    Thanks for the clarification. I was going off of what I remembered from the last tournament, and my memory is not that good anymore. Should any of you get down there I'm the Old fat guy with a buzz cut. Probably be wearing my obnoxious flowered Hawaiian Walmart shirt. It's kind of my signature good luck Blackjack shirt. Say hello.

    Could someone update the exact format on the Blackjack Tournaments (https://blackjacktournaments.com/tournaments/) page?! all it says is "same as previous" but that doesn't help someone who's never been to the tournament before!

    What time are rounds? What time is final round? etc etc etc

    Thanks Ken, but what time is last round normally? 2nd 3rd and 4th round?

    Final table has 6 players? So why is 7th place amount higher? Is this the only larger event in Biloxi held on a regular basis? Semis dont get paid anything?

    You could also call the casino and ask, and then update the listing here with the info.

    Just returned from the recent tournament at Hard Rock (Biloxi), this past weekend. Final table is 7 players. Payouts: 1st place=$20,000; 2nd=$10,000; remaining 5 players split $10,000 equally ($2,000 each). Play starts at 11am, with preliminary rounds about every half hour. Quarterfinals about 4pm, Semifinals about 5pm, Final table about 6pm. I won my table at 11am, then I advanced out of quarterfinals to Semi's. Could not advance out of Semifinals. It was a tough table to get good hands, as Moses could also attest.

    Wild card drawing?

    How many advance from each round and how many players per table?

    I never made it past the first round but from what I could tell it was 6 players per table one person advances. I'm pretty sure it stays that way until the final table.
