You'll have to hurry to get in on this one, because it's all over tomorrow night, November 13th... Sands of the Caribbean is having a small blackjack tournament to test the waters for larger events in coming months. The entry fee is $10, and you get 30 minutes to play. Bankroll is $500, and the maximum bet is $100. Currently, first place has $2000. First place wins 50% of the entry fees, which at the moment is $330. That number will certainly increase however, as more players sign up. If you open a new accounts at the Sands, you'll need to use the InstaCash option on Neteller to fund it quickly enough to participate.
Well, I did my part by contributing $10 to the prize pool. I never really had much of a chance. I think my highest bankroll was $600 after starting with $500. It looks like the Sands may be planning a much larger event for December. I expect they are pleased with the turnout of this one. With almost no time to get the word out, they still drew 113 participants, and counting.
Sounds like we had very similar tournament sessions. I also had a high of 600. I kept leaving the table during negative counts, but it did no good.
