Love this. Could be a huge "welcome to florida" gift, cause I am moving to Hollywood right after the WSOP

This tourney is generating so much buzz already it's sick. Going to have to empty all the post WSOP bullets into this one and have a long hard look in the mirror before deciding what fair mark up numbers are going to look like

I'm thinking as this gets closer that the poker room will suspend all cash high hand payouts and replace it with $550 mega-satellites seats as high hands. I can't see how they could reach 2K+ players without filling seats with satellite winners.

This is a great idea and could easily create lots of nitty/bad cash regs being forced into getting multiple tickets

The Tampa HR has had the worst Promos in the past few months. They have to be swelling the coffers just for this event.

What if Hard Rock made their June/July cash promotions $530+$30 satellite seats every half hour for high hand winners from like Noon-Midnight, played once/week with like 20 guaranteed seats to the $5300 main...

I would be shocked if it wasn't unlimited reentry each flight and potentially until the end of day 2 as well. With this many players, I don't know what the starting stack is, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was something like 50k ss with day 1 ending around 500/1000 and day 2 ending around 1200/2400 with unlimited reentry until end of day 2

I hate the suspense, out with it already! I hope they don't go to crazy with the length of the reentry period so more people have a shot at this.

Yeah it would be really a tragedy if 50 deep pocketed pros just blasted off a ton of bullets and 7 of them built huge stacks as a result and the prize pool gets to like 11M or even more

This is definitely what I was envisioning last night as I was watching the WPT filiming and talking to a few players in the audience.

I look forward to hearing William Mason's ideas on this.

That's probably what is going to happen - another potential example of a tournament that will probably end up favoring the deep pockets.

There probably will be 2 add-ons as well, optional of course for an additional $5000 a pop.

Guess I should take out a loan from BOA and show up with $30,000, lol.
