The Cook Crew is pleased to announce:

:DThe Cook Crew "Superstars" Event :D
No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament
Saturday, October 28th at 7:00pm
(doors open at 6:30pm)

After a long hiatus we are finally able to start hosting again! For our return, we would like to have a one-night event similar to "Poker Superstars". For a $20 buy-in, players will play in 3 preliminary sit-n-gos, and the players with the most points will advance to a fourth "final table" sit-n-go. As with Superstars (and due to time constraints), the preliminary rounds will be fast-paced (and slightly chaotic), but the final table will allow far more play. Prizes may be rounded within $5 to facilitate payouts. "Robert's Rules" will be used to resolve any disputes. People are free to play additional games during and after the main tournament as tables become available.

Preliminary Rounds
Ideally we will have 8 players per table, but we may have 6-9 person tables (depending on how many register). The blind levels will be 25-50, 50-100, 100-200, 150-300, 200-400, 300-600, 400-800, 500-1000, and 1000-2000 (also known as the "widow-maker" ;) ). Players will receive 2500 chips, and each level will be 12 minutes long (so each match is expected to last around 90 minutes). 30% of the prize pool will be used as a prize for the winner of each preliminary SnG. 10 points will be awarded to the winner, with the next 4 players receiving 7,5,3,1 points respectively.

Final Table
The top 9 players from the preliminaries will advance to the final table, with each player receiving 250 chips per point. The blind levels will be 25-25, 25-50, 50-100, 75-150, 100-200, 150-300, 200-400, 300-600, 400-800, 600-1200, 800-1600, and 1000-2000. Each level will be 15 minutes long, so the final table should take around 2 hours. The remaining 70% of the prize pool will be split between the top 3 50/30/20%.

Example
A quick example since this format is a bit different. Assuming 32 players, the total prize pool will be $640. we will have 4 tables of 8 for the preliminaries, with each preliminary winner receiving $15 (640 * .3 / 12). This leaves $460 for the final table which will be split $230/140/90.

When registering, please include your first name and last initial. If you need directions, let me know by PM. For reference, I am located in the Stanley Park area of Kitchener. BYOB BYOS.

    I second that emotion. Sign me and Aimee up. I'll have to confirm her work schedule etc but I should be good.

    He usually is - it just depends whether "sponsors" show up ;) . However, the format of this one means he'd be playing a little later than he's normally used to.

    Actually, that's a good point for everyone. For those of you who are not used to still being in the main tournament past the first break ;) , the 3 preliminaries mean you are guaranteed to be playing still at 10pm...
  • STR82ACESTR82ACE
    Trevor, can you put me down as tentative right now? That's my daughter's b'day party weekend, and I'm not exactly sure at this point how involved she wants me to be in it. Hopefully, she will want a house filled with screaming 12 yr old girls and I could use the excuse of a out of town game to sneak away from that chaos!!!
  • specialKspecialK
    I think i'm ready for my return to live poker... put me down.
  • ZithalZithal
    I think I'm free that night. Holy crap! Count me in.
  • westside8westside8
    Rob,
    Isn't that night the night of the Halloween party, or is that Sat night?

    Thats a relieve, at least you won't hear any "CASH GAME!" screams for the first couple of hours.

    LOL - don't count on it. Those who bust quick and are waiting for the next prelim will have some time to kill. I think the screams should start at about the 17 minute mark ;)
  • g2g2
    Sign me up, please. Welcome back Trevor and Jenn :)

    Is this going to be a KWTC event?

    I'll sponsor Jason for $5 if he wants to play (and can get $15 more in sponsorships).

    Assuming we get 16 players (http://pokerforum.ca/showthread.php?t=8187), yes.

    Thanks Greg! Jenn and I are always good for 1/4 of his buy-in, so he's half-way there ;) . I'm always more concerned about the humiliation for those he ends up taking out :D
