Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)

Any 2+2ers planning on playing any events? I'm looking for info from anybody who has played it before. Where to stay/ Turnout for the prelims/ any advice would be appreciated.

This is the first year. Im guessing there will be around 200 or so people in the main event, but I might get suprised. I'll be playing the main event but not the smaller ones.

It looks like everything has been re-done since Katrina. I'm hoping for more than 200 in the prelims.

I believe this the first year for this event. I plan on playing in the first satillite event friday, July 20.
I will likely play in one preliminary event and hopefully the ME

I was told by a super hotel snob who goes to Biloxi a lot to visit family that the Beau Rivage (site of the tourney) is a very nice place to stay, and the only one there falling into that category. I'm undecided about playing the main event.

It doesn't make much sense for someone in my spot (playing $550 prelims) to stay there with the weekend rates tho. Close to $300 on Saturday and Sundays. Anybody stayed at Palace?

u fkn rock my friend.
what a great year for you!
The GCC should have a great turn out considering how successful other southern Tourney stops are year after year (Tunica). At any rate, hope to see you there.

this is a first time tournament for the WPT; The casino there is supposed to be nice; similar to Bellagio.

Is this 18+ or 21+?
