Pretty good tourney with soft competition. There is a diamond/seven-stars line at the tourney registration (no signs for it and hard to see) that helped me avoid the insane crowds here. The Caesars VIP card actually is useful lol.
Got in the "quarter milly" today at 4pm and there was 507 entries. Tourney was played to lvl 15 and 61 advance to the Friday 3pm start.
Tourney started late due to mainly the fire alarm going off and apparently several dealers were stuck in the chip vault
After the 5:40 start and my 20K stack I was able to successfully navigate the field and bagged at 344K chips (from my scanning looks to be in top 3).
One interesting hand about midway that vaulted me from 50K to 100k was i had AA on button and the cutoff had QQ with blinds at 800/400. He raised 3x and i re-raised 3x and he called. Flop was KKK lol. He immediately shoved his stack and i called and he was pretty much toast. Fun tourney - was a little hot temperature wise. M
