A little off topic, but other than that hand, how was the Rio tourney? What was the buy-in? Were there rebuys? How was the structure?

I liked the tourney, a lot. $40 gets you $2000 in chips. 1 $40 add on/rebuy gets you $1500. This has to be taken in the first hour.

Blinds start out 25/50 and double every 15 or 20 mins (sorry cant remember). 1 round after the first break a 25 ante is introduced.

fri-sun there is approx 100 entrants (capped at 100) and up to 28 alternates !!!!! Only 7 can make the money.

mon-thur 50-60 seemed the norm. 10% get in the money.

p.s Dealers mistake arose from him chatting. I also saw him muck flops on 2 other occassions. Scarily he wears a tag that says he is a WSOP dealer !!! Wanna see him muck Helmuths flop LOL
