ptaylorcpa just posted tentative info on a $125K prize pool event at Sheraton Tunica in late January. Here's the posting: https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/oldtourn/viewtourn.php?infoID=538 Any additional info appreciated. This sounds like a great new addition to the Mississippi calendar.
Source for posting The source for the posting is a note in Rudi Schiffer's "Heard it on the River" column in the Casino City Times, November 3rd. Here is the information given so far: We've HEARD there are big, big plans in store for GRAND CASINO but we will have to wait and see what develops over the coming months. Stay tuned! ADOLPH LEPRE had his "coming out" party at SHERATON CASINO and over a 150 of his closest friends showed up for a weekend of fun and gaming. The big guy is now casino manager of table games and the most common question put to him was "will you start running those great blackjack tournaments you are associated with?" He answer was affirmative and the first such event will take place Jan. 27-29. It will offer $125,000 in prize money with a $50,000 first place prize. The buy-in is $500 and the early demand for spots put this event on the road to a sell-out. In my next column I will have contact information and more details. Stay tuned. Also coming up soon will be the $150,000 blackjack tournament at GRAND on Dec. 2. It would be nice if we could get more tournaments going in Tunica. I know we all miss those that were held along the coast. Pat
