Re-entry into the same day will be offered for Event #1. This has changed from previous events.

The cashiers are in the habit of stamping "No Refund". For events #1 & #29, tickets for unplayed flights will be refundable if you advance, but not transferrable. Refunds must be conducted atleast 2 hours prior to the start of the flight. We are cutting out the potential for scalping.

This is for all 4 flts rt? How late can come back in??

Enter/re-enter for 4 levels. If we run alternates, they will be sat through level 6.

Thanks for doing this. While some may not like this it was definitely necessary to stop the insane scalping.

Mine was stamped "pre sale" not "no refund" and I was able to get a refund. I was also able to re-enter today when I needed to. GJ putting up some way to stop scalpers.

Mason for some reason I thought someone told me I could play more than 1 day 1 if I wanted and the largest stack would be the one to go through. Am I making this up? Today I checked with a floor and I was told i had to forfeit the chips from today if I play again.
Thanks for clarifying.

Also - Today was run very smoothly, I was very impressed. Although I think you might be able to either put the high roller room upstairs to give the tournaments that room, or vice versa. Just a thought. Consolidation would make everyone's jobs easier.
Coming as a reg from Tampa Hard Rock your chips are nicer (can tell the difference between purple and black) and the room in general is a lot better, as is the rest of the casino.

Note for everyone: It got 210 players today, I don't know how many were re-entries but I'd guess at least 30. We ended the day with ~5tables

Yeah the refunds were of no issue for me as well. Bought all 4 flights in the AM and refunded 1b-1d after I got through 1A (braaaaaaaaaaaggg). Major kudos for getting a working system in place to stop the scalping while still facilitating the process to BI for multiple flights ahead of time.

Played the event #2 donkament so I could go buy my entry for day 1d since I can't play that early in the day until then.

Clearly missed the new sign and walked into the girl's bathroom in the poker room... Such a weird thing to do to switch the genders of the bathroom.

Heading there for the main event, unless there is something huge a few days prior.

A 1.1k w/ a 100k Guar on 4/15
2.2k 150k Guar on 4/16

Main starts on 4/18. Not sure what you're hoping for as far as 'huge' goes

Going to play hpt palms 13th-16th then head to both Florida wpts.

The floor was correct - you would have to forfeit the chips from today if you want to play again. We are always looking for ways to improve how we manage the room and will pass the suggestion along to our tournament director. Thanks!

Do the prelims have 250-500 and/or 2500-5000 levels?

Does your life revolve around these levels? Because it seems like it does for every tournament.

Had more good experiences today.
I got boned out of my first seat in 2/5 today bc of some kind of mix up with the brushes.
Floor guy named "R" was very nice about it and very adamantly paced around the room to make sure the next seat that got opened was held for me. He also found my kindle when I left it behind for a minute and took it to security. Elapsed time for me to realize I had left it and came back was like 3 minutes. Kudos to him for being on the ball.

Also event 3 was run very well again, but did you have to tease me like that?

There's a event #29? $350 BI/ 500K?

EDIT: OK. I see it. Should've scrolled to the 3rd page.

The two multi-day $350's and the $500's and up do.

Mr. Mason,

Thank you for updating the threads with chip count and players that have cashed. You are doing a great job.

Nice stack Nancy B!

William somehow I haven't run across you in the room yet, is that your actual name?

Is anyone going to this and planning to leave for monte carlo on the 23rd?
