I was in the Bellagio today and saw a schedule for a new series of Friday night tournaments. They are being called "Five O'Clock Fridays" since they will be one day events which start on Friday evenings at 5pm. The first of these tournaments will be held on July 12.
All the events have a $1,000 + $50 buy-in. First place is a guaranteed $20,000. Satellites for the tournaments begin on Thursdays at 11am. Everybody receives $2,500 in tournament chips. Each level last one hour. (The blinds for the no-limit tournamnet on 7/12 start at 25-50 and move up to 50-100, 100-200, etc.).
Here is the schedule:
7/12 No Limit Hold'em
7/19 7 Card Stud
7/26 Limit Hold'em
After that, the schedule for each month is the same:
1st Friday: Omaha Hi-Lo Split
2nd Friday: No Limit Hold'em
3rd Friday: 7 Card Stud
4th Friday: Limit Hold'em
5th Friday: No Limit Hold'em (when applicable)
