The PL and 2-5 and up NL games have unlimited by ins. 1-2 NL is $200 max. During the last SNPC they got a Razz game going, I think it was 5-10. During the main event, I have seen 100-200 Triple Draw and Chinese poker.

The evening tournaments start at 6:00 and usually take up all the tables at the beginning and they clear the cash game list at that time. If you want to play cash, it is a good idea to show up right after 6 and sign up, then go to dinner and come back when the tournament field has thinned out.

I was there till 1 AM this morning and cash games were running the entire time of the tournament (as well as before). There were 305 couples entered in the Jack and Jill yet both the tourney and all the cash games flowed very smoothly. There were 4 2/5 NL holdem games, 2 5/10's, plenty of Omaha games at various limits and saw a list for chinese poker at 5:30 PM, not sure if it got started, not to mention 1/2 NL holdem games everywhere.

You are right that they clear the list at 6:05 PM but if you are at a table (particularly 2/5 or higher) they have hired enough dealers they weren't breaking tables so if seated you got to keep playing. Personally I thought clearing the list 5 minutes after the tourney begins is brilliant, it keeps the cash games clean and full without calling out names of people sitting in the 6PM tournament.

Also if you are in a cash game and want to play a 1 table satellite ($45's, $85's and $125's ran last night) you must pickup. You get 45 minutes for a meal break before being picked up but will go to the top of the list if you get picked up and are running a bit late from dinner.
