Since they are Limit tourneys, you need to get a quick jump and ride it. The chip winner at each table will reassemble for the final table.

This strategy is wrong. In this tournament, you play at one table for one hour. The chip leader after one hour wins $100 and goes on to a final table with the other table winners.
Less than 1% of the time, someone at the table has enough chips to win before the last hands. The remaining 99% of the time, everyone caps the betting on the last one or two hands and that's how the winner is determined.
It's a terrible tournament, but there is an overlay (since it's $1200 in entry fees and $2000 is paid out).
Last time I was there was several months ago and you needed to be seated at a table and playing around 7:00 or you risk getting shut out of the tourney.
At the final table, the structure is the same, so usually everyone agrees to take an extra $100 and the remaining $200 goes to the "winner". Once in a while someone is a dick and refuses to chop.
The breakfast buffet is ok. Average sausage, pretty good bacon, bland scrambled eggs w/cheese, bland soft hash browns, fresh fruit.
