New Orleans WSOP Circuit Events

I'll be playing in the $5k Main Event. May play in one or two of the prelim events. But most likely, I'll be at the cash tables over the weekend.

Figured I'd bump this thread since the tournaments started yesterday. Anyone else in town/coming to town?

Finished 3rd in Event #1. Already back home and don't think I'll be able to play another.

I am just north of there in BR. I'll be down tomorrow. How many people were in event #1, Brad?

do they still tax all tournament winnings a whopping 6% with no chance of getting it back?

They definitely took it from mine. I think you can get some of it back if you file a Louisiana state income tax return.

I know nothing about Louisiana, but in MS you cannot get it back (unless this changed in the last couple of years). They used to do a 5% tax that you could get back, but then they switched to a 3% "fee" that you couldn't get back.
