Fitzgerald's Tournament

I spoke with a host today and was informed that the tournament will be January 25th, 26th and 27th, 2008. Buy-in will be $300...re-buy will be $200. Registration, check-in by 6:00 P.M. the 25th. Table assignments and refreshments will begin at 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. at the poolside.


Prize Money: 1st Place is $30,000
2nd Place is $ 9,500
3rd Place is $ 6,000
4th Place is $ 3,500
5th Place is $ 2,000
6th Place is $ 1,000
7th Place is $ 500

I believe this is correct.

The Farmer

 

Thanks for the info. I am new to tournament play and to this forum. I have been watching for this tournament. Do you vets think this would be a good one for a newbie? I think I may try it as my first "big one".

Thanks in advance for the advice.

 

Thanks Ken. I have been following you for a long time. Hope to see you around someday.

 

You're welcome Drewdog -I failed to put the ''host'' name & phone no.
in the note.
His name is Helmut - cell # 662/404/4473 .......... tell him that Shipp
told you. Hope to see you in Tunica...

THE FARMER

 

Oh, sorry. Thank-you for the help. Like I stated earlier, I am new to this. Should I contact Helmuth then?

 

Add-on prize money?

I agree with Ken, Drewdog. I think this is a great format for a new player to attend.

Normally Adolf Lepre will add additional prize money to his tournaments and as far as I know this is still one of his events along with Mike Mav.

It is my understanding that they will use the tradishional elimination format (similar to the TBJPA format). However I'll be unable to attend due to the Blackjack Cruise I am hosting during the same time.

I wish you good luck and I warn you, if you cash in your first event, you'll be hooked on tournament play!
