It's back! The seventeenth Blue Water Classic at OLG Casino Point Edward will be on November 13-16, 2014. The buy-ins are $1,000 for Friday and Saturday. I'll post the details as I find out.

Aside from the rebuy satellites at Point Edward, there are excellent satellites at Western Fair Racetrack.
- $100+$10, 9.1% rake.
- 10,000 starting chips.
- Saturdays, 1 pm, until November 9.

In case anybody here is interested in carpooling with me on a Saturday, PM me.

    Quick clarification note for Western Fair, the satellites start at 12 pm, not 1 pm. They need a minimum of 10 players to run the satellite. Unfortunately, I don't think they will be running with a noon start time during the summer :(

    The tourneys at Western Fair are a great structure. 20 minute blind levels on electronic tables = at least 45 hands per hour. Lots of play here.

    Who told you it was noon? Both the website and poker room manager told me it's 1 pm. IF there is any support from this poker forum, it should be able to run a satellite with at least ten players.

    I was told noon start time when I was there Friday night. I am going today and will reconfirm.

    I agree with you comment about support. I will find out today if the satellite ran yesterday. I hope it did but I have my doubts. I suggested they move the start time to around 4 pm. I play the regular tourney almost every Sunday and lately they have been pretty dead. One Sunday we only had 8 players and that was the $230 deepstack event.

    I stand corrected. It is in fact a 1 pm start time. The satellite did not run yesterday. Only 4 players showed up.

    Western Fair has yet to run one. Not enough people show up for the Saturday 1 pm start to run it. I have been speaking with the Poker Room staff, suggesting they move the start time to 4 pm, and to run a satellite anytime there is player interest. So far no luck. The staff are in agreement with me, but its the higher ups who are resistant to change.
