether I should expect the 3 pm to be delayed tomorrow, as well?
