Re: Plaza will host the largest poker tournament of the year
Interesting. They are taking the time slot of the WSOP and making this the biggest buyin. They seem to be trying to create what the WSOP was. The $10K side event is scheduled for 5 days. The $50K main event in scheduled for 2 days, so they must not be expecting a huge field.
$50K is probably a little more in real terns than $10K when the WSOP started out. To really create something like the old WSOP you might need a $100K or $200K buyin.
If there are online satellites, it will probably bring in more players, plus some 2nd rung pros attracted by the online qualifiers. Still at $50K it should be the toughest noninvitational tournament around.
