WSOP satellites at Harrah\'s AC
Called down to the poker room today for some info. I was told that twice weekly until 04/28 there will be a $250 buy into a 9 handed game and there will be 10 tables running.
Guys, help me out here; the guy on the phone tells me "We play and then the 5 chip leaders from each night will move on to the semi-finals in May and first place will get the 10K entry and a trip to Vegas and the others in the money will get cash. HUH? How do you get chip leaders from a tourney when ten tables are playing down to ten winners and everyone will have won the same amount? What am I missing? My only answer is that it is a timed tourney - guess I should have thought of that before I hung up. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

What I don't get is why they have to do it in two nights? And why are they saying one seat? If they have 10 tables of 9 people at $250 a night, that's $22,500 or enough to send 2 people for each prelim night.

The answer is going to knock you over. The $250, is actually $150+$100. Yes, the juice is 67%. They are going to use something like $15,000 for first place (seat, accomodations, travel, etc.) and pay the remaining prize money to the 2nd through whatever finishers in the final round.

[/ QUOTE ] That's pretty interesting...semi final qualifiers in May when the WSOP is being hosted at the end of this month (April). Is this for WSOP 2005? |

It also seems pretty interesting that the main event starts at the end of next month (May 22nd to be precise)
