Has anybody played in one of the Friday $500 at 3pm?

Starting chip counts, # of players, how fast do blinds go up...

Thanks for any info.

The tournament costs $540. Satelites are available for $125. Satelite provides T1000 in chips, 15 minute rounds and a blind structure of:

T25-T25
T25-T50
T50-T100
T100-T200
T200-T400
T400-T800
T800-T1600

Note that no satelite ever passes the T200-T400 level. Two seats are awarded. No cash.

The tournament provides T3000 in chips. 45 minute rounds and a blind structure of:

T25-T50
T50-T100
T100-T200
T100-T200 with $25 ante
etc.

I put etc. since I can't remember from there. Essentially the ante keeps going up about $25 per level, and the blinds pretty much double, although there are some intermediate rounds.

The Friday tournament usually gets between 50 and 70 players. It has been averaging a first place payout in excess of $10K. With 1-49 players, 5 positions are paid. With 50-100 players, 9 positions are paid.

Hope this helps.

wow....ummmm...can you give me a list of the dealers' middle names please?

Was there playing this Friday, saw the 3pm still running at 1:00am with 3 players left. Think they paid down to 9, some must've had a good crowd. Still 10 hours? Monster chip leader--I'm sure there was talk about a chop and he wanted no part of it.
