So far I'm still trying to find out when (what day) exactly it is, the 1st or the 2nd, and just how many seats they are awarding in this event.

I don't see this anywhere on that page.

This link will probably work better:

I've booked this, just because it gives me an excuse to go back and play live NL in the WSOP area (gotta love that 2/5 NL), making the satellite basically a freeroll.

There's really no info about this 'River of Dreams' satellite on their website. I've sent in a request for more info to the Harrahs customer service department, but who knows when/what I'll hear back.

It's there at the bottom of the page, but here is a more direct link (Zpin, fyi that link you posted, I suspect is keyed to your personal account so you might want to edit it):

$250 sounds really cheap for this.

[CincyLady]

They are trying to get bodies in there the few days before the 4th of July is my guess.

Since most times a spouse or loved one comes with that is NOT into poker, I suspect it's a ploy to get those out on the floor playing the slots.

[CincyLady]

Found out from a friend that it looks like that the actual tourney will be held on July 2nd, but not sure of the time.

Still trying to find out how many seats will be awarded for this.

Okay, I just heard from them, and got more information.

1) This tournament is only open to Harrah's Rewards members, so if you don't have a Harrah's Rewards card, you need to stop at the Rewards desk at the Rio before you register for the event to get a Harrah's Rewards card.

2) Registration will be held on Sunday July 1st, between 4 and 8pm local time. The Event itself will start on Monday July 2nd, at 11 am local time.

3) Number Seats awarded. 1 seat for every 200 players in the event (note, the person I spoke with said they are getting a huge response to the package (gee, I wonder why [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ), is the reason why they are expanding the prizes).

Best part guys ... if you win ... you can take the WSOP ME seat or ... they are offering Cash option too! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Link here again for anyone who wants to sign up (there is still time and the package is still open):
