Smoking Aces $100,000 Blackjack Tournament - Harrahs Casino Tunica

Literature on this event is pretty poor.
They tell you to call 1-877-307-7529 to sign up.

Don't know if it's open or invite only - probably open.
If invited, you may get a reduced buy-in and possibly free 
hotel rooms otherwise buy-in will cost $500 and no hotel 
rooms included.

Early bird registration 9/27/07 (Thursday) 7pm - 9pm to 
receive $100 in "Free Table Play".
Normal Registration 9/28/07 (Friday) 5pm - 7pm
Round 1 on 9/28/07 (Friday) starts at 6pm
Round 2 (and remainder of tournament) on 9/29/07 
(Saturday) starts 9am 


Format is not detailed. However, they do say:
"Top 42 will advance from round two to the Semi Finals. A 
$250 rebuy is available after the 18th hand of the second 
round".
This sounds like they may be copying the Horseshoe-Tunica 
format: 2 rounds of accumulation then the semi-finals with 
the $250 rebuy in round 2 (after the 18th hand i.e. 3 
hands left in round) getting you additional chips equal 
to 50% of starting bankroll - you would not actually play 
another round if you re-bought. That is just an educated 
guess, have to wait and see what actually happens.

Prize distribution unknown although first will probably be 
$50,000 if history is any indicator.
