Can't believe I am going to miss my first River ME since it was played with the old plastic chips. Priorities hit me on labor day weekend this year. May be able to play a prelim or two. Good luck everyone.

The River Main Event has same stack size and structure as the Cardplayer Main Event, except the Cardplayer Main had 60 minute levels on Day One as opposed to 40 minutes.

Dg, if I register for event 1 over the phone, but do not have time to get my table number until the morning of the tournament, do I have to wait in the long registration line on thursday morning? Or is there a different line for people who have already bought in?

There should be a will call line separate from the registration line. But that will be determined on Thursday morning once the poker cash cage personnel
move down to the box office of the GEC.

That's the best answer I can get today. I am about to leave for the day and won't be back until Thursday morning at the GEC.

Is flying in to Dallas the obvious choice? Is there a bus that would be easy to catch to the casino?

Getting to Winstar from the airport requires renting a car or a taxi ride (~$100+).

I have one for $3250. What day do you want? In fact I have all you want for that price. Could do less if you don't mind one of last years tickets.

I'll try to have an answer soon on this one. I think it would be fine.

I think it could easily sell out on Friday but keep in mind they accept alternates until 3PM

I think they have completed the AC work in the poker room, it was cooler the last couple of days I worked.

The GEC I would expect to be chilly if anything.

I always think that dressing in layers is the best idea when going to a casino.

Polo or T shirt, long sleeve shirt and light jacket.

There is a will call line for Credit Card purchases.

There is a will call for credit cards in the poker room cashier cage, however, the poker cash cage will not be handling "Will Call" after very early Thursday morning when they move everything to the GEC box office.

I think there will be a will call line there as well but the box office has their own business to conduct in addition to the River. Until Thursday morning, I can't be sure what will be available.

IF anyone has a question about the structure of the Main event, HERE is a great explanation of it for you.

Bronson explains the Mega’s at 1:20 and then the structure at 1:50 in this video.
