That sounds like so much fun. Juice is pretty high though for a 5k event. And there should be a 2500 level. Otherwise, perfect.

Juice will always be high on a 4 or 5 player per table tournament. It's not Holdem where 40 players would take 4 tables. This will take 7-8 tables + dealers and floor staff to watch/man them all. So the house makes much less money per table by running 4 players vs tables with 10.

I'll have the results for this as soon as I get them emailed to me but there were a total of 31 entries for a prize pool of $138,000 (after the 5k bounty on Grinder)

I totally forgot about this. Results when you get them would be awesome.

Thanks
