i,m lookin forward to this,,, i know i,m playin in one event for sure,, and possibly 2 otheress, we,ll see, when some of them get a lilttel closer, so GL to any1 else playin any of these too..

these mini ftops are a great way to hit a big scorefor very little. I realize for many of you the buy-ins still may be a little steep so there are many satellites for each tourney. If you're not sure what satellites are,they are practicly smaller buy-in qualifiers for the bigger tourney. It's an easy way to get into bigger buy-ins for much cheaper.

If you're interested in playin any of these satellites just click on the mini ftop you'd like to play and the sattelite schedule will be on the right of the tourney lobby.

I am playing in Event #1. There are currently 4,589 players registered and 9 of them are pros. Yeah, this is going to be a long game. $31K for 1st place. There are currently 1350 places being paid.

Good luck to all that are playing. Hope to see you at the final table.

I want to know why all the Omaha games are at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm??? Why no night time Omaha? Pffftttt Guess I'm going to have to take a couple days off work. Thank goodness for vacation time. lol

For Event #20 on 9/15 - what does 7-games include? Does anyone know?

I'm assuming it includes Holdem, Omaha (hi & hi/lo), stud (hi & hi/lo), razz, but can't figure out the 7th. Or am I totally off course?

[dhawkins701]

7 game consists of Limit Holdem,Limit Stud H/l,Limit Razz,Limit omaha h/l,Limit Stud Hi,No Limit Hold Em,and Pot Limit Omaha.


Well cashed in the PLO 50 dollar event but haven't done well at all in the others. Plan to only play the 26 dollar 300k gtd KO NLHE event 32 and the main event (75 dollar buy-in with a million guarenteed).

Good luck all.

[SharBear613]

Thanks Dustin. So I had it right except for the fact there is limit and no-limit holdem in the game. Cool.

Congrats on the cash in the PLO game. You will cash again. You playing any of the Omaha's today? I'm playing both.
