can you buy in direct to the Blackhawk event? or does Colorado law prohibit it?

Complete details are in the links Cincylady so helpfully provided.

The answer to this question is that although the Colorado Gambling Commission has not yet given approval (based on the contents of the HPT's web page on the event) the structure they submitted indicates that you will not be able to buy-in directly. Apparently this is due to the max-buy-in allowed by current Colorado law. Other than this the setup is similiar to other HPT events. Some cheap sattelites to the main event qualifiers and the main event qualifiers (somewhere around 3-400). IIRC the site explicitly says that you can sell entries won to the qualifier or to the main event. If the gambling commission doesn't nix that then at least in theory you should be able to show up and buy an entry from someone.

The thought just occured to me that depending on supply and demand it is possible that the market rate for main event entries might be greater than face value.
