Manitoba's first large series, April
Here is something closer to the middle. First one, so hopefully it does well.
The poker manager was quick to respond to questions so always a good sign.
Local cash game action doesn't seem to go much higher than 5-10 DC, but they said they will spread higher if interest. All your standard 1/2,2/5 etc are of course popular. Still playing some Limit with kill Or half kill smaller, and at bigger stakes for those that like. Omaha 8 is a regular game, I had fun playing this in Regina, 5/10 FL. Max buys for pot and nl games are 200bb and They are spreading PLO regularly.
They are running sats and have been since January, weekly MTT, at $100 buy in across two properties and will continue for the next few months, so that should build the pot. The ad is pasted below, they are running under 10% admin on two of the events, hopefully the full 10% on the $1000 is to compensate for labour costs of providing longer and deeper play...
They are providing shuttles to from the participating hotels, with player rates also organized. Souvineer/gift and meal provided to players on day ones of events (still a little foggy myself on what events are multi day )
Manitoba Lotteries wants to deal you in at their first major, large-prize Texas Hold’Em Tournament.

I was also wrong, Was up too late I guess, it is full 10% reg, 550+50, 250+25, etc.
It appears the player cap is 300 for both the 550 and 1100 me, but i am like 90% that both will take 2 days to play to completion, not that it is multiple start days, so should be good structure.
Keep you posted.
Both games will play down on Day One until fity players are left or 2:00am hits, whichever comes first. The first day will see thirty minute levels for the five hundred fifty dollar event and forty-five minute levels for the one thousand dollar event. Day two’s will see the blind level clocks extended, giving a generous forty five minutes for the smaller buy-in and a full hour between increases for the main event.
