http://playubt.com/ubt_show_beontv.aspx?pge_id=91&pge_pge_id=4 According to this page in the UBT website, the Venetian event is $1,500 for the buy-in. Did I miss something somewhere, or is this fresh news? And who are the "celebrities" for the second TV table?
No, you didn't miss something - it's fresh news. The Venetian UBT stop will have a $1,400+100 buy-in. There will be a minimum guarentee of 100,000 (possibly more to be determined by next week). Apparently your anology with the bowling event was what helped get this done Leftnut! But seriously with a lower entry and guarenteed pot, and with certain BJT.com members at sea, this event is looking more and more attractive. Unlike the Palms it will be done in a trucated fashion - satellites Friday, Tournament Saturday and Final Table Sunday.
Finally going back to Vegas! So, who's planning on going to this event? I'm planning on being there, and it will be my first UBT event.
