Added bankroll (5000.00).
Added details (This is one of three Blackjack tournaments of this size 
being held during 2009.

Qualify by receiving a suited blackjack in live play (with 
a $10 or more bet) anytime from 03/07/09 to about 05/23/09.

Rooms are comped only if you have a record of sufficient 
play. Otherwise, they are about $55 per night for the 
tournament players.

Their March, 2009 tournament had about 600 players which 
they considered full so I think they cut off qualification 
at that point - that's what I heard anyway. When this 
event was held twice per year they had about 750 to 800 
players. 

There are 6 rounds including the final table.

Based on their past tournaments:
Min. bet = $100, Max. bet = $2,500
For each round, 2 advance from each table.
Standard Hilton shoe game rules. H17, BJ pays 3:2

Many "wild cards" drawn for each round including one for 
the final table.

A "Mulligan" will be offered for a price of $100. This 
gives you the right to change your last card dealt on a 
hand (even if the card busted your hand) or change either 
of the first 2 cards dealt to you. You can only use the  
"Mulligan" once in each round you play. If you want a  
"Mulligan" you must purchase it at the cage before you 
sit down to play. You cannot purchase it at the table.).
Changed All Prizes to guaranteed.
Changed 1st Prize to guaranteed.
Added prize details (The 15 non advancing players from the semi-final tables 
receive $1,000. Also, they usually have misc. drawings for 
cash prizes from $200 to $500 if you bought a Mulligan. 

All prizes listed are copied from their March, 2009 
tournament. They will probably remain the same 
but nothing is for sure.).

Added prize 4 (6000).
