So the tournament area is roped off. They are very strict about not letting anyone who is not playing past the barriers.
Skip to today. We are ITM and Gavin Smiths wife is still in. Miraculously, Gavin suddenly is wearing a MEDIA badge and standing right beside his wife from about 40 players down. Walking amongst the tables, Im sure gathering information.
This was probably the one thing that bothered me most about today.
Like, who are you reporting for? Wheres your fucking notepad if youre in there for Pokerroad. Would you still be in there if your wife was busto? Such BS.

He was also inside the barriers last night, doing the same thing
His wife was at my first table....didn't start until about 1.5 hours in....she flopped a straight within two hands and was off to the races. I didn't see better than a pair for 6 hours. Poor me. Someone please comfort me DAMMIT ! !
I truely wish Watts the best of luck and hope he takes it down (ofcourse #1 vote would have been Wetts )
I am sure my minimal experiences in these live events do not qualify me to bitch but I really don't care.
Fallsview is the last place I would want to play ever again. The lack of awareness of what was going on at their own event was astonishing. The complete disregard of players needs was incomprehensible. Thursday for the 1k I got told there was no place to watch the events. You had to be playing to enter the room. I found out later this to be incorrect info. Go figure....just the start.
I was only a little pissed after visiting 5 lineups to get my satty seat for the 2.5k event. Wait to get to the cashiers and then they say ... no, you must go here now.
Finally find the correct place to buy my seat. I am told it is going to be capped at 400...therefore 40 seats were available to be won so I buy in.... then they decide to cap it at 280 so really only 28 seats are available. I would have just gone to Niagara to play cash if I knew this but whatever...a learning experience I guess.
Is it just at this particular casino where they do not fan the cards on the table for all players to see that they are all there prior to the first deal? I asked about this and got told...we counted them before...they are all there. I don't give a damn if you counted them 20 minutes before it started. I want to see them you MF's.
Oh! And that they were playing the single table sattys with different starting stacks depending on if you played upstairs or down is beyond rediculous.
Add to this all the things I have read I must say I am purely disgusted. I would recommend selling your seat at a profit like so many others did and go play elsewhere.
If you gentlemen want to see a well run event, come out to Regina sometime. 2 events, in spring and fall. I guarantee you a much better experience and that you would want to return. Will post on this as info is available.

If you are entered but busted You should not be allowed inside of that zone.
