Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
Johnny,
You are the best man. Saw you mention that ME structure is similar to Bellagio 4 day WPT event. Can you give an example? 5 diamond, Bellagio Cup, etc are more than 4 days. I couldn't find a recent example to use. Do you mind posting the structure here and the anticipated levels played for each day (for example. for a field of 250-300 people - first day is 5 levels, 2nd day is expected to be 6 levels down to 27 players, 3rd day is down to final 6, 4th is final table). Would really appreciate that. see you there! |

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
There were 758 according to the board. Top 72 places will get paid. 11 handed for the first level or two wasn't as bad as I'd have thought. I managed to outlast only ~450 ish of them. Time to go back downstairs and see if I can get money back in the live games.

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
Hey guys,
Another 16 hour marathon in the books. 758 on day 1, with everything going pretty smooth. 11 handed was aggravating, but we did it, and moved on. 260 for $200 second chance, and a lot of singles and cash games. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the start of the vent, and look forward to a big weekend. Captain freedom heres the blind strucutre. I think we add an early level, and omit a 5k 10k level late, but everything else is the same. We estimate 250-300 for the event. It starts at 2PM Sept 6th. We play 6 levels. with breaks, thats 10 hours, plus a 1 hour dinner. around 1 am we will bag chips. Day 2 we play down to 36 Day 3 down to 6 End day 4 20 k starting chips, 90 minutes levels $100 / $200 3$100 / $200$25 4$200 / $400$50 5$300 / $600$75 6$400 / $800$100 7$500 / $1,000$100 8$600 / $1,200$200 9$800 / $1,600$200 10$1,000 / $2,000$300 11$1,500 / $3,000$400 12$2,000 / $4,000$500 13$3,000 / $6,000$500 14$4,000 / $8,000$1,000 15$5,000 / $10,000$1,000 16$6,000 / $12,000$2,000 17$8,000 / $16,000$2,000 18$10,000 / $20,000$3,000 19$12,000 / $24,000$3,000 20$15,000 / $30,000$4,000 21$20,000 / $40,000$5,000 22$30,000 / $60,000$5,000 23$40,000 / $80,000$10,000 24$60,000 / $120,000$15,000 25$80,000 / $160,000 |

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
What time did the Second Chance end at?
Be there Saturday night. Expect more or less entries in the 2nd chance? How long did it take to get to the FT? What did the stack sizes look like? |

If anyone wants some Ms Pacman competition while here, I'll be wearing a red shirt with black sunglasses hanging from my shirt pocket.

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
How are the cash games? Pretty busy? Is there a long wait to get into a game? I'm heading down from Atlanta Sat morning, with the intent to play some cash games and the second chances on Sat and Sun. Did they open up a temp cash room, or are the only tables in their main poker room?
Thanks |

Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
They have cash games running in the tourney room. Not much of a wait if you are willing to play any game. You might have a wait if you are looking for a game they only have one table of like 25/50 nl or something
