OK folks. Pre-registration has CLOSED for this year's Poker Tournament.
There are 14 confirmed, paid players. What that means is that I'm SURE there will be folks that want to play when they get there but haven't pre-paid.
The entire purpose of pre-payment was to avoid the situation last year, when I bargained for FOUR tables, and under 20 players showed up...which did not endear me to the Poker Room manager.
This really DID work this year (although I'm a bit dissapointed with the lower-than-expected numbers), and I can now confirm that we will begin the tournament with TWO tables.
If there are NO OTHER late players, we'll start each table with SEVEN players and combine them into one table when we get down to 10-12 players.
The true "FINAL" table (prize eligible) will be the final NINE players,
the top FOUR or FIVE places will be in the money.
Now for the FUN part: Without having to get extra tables or dealers, that leaves us with 6-8 additional spots open, even at the tables we have!
So, if you want to play cards with us on Thursday Night, October 2nd at the Luxor, and you haven't yet already paid, I will be taking ADDITIONAL buy-ins at three different times & places:
- Wednesday Afternoon/Evening at the Hampton Tropicana: FIND ME.
- Thursday Morning/Afternoon at the Dyno: I'll be there most of the day, dynoing my car at Noon.
- Thursday evening, just PRIOR to the event, I'll be sitting in the Sports Book at that last corner chair wearing a AZ D-Backs Jersey with "MICHAEL" on the back.
Cost will be an even $90 per additional player, CASH ONLY (...and yes, I'll have a supply of Tens to break your Benjamins!)
That's it! Next year, we'll look at a different venue, a lower buy-in, and maybe Seven-Card-Stud or Omaha, DOI. SEE YOU THERE!!
