I went to the Hilton on the 12th. They have moved the poker tables into the ballroom that is adjacent to the old poker room. There was one 1/2 and one 2/4 table going at the time. Eventually they had two of each running. They are also running tournaments again. As always the 1/2 table was really soft but we had trouble keeping it going.

I kept asking all of the dealers and floor persons when the new room would be open and the consensus was by Thanksgiving. I also asked how many tables they expected to have but I kept getting blank expressions for answers. One dealer seemed to think they would have around 12.

I would like to say though if you haven't given the Hilton a chance the comp rates are great and if you play a few hours a month and sign up for their rewards card they may send you a post card with an offer for two free rooms (Sun-Fri) a month, you just have to pay tax.
