I will be up there both weekends, but probably more for cash games. Also, the HORSE event.

Don't expect to see Scott there since he will be tuckered out from winning his main event bracelet at WSOP and then the OFC event on Jul 13. GL, Scott!

My plan is to show up for the $100 on Sat with at least a few re-entries in pocket.

I'm there Friday, 7/26 through that weekend. I'll be playing the noon events plus 5pm & 7pm as play {punting} dictates.

There's a chance I might vulture in with a single $100 bill 29 minutes into level 8 of event 4B and see how far I can get with blind shoving 10 bigs!

The biggest fish has just registered for events 4A, 4B, 12, 19, 24, 30, 34, 37,and 42. Hope to see some old friends and make some new ones plus make some money. I guess some like Stein, Black Aces, Gos, Longhorn, Texmo, and Mball among others will still be in Vegas so good luck to them and kinda of glad I don't have to go up against them.

I'm hoping we are going with the mid August cutover versus the 8/5 one so I can be here the entire time. I will surely see you at some point.

I was thinking about event 30, I see you are in it now, not so sure.

just booked rooms for the first and second weekends. VIP rate, it was free. If you play regularly up there and get mailers, they are still allowing free room reservations (up to 2 consecutive nights, once a week) even though the CPPT is going on. Finally getting a small perk for hammering the pits

So, this being said , I wanted to have a low buy-in tournament so anyone could play. Yet, at the same time I wanted a payout that was worth playing 18-30 hours for. So, this one tournament has a different than the normal payout. 5% of the field will be paid instead of the normal 10% of the field. I looked at it because of the very low buy-in and re-entries, A player may actually spend $400+. On the typical payout they might only receive a $250 payout. Does not make sense to me. Also first place will be lucrative. In my opinion the tournaments that allow re-entries should not have the same pay-outs % as tournaments without re-entries. I cannot see how players would like placing in the money and making less than their buy-ins. Therefore, I am trying this on "ONE" tournament to get feedback. Maybe its not the right concept, but I am trying it. I think overall it will be accepted.

The tournament will draw alot of players and re-entries and will be huge with a huge first place for a $100 tournament.

Hope this clears up the 5% payout, and hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Jimmy

Jimmy, do you have a link for the payout scale for this new 5% of field payout? It would be interesting to see it. thanks and looking forward to playing!

Basically it is the same as all WSOP circuit events which can be found at wsop.com except we pay half as many spots. So for example a tournament that has 100 players that normally pays 10 spots we will pay 5 spots so look at the 5 spot payout. Hope this is not confusing. It is a huge file and this would be the best way to see the payout info. Let me know if this answers your questions.
Thanks

It's not a big deal I am just curious because I have never played a tournament with this payout scale. Thanks again for your help and timely responses.

In a 750 player tournament 72 places would be paid, usually. So 5% payout would pay 36 instead. So we can just look at a 360 player payout scale to see what a 750 player tournament would pay? Basically? Yes? Am I over thinking this? Probably.
