December GBH CPT Tournament of Champions Sats
Hey folks,
I have just been advised by the regulators that we cannot do Satellites for the CPT Tournament of Champions in December.
The Wednesday and Thursday Mini-Tournaments are still going very strong and for the $100 entry fee the $1000 prize for the Wednesday Mimi-Tournament will cover the entry for the December Tournament while the $2000 prize for the Thursday Mini-Tournament will cover the entry plus the re-buy if needed.
This event is estimated to have a first prize of $250,000.00 and will have significant impact on the CPT standings and the CPT Canadian Championship event in the summer of 2007.
The Wednesday and Thursday Mini-Tournaments will be the closest thing to a Sat for the December T of C, there are typically 15 to 20 Mini-Tournaments each day and I would encourage the Sat players to use these events to good advantage.
Cheers,
Lee

Thanks, Cameron
The T of C entry is $1000.00 + $50.00
There are 2 re-buys of $500.00 permitted in the first hour and 1 $1000.00 add-on at the end of the first hour
The field is limited to 220 players
The event will be held over two days with 110 playing each day. The top 5 from each day will comprise the final table.
The blind structure will be posted on our web site and here on the Forum the first week of November.
I will keep everyone up to date here on the Forum as things happen.

Does that mean that only the final table gets paid? That's less than 5% of the field if it fills.
The top 10 from each day will be paid, top 5 each day go to the final table, bottom 5 from each day will receive the same amount in prize money. It really is the same formula we use now.

Do the Mini-Tournaments have a fast strucure?
We are a Charity Casino, the WPT is being held in a Commercial Casino. Sats may only be run as multi-table events, we have neither the space nor available time to run a series of MTT events. The Mini-Tournaments blinds start at 1/2 and increase every 11 hands, the blinds are capped at 10/20, we typically run 15 or so games every Wednesday and Thursday. Hope I have answered your question.

The opening issue is 40 chips, the Mini-Tournaments typically last between
1½ to 2 hrs, depending if the players make a deal or play it out.

It be interesting to know how many hands are actually dealt within the 1.5-2 hour period. With the amount of starting chips, and blind increments, I can see a lot of pre-flop play in these tournaments.
You would actually be surprised, don't forget the blinds go up after 11 hands have been played, you would be looking at 55 hands minimum until the blinds are capped, and then as many hands after at 10/20 blinds as it takes to finish. We typically get 40 - 45 hands per hour in a Tournament...the usual deal would involve 2 or 3 players so you can see how many hands would be played with or without a deal.
Good question you put, hope I have given you a reasonable answer
Cheers,
Lee
