Added details (There are 3 ways to get into this event:
1) Invitations will be given to all players who made the
final tables at any of the $100,000 Table Series
Tournaments ($100K 3 Card Poker, $100K Pai Gow Poker,
$100K Blackjack, and $100K Craps) throughout 2009.
2) Invitations will be given to the top 100 theoretical
earners from each individual qualifier $100K Tournament
Series throughout the year during that specified
tournament trip.
3) Being drawn as a wild card. All players who
participated in any of the $100K Tournament Series
qualifiers throughout 2009 and were not invited by rule 1
or 2 above will be eligible for the wild card drawing
which will be held on Thursday, December 3, 2009.
Rooms will probably be comped.
Can't say for sure what the rules will be since this is a
first time event. However, based on their past
tournaments, the following list of details is most likely:
6 rounds including the final table.
Min. bet = $100, Max. bet = $2,500
Generally, 2 advance from each table. If needed, 3 will
advance in 1 or 2 rounds to make the numbers work.
Standard Hilton shoe game rules. H17, BJ pays 3:2
Many "wild cards" drawn for each round including one for
the final table.
A "Mulligan" will be offered for a price of $100. This
gives you the right to change your last card dealt on a
hand (even if the card busted your hand) or change either
of the first 2 cards dealt to you. You can only use the
"Mulligan" once in each round you play. If you want a
"Mulligan" you must purchase it at the cage before you
sit down to play. You cannot purchase it at the table.
Again, the rules above are all a "best guess" based on
their previous tournaments. None of them are set in
concrete.).
Removed Guarantee for all prizes.
Added prize details (Prize Distribution is unknown. None of their literature
states that the prize money is guaranteed. However, based
on their history of paying the full prize money in the
tournaments leading up to this event, it's likely the full
$150,000 will be paid out.
Most likely, the 15 non advancing players from the semi-
final tables receive $1,000. Also, they will probably have
misc. drawings for cash prizes from $200 to $500 if you
bought a Mulligan.).
