Hope you come down soon! Need a tequila drinking buddy!

See you soon!

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

My friend and I will be driving from Texas to play in the satellites.
I just have one question.
Can you sell your entry into the main event if you qualify? I'm not sure I'll be able to play in the main event.

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

Hotel rooms are filling fast. For those of you planning on coming to Biloxi, you should eserve now, as our block will fill within the next week or so...... And if you act now, you'll also get ....... The Bass-O-Matic 2007....LOL

You won't be charged anything when you book your room through Donna. They'll take your cc info and hold the room. Her number is at the bottom of the tourney sheet located Here

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

Does anyone know if the $500 + events are one or two day events?

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

All events are 2 days unless otherwise noted. I'm pretty sure Day 1 plays down to the final 2 or 3 tables.

Drew,
You can as long as you cancel 48 hours in advance.

Glad to see someone caught my reference there Donkey..

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

Hey guys,
Just an update re the blind structure of the main event. It will be the same as Bellagio Cup, with the final table of WPT using our blind structure. The players really liked this there, and it will be applied at the Beau. Make reservations. It's gonna be good.

So do you register the day of the tournament? If so, how early should we get there? Didn't see any info on the PDF. Thanks.

Don't see an answer to this, but inquiring minds want to know. The website mentions registration starting 7am the day before. Does this mean registration runs 7am the day before to 12noon the day of for each event?

Found my answer when calling for reservations. Registration is the day before each event from 7am to 10pm. Also, the rooms are fully booked for the Labor Day weekend nights.

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

I have my hotel room reserved, hope I can make it!

The above comment was a refrence to saturday night live. This is the real JG. I apologize if anyone thinks I was being offensive.....LOL

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

Hey guys,
Just checking in. We are sold out for the Labor Day weekend nights. That's 400 rooms booked, so the fields will be BIG. We do still have availability on dates after the weekend, so booking offsite for the first weekend and moving to the BEAU would be a good idea. The rooms are awesome, with great beds and 32 inch flatscreens in every room. The pool is also the NUTS!!! A great party there on Thursday nights (Tiki party) If you call the number, Donna will give you numbers for other places nearby that can book you. Don't miss this event. It will be a great one.

See you there,
Johnny Grooms

Actually, that part's not true. It's only the block of rooms at the special poker rate, that are fully booked.

If you don't mind paying up to 500 bucks a night (might be less, if you have a harrahs players club you've used recently), there are still rooms open.

Posted link to the wrong hotel. They do have rooms at the Beau open labor day weekend, but it's (still) pricey:

Sorry I wasn't clear, but that's what I meant. I thought the implication was obvious. Regular room rates are $269+ on the weekends, IIRC.

lol to anyone that has to pay any kind of rate. The Beau is flying me down on the 30th and my room is free through Sunday when I'll fly back to Atlanta. Yeah, I'm the guy that wins money in the poker room and then goes off for 10 times that at blackjack. See ya there!

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

Well, that was easy. I was trying to decide, but now my decision is obvious. Same dates, more events spread. I'm going to the Grand Tunica! The WSOP Circuit August 29th to September 13th!

Yeah, but I booked the room using my Harrahs player card, so I got it for about 600 bucks.

Sometimes using the Harrahs card, helps you out, that's for sure. Sometimes I even get my room for free that way.

Harahs players card will not help you. The casino is owned by MGM..

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
 

Just a heads up for those of you planning to go to the Beau. Upon arrival, make sure you get a players card. They will be required for tournament registration. Also, if you plan on using internet service, bring an ethernet cable with you.

lol, you might want to check exactly where you booked a room at because Harrah's has nothing to do with the Beau.

This is what Donna said when I booked too but the 'system' was down so she couldn't check my name or apply for a card for me. I have a card from the MGM Grand Poker Room in LV...is that the same card? Wasn't sure if the 'poker room' card was separate/different than a regular player's card.
