Re: Details for WSOP Circuit Event August 29, 2007 thru September 13,
Well I wouldn't call it a trip report but I was there Thur, Fri, Sat.
Attendance was down from last year. Not sure if it was the Labor Day weekend or the WPT competition in Biloxi or what.
Played the $330 event on Thursday. 401 entries. 1st place 35K. Only paid $589 to 3rd table where I got knocked out. Last year it had 556 entries and paid $720 to the 5th table (I remember cause that is where I busted last year). So it appears the payout structure was steeper. This one started with $3000 chips, 40 min level and the 25/50 starting blinds so not sure what the confusion was on the Tuesday $330.
The $550 event I played in on Sat only had like 250 entries, $2000 starting chips, 50 minute levels, started at 25/25. I only recognized one "pro". Busted out of the $ around 70th.
Dealers were defiantly better this year than last. But again attendance seemed to be way down. I hope they come back next year.
