Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the comments, and nice plug.

A new series of low buy-in tournaments begins tonight with a $22 NLHE tourney at 9:30 Eastern. There will be tournaments tonight, Friday (9:30) and Saturday (4:30), and many more in the days leading up to the Championship Event.

These tournaments are open to everyone. Even though the motivation was to allow some form of lower buy-in method of entry into the Championship Event, these are actually just regular MTT tournaments for everyone to play in if they wish.

See

for the entire schedule.

Good luck!

Scotty,

Can they not set it up so that it is a MTT, but that it works with a satellite style payout.

Ie, payouts of $109 for as many as possible ... with the rest to the next place paying.

that way they can be more like a satellite

I don't think so. I'd be surprised if they would not set up satellites but would do this.

I've also given it some more thought and I actually think MTT's make more sense anyway, since we would be more likely to get higher turn-outs. This way, people who feel like just playing a regular tournament instead (e.g. those who may not be interested in the Championship Event, those who plan on buying-in directly to the Championship Event, random dead money from the USA, etc) will be far more likely to join in.
