I've been a tournament player for over 15 years and I have played tournaments in Las Vegas, Los Angeles at the Bicycle Casino and The Commerce and this little $50 buy in is by far the coolest. EG. Yesterday I bought in a lil late at 2:45 and I was an alternate. Great to see a nice turn out so I didnt mind. Normally its 10k in chips but they tweaked a few things and now its 40k deep stack. AWESOME since the blinds afford you to see more flops than normal. After about 6 hours of play I had around 2 million in chips and sitting in 1st place with 4 people left out of a field of 138 players. I ended up winning 1st place with a prize of $1,275. Not a bad payout for $50. I highly recommend you play this tourny on Sundays only at rivers casino. The afternoon 2:15 tourny will have the most players as the 7:15 gets about half that size. To end this review on a good note, I gambled $200 of my winnings to slots and hit a regular jackpot of $2,500 on HOT 7s!! So took $100 in cash with me and came home with a POSITIVE $3,575. YEA IM LOVING RIVERS AROUND ABOUT NOW :)
