So I'm guessing Council Bluffs attendance (given their location) will be around 150 to 200 which brings the EV up to a more reasonable level.Ģ) The format is typical Tunica format: 2 rounds of accumulation followed by the semi-final table. Normally they get about 175 fully comped high rollers and 50 to 75 paid entries. As a side note, the Horseshoe-Tunica runs a $250,000 tournament with $1,000 entry fee. Also, free hotel rooms and a $125 travel reimbursement may also be available when they consider your recorded pay at (again) any Harrah's properties. They will reduce the fee based on your play at any Harrah's properties. However, I personally doubt they will get that 300 given their location and the fact that the entry fee is $1,000. If they get that 300 then the EV is $583. However, there are 3 issues that may stop BJTers from attending.ġ) The prize pool is $175,000 and they are looking for 300 players. I was told that if they get enough support for this event then more tournaments will follow. I say 'real' because their only other tournament was for the now defunct Millionaire Maker years ago.
The Horseshoe Council Bluffs in Iowa (across the river from Omaha) is holding their first 'real' BJT on 7/25/08 - Prize Pool is $175,000 with $100,000 for first.
