Added details (Most of this information is from their last tournament in
Sept., 2009. They have been consistant in their prior
tournament so any changes should be minor.
NOTE: ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN
Player's Card required.
Registration (without an offer code) is probably best
accomplished by going through the Poker Room or talking to
a casino host.
Walk-in buy-ins on Feb. 19 are possible only if open
positions exist. Many players (probably more than half)
will be fully or partly comped into the tournament.
Walk-ins should be available since their tournamnts are
rarely (if ever) full.
Their last Blackjack Tournament (Sept., 2009) was held in
the poker room on level 1 so that is were it probably will
be held this time.
Re-buys only available during Round 1 and are based on
seat availability.

the Semi-Finals. Most likely, no wildcard for the Final
Table.).
