Multi Table?

may give it a shot...lol

only down for a few events so I'll probably be buying into all of them and going from there. gonna play as much as possible tourney/cash for the ~80 hours i'm in town.

Not looking right at it by the numbers for the main last year were over 700

Post #243 TTJ said there were 492 players for last years $1600, and I recalled it being in that ballpark. The first one was in the mid 700s iirc

Same here, playing event 1/2 (3 if i don't make day 2 of event 1). Multi Tabling 2 day 2's is not fun. But the early levels of Horse are meaningless, and day 2 PLO8 will be pretty crazy by level 4 of the Horse tourney.

Should be pretty easy to multi table in that situation.

Noah, most tour stops don't have any issues with this, just want to verify you guys are fine with it? As long as I'm folding in turn, and not holding up action running to my seat.

TTJ was wrong and im right trust me

he said 492 for 10A there was also a B

My theory on playing the PLO8 and then the HORSE. By the end of the night in the plo8 tourney there will not be many players bagging chips. You come back at 2pm re start according to Jimmys structure sheet on his site so you can play 3 hours or so be4 the HORSE even starts by then it should be at least final table give or take a few players then you have another 2 hours to play the
O8 before you have to late register the HORSE at 7pm.

Anyone have any idea what the cash games are like or should be like. 5/10 nl?

Very large and lots of games. 5/10 NL runs here regularly (5 days/week?) outside of tournament time and 5/10+ PLO And 10/25+ NL should be expected most days during WSOPc

Nice to know.

Also is there public beaches near by? Hoping to go a day I am there.

Time for restart of 1MM is noon Sunday? Apologize if this is available somewhere ITT, but WSOP site has no info.

Also is this definitely going to end Sunday?

I would be suprised if it ended Sunday. My guess is Final Table on Monday. The field is going to be huge

For sure

Yeah, the main cleared 700 pretty easily last year. I think it beat 2011's showout or came very very close.

It seems as if there is no general consensus on when and where we can get 1mil gtd tix? If anyone is familiar with the situation I would like to know if I'd be able to get there Thurs night and purchase tickets for the Friday and Saturday flights

sorry if this has been answered repeatedly ITT (as i expect is has) but I would appreciate if someone knowledgeable of the situation could help me out.

All anyone can tell you is that it got sold out last year and people got locked out trying to buy tickets the night before. If you want to be safe, buy the tickets online. There is a link some posts back in this thread and on their website. You have to pay an added convenience fee but if you want to be SURE then it might be your best option. Otherwise you can take the gamble and hope you can get a ticket. Read the past page or two to see the responses from the staff on this issue too. hope that helps a little

EDIT: They also added a flight this year, so that will help keep it from being as crazy a situation as last year, so there is less of a chance of selling out but I'd still be a bit worried.

There were 788 entrants for the Main last year. In 2011 there were 742. So I'm guessing ~800 entrants this year.

We're pleased with the turnout for the introductory event of 305 players for a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. There was an $8,000 overlay for the event, which means a smaller field for the eventual winner! The room is filling and the mood is electric. Tomorrow's event should be even better as we work our way toward the $Million Guarantee and the $1,675 Main Event. Good luck players.

Thanks,
TTJ

That second preliminary event (The $365 200k guarantee with 2 rounds at 11a and 7p) was certainly interesting. I've never played a tournament with that sort of structure. It seems like a decent idea but having to be there all day to stick around for the 2nd round is kind of a pain.

Another issue is that PBKC gave away a ton of free tickets which resulted in a couple of people not showing up for the first round and 5-6 people not showing up for the second round at my starting table, which left my table 4 handed for the first couple of hours with a bunch of dead stacks.

So they blinded off several stacks and the 4 who showed up, including yourself, got all of these chips...talk about dead money!

And this is an issue because?

Well while the blinds are still very low it would kill the action without much reward. So if you get moved before the blinds go up.... Three hours into the tournament though not bad at all.

Personally wasn't an issue, the other 3 players made for an amazing table draw. I just doubt missing a significant portion of the player pool for the second round was what jimmy or noah or whoever had in mind when creating this structure.

Does anyone know what the prize pool ended up being? Yesterday during the early second round the displayed pool was a good 75k short of the gaurantee.

Where are structure sheets for the wsopc tnys, esp ev1? Thx
