$250,000 Blackjack Tournament Horseshoe Tunica - Robinsonville MS 12/10/2009 to 12/13/2009 User toolman1 just posted a new event on the Event Calendar. Event Details after this update $250,000 Blackjack Tournament Horseshoe Tunica - Robinsonville MS 12/10/2009 to 12/13/2009 Details: Entry Fee: $1,000.00 USD Bankroll: $5,000.00 each round. (Non-Negotiable chips) Hybrid format. Phone: 800-303-7463 Details: Code: If you have a host at this casino, that is the best way to handle your reservation. If not call 1-800-371-7568 to make your reservation. An uninformed clerk may say that only invitees are eligible but you should insist that a ?$1,000 public buy-in? is available. Plan on spending a half hour on the telephone. For those paying the $1,000, be aware that their computer system my not allow you to make a comped hotel reservation since a reservation in the tournament constitutes an "offer" and "offers" cannot overlap. So even if your reservation "seems" to indicate you have a room, I suggest calling the hotel and talk to a real person to verify your room reservation. If you are comped into this event then this may not apply. The following information is from their past events of this type. Some things may change but it should remain about the same. Most entries into this tournament will be full or partial comped. About 50 entries are available for the ?$1,000 public buy-in?. Tournament is limited to 250 players. Although they do not say the prize pool is guaranteed, in the past, even with a turnout as low as 170 players, the full $250,000 prize pool has always been paid out. I think they do that so as not to irritate the HIGH ROLLER comped entries. Thursday, Dec. 10, 7pm-9pm ? Early Bird registration. A $100 ?live? chip is given to the first 30 to register. Friday, Dec. 11, 7pm-9pm ? Normal registration Saturday, Dec. 12, 9am ? Play begins with 2 rounds of accumulation. Your scores from these 2 rounds are added together and the top 45 (approximately) advance to the Semi-finals. The exact number advancing will be available in the rules you receive when you register. Sunday, Dec. 13, 8:45am ? About 4 Wild card(s) are drawn for the Semi-Final table to bring the Semi-Final to 49 players. Sunday, Dec. 14, 9am ? Semi-Final round begins. 7 tables. 1 advance per table. Countdown before last hand is dealt. Sunday, June 14, about 10:00am ? Final round begins. Countdown before last hand is dealt. Last had is a secret ballot bet. The bet is revealed after all ballots are in and the amount on the ballot is replaced with tournament chips for all to see ? then the cards are dealt. Their normal Blackjack rules apply. Minimum bet $100. Maximum bet $10,000. Approximately 18 to 21 hands are dealt per round. This has varied. Cards are dealt from an 8 deck shoe. In the 2nd accumulation round, when only 3 hands remain, anyone can purchase an addition $2,500 of tournament chips for $500 real money. This applies even if you ?busted out? at any time earlier.
