[ba-poker] tournament series at harvey's

[Michael Hunter <michael.hunter1(deleted the rest)>]

There is a tournament series to be held at Havey's 10/24-10/29.  They are being 
"promoted" by Harray's and Clear Channel Radio Hosts.  All of the events but 
the last one are 200+25.  The last public event is 300+30.  If you want to play 
you have to preregister by calling 1-800-367-9544 and prepaying[1].  I was told 
there would be no on site satellites or registration.

The structure is fast[2] with 30 minute rounds.  There is a funny statement 
made that the "tournament will consist of at least 9  rounds".  So if I bust in 
second during the 8th round that means?

The tournaments are:
10/24 NLHE
10/25 LHE*
10/26 PLHE*
10/27 LO*
10/28 LHE*
10/29 NLHE* (300+30)
10/30 NLHE**

* These structure charts all mention "invited" participants.  I really doubt 
they would turn anybody away, but I don't know that.

** This is an invited only 25K guaranteed event that I know little about.  I've 
been told it has the same structure as the other NLHE events.

I see very little reason to attend any of these events unless you plan on being 
in Tahoe at the same time (FWIW I probably won't play in any of them).  This 
bodes oh so well for Harrah Entertainment's plans on how to run the WSOP tour.

[2] In the first NLHE event the structure is: 10-20, 25-50, 50-100, 100-200/25, 
200-400/50, 50-1000/100, 1000-2000/200, 2000-4000/500, 4000-80000/1000, double 
until finish.
