3 main event seats. What can you tell me about this tourney? I see it has 3 day 1a's. Do you know when the last one is?

Sweet, I'll be there...

Wish I could be there but I'll be at Choctaw-Durant wsopc.

Thanks, I'll be there.

Anyone got a feel for how many will show up for this?

My guess 275-325 for all 3 flights.

Thanks Bigtex, so anywhere from a 30k to 40k total prizepool plus the 3 added seats......

Lisa their poker room manager is pretty good at setting guarantees that they won't have any trouble meeting, we all know casinos hate to take money out of their pocket. I expect more than her guarantee as the word guarantee draws people plus the added seats.

im headed over for this...looks to be nice room and tables with plug ins...heck ya!!!

If tomorrow has a good turnout might have to play on Saturday. Good looking prize pool

Anybody got any numbers from tonight?

165+

196 last I saw tonight

196... They definitely have room for improvement in efficiency of running these.

They have great employees but are not used to running large events, I would be assisting but I am at wsopc Choctaw thru the 20th.

What are some of the problems they are having? I plan on driving 4 hours to play in the 6pm, was hoping for a well structured and staffed event.

There were no real problems and the staff is great just a little overwhelmed with the numbers.

Okay, thanks. I'll be there at 6.

Still worth the drive.. mainly small annoying things

How was the 6pm turnout?

189 and 607 total

I have been informed that this will become a quarterly event. Looking forward to it.

BigTex, any knowledge if they are paying the top 12% or if we are going to have a bubble today?

Great news about it being run 4 times a year. Had a terrific turnout

I haven't seen the payouts but it should be close to 12% and it will play til it finishes. Kinda of hard to get info when I'm at Choctaw wsopc and the Shoe's staff is very busy. By the way look for major events to be coming 3-4 times yearly with a knowledgeable and well respected TD brought in to run them.
