On my way
To San Jacinto aka Hemet this evening to play the 25 grand tourney. I have it figured with 60 players using rebuys to max there is a 7 grand overlay. I pre registered and they dropped the 5$ casino fee which makes the buy 100$ to game. Then you have the option to buy another 500$ in chips, $2000 starting BR before, which is a max bet and I have paid for it. 2/7 advance from qualifiers. Rebuys are the same, 100$ plus the option. 4 rebuy chances yields a 580$ risk to get you to the semis. Then it gets harder. The semis are 1/7 advance except one table, I was told, will have the top 6 accumulation players from semis for 1/6. The pay scale is all to the final 7 players.
On a sour note, if the casino pulls in a lot of players the input could exceed the 25 grand guaranteed pay out. Im not sure how they will handle the over investment.
