    This is one reason BJ tourneys are not as popular as Poker, 75% of the prize fund goes to first, in most poker events 30-35% goes to first with 10% of the field making money. 6% or less will make anything here.

    Bigger blackjack events are popping up regularly these days in Mississippi, and that's great news! However I'll be absent for this one, spending a week in central Mexico.

    Mexico why? They don't have casinos.

    11/16,17,18/2007

    -At last nights tournament I was told these dates are confirmed for this event. Fri./16th- reception, Sat./17th-play, Sun./18th-finals. Rooms are for Fri. and Sat. night.
    -The 'Events Calender' post representing dates for 11/17-19/2007 has more detailed information than I was able to get regarding payouts and structure although the dates are suspect. My sources are the ladies running the Wed. night tourn. and their names are on the original post. They should have answers and info as it becomes available.

    **Be Advised**
    **Entry Fees are Now Being Booked for this Tournament**


    I am told this tournament has a NO REFUND policy!
    No cancellation option once entry is paid!

    Thanks for the update. I've blasted the listing with the erroneous dates from the calendar.
