This isn't a recent event, but I just discovered a fun read over at Max Rubin's site, where he interviewed Iris Meyrick, director of player development at Barona Casino. Barona held a $1 million winner take all tournament where they invited 50 players to put up $10,000 each. Here's a link to the interview: http://maxrubin.net/print_trail1a.html
Great insight into LVHilton tournament. Kenneth: great articles. I love the one on Jimmy Wike and the LVHilton $1 million tournament.
Yeah, I posted my original message before reading the article about the Hilton event. Thanks for pointing it out as well.
