Does anyone have any details on the Wynn Classic series. According to their website, for the limit omaha 8 tourney, the 1st level blinds are 50/100. 100/200 limit seems pretty high for first round.

E-mailed them yesterday and have not received any reply. Does anyone know the starting chips or how long each level lasts.

$500 4,000 45 Minutes
$1,000 4,000 60 Minutes
$1,000 (rebuys) 6,000 60 Minutes
$1.500 5,000 60 Minutes
$2,000 6,000 60 Minutes
$3,000 8,000 60 Minutes

10k Event is 90 minutes with 30,000 in chips

I don't think the web site has been up-dated. Here is the correct info for the Wynn Classic.

Buy-in starting chips length of round
$500 $10,000 40 min
$1000 $10,000 60 min
$1000 W/RB $6,000 60 min
$1500 $10,000 60 min
$2000 $15,000 60 min
$3000 $15,000 75 min
$10000 $30,000 90 min

The structure on line should be correct and the rest of the info on the web site should be up-dated some time today.

Does anybody have information about getting a tournament rate for rooms at the Wynn?

The dates for this are up on the MTTer Calendar. Lotta **** going on around Saint Paddy's west of the rockies

Thanks for the response. The limit structure must not have been updated. When has an Omaha 8 tourney ever had an ante?

10000 in starting chips is great. $25/50 blinds for the first round would be nice.

The limit structure is not correct on the web site. First round is 25/50 blind 50/100 limit and there are no antes.

Bummer, I would totally show up for a limit Tourney with antes

wish I could go...I love the Wynn....and their poker room, and would have loved to play in one of their major tourneys...

I think i might fly out there this weekend for the 545, 1k and 1500

btw just called and the lady said she is preety sure it is just the standard poker rate of 129/199 for the tournament

FYI, the turnouts thus far for the first two events have been awful. The 500 event last year got 620 players and only got 450 this year. Todays 1k buyin got only 160 players and for a Saturday, that is a really bad turnout. Hopefully, the numbers get better as the week progresses...

doubt it will get much better...reality of new poker given the economy and how fatigued the poker economy itself seems to be and the sheer number of tournaments that are going on around the world simultaneously (one just needs to look at PokerStars APT, AAPT, EPT, AZPT, and a hole bunch of other fc*&^ing acronyms they have now vs. last year... the tourneys everywhere in the US are down 10-30% (except for some of LAPC events which I attribute to the great job Matt did)...
