Playing the first event ... 262k at dinner break ... Sucked out on a 180K 3-way pot with AK against KK and QQ... Flopped an Ace, obv. Extremely well run tourney so far, but is that ever a surprise from Tab (and Stan) ? especially like it due to doom switch turned off for day 1, as requested, when I booked a room

Can you just give us a quick idea of how the prelims have been tracking relative to last year? The 1k prelim to last year's Spring Open got 206 runners, which I'm pretty sure is the lowest turnout of the four big series you host, for the 1k prelim at least. If this year has been tracking below last year, and the 1k ends up with like 150 guys, not sure it's all that compelling to drive down for. So any color on this, or projection of how many you'd expect for the 1k would be helpful. I know for the Fall or Winter opens, the same 1k prelim usually gets 300-450, which is what I would have hoped for obv this weekend...

Also is there late registration for this event? Also it says starts at 12pm on main schedule, but when you click on "details" it says it starts at 11am. Which is it?

Thanks Tab. You are my hero

I think 400-500 is easily reachable and could be more considering its a saturday and its relatively a DS tourny. There is late registration and it starts at 12pm.

I've played in a few of these Big/Deep stack tournaments, so here is my theory. It's on a Saturday so players don't have to take a day off, it's only $400 and it's has more chips and extended blinds. People love these tournaments. The Borgata does not need to guarantee 100K for this one because it should draw more than 400 players

u r spot on.. $400.. Saturday.. DS.. what else u need ? I am going to say 600+

SteveKelly.......get me $1000 tomorrow and i'll transfer you $1002 on Full tilt. We'll consider the vig to be .002% on this transaction which is more than fair.

Will the survivor take place tomorrow, considering all the tables that will be taken up by the two main event tourneys that are schduled? I'd hate to drive down 2 hours and find out the survivor is cancelled.
