Circuit event at Harveys in Taho
I just looked at the Circuit event information for the Tahoe event being held at Harveys. What a joke...
Bad: $300 buy in, $40 entry fee. Nice, 13.3% juice on this tournament. Oh yeah, another 3% is being withheld for the tournament staff from the prize pool. Good: 40 minute blind levels Bad: 10 minute breaks every 2 levels, NO dinner break. "dinner breaks may be added at the discretion of the tournament director. Play will continue to one table or 2am, whichever comes first. Wtf? Tourny starts at noon and they want players to go 14 hours with no dinner break? Good: Structure is pretty decent for the first event. Bad: Just looked at structure for Main Event. Much faster blind increase but 75 minute levels with NO BREAKS for 9 hours+ play each day. Harrahs...why? Did we learn nothing from the WSOP at the Rio this year?

Re: Circuit event at Harveys in Taho
In the fine print of the blind structure for the satellites to the Lake Tahoe/Harvey's circuit event, it states: "Players winning subsequent satellites will receive 10 ($500) tournament chips + $150 in cash"
http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/ev...?eventid=37774 Does this mean a player could start the main event with $15K or even $20K or more in chips if they are sucessfull at multiple satellites? Or are these tournament chips to be used for entry into other WSOP events? Just wondering if anybody knows anything about this...

Bad: Just looked at structure for Main Event. Much faster blind increase but 75 minute levels with NO BREAKS for 9 hours+ play each day. [/ QUOTE ] it says right there there is a 15-minute break after every level. The structure is pretty much identical to the Bellagio 5K event, except with 15-minute-longer levels, which is a huge improvement. Any idea how many people will show? As for the dinner breaks...I played deep into an event there a year ago and I'm pretty sure they did give us a dinner break. I assume if they're not giving one this year that they're providing some way for players to eat (like the Bike does during its tournaments) and the lack of a dinner break is actually fine by me in that case.

Are you sure it's at Harvey's? I didn't see any mention of it. [/ QUOTE ] Just going by what a few people from that area have told me. Something about Harveys having more room [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
