This event will feature several $300+40 qualifiers throughout the week.
Due to Colorado gaming law, there will be NO direct buy in option to the Main event. You must qualify to play the Main event.

I'm unfamiliar with the law around poker tournaments and the $5 limit (my only live CO tournament experience are the 55+5s at Golden Gates), but I'm not sure how a 300+40 is okay but a 1500+200 or so isn't.
Has HPT done other satellites-only tournaments elsewhere?
