Rivers and Meadows Casino will both be holding rather large buy-in tournaments tomorrow, Saturday, the 4th. The Rivers one is for$550 if I am not mistaken and the Meadows one is for $330. The Meadows tournament is also hosted by ESPN Radio, so expect a larger turnout for that one.
I wanted to play the Meadows tournament, but I didn’t have as profitable of a week as I would have preferred, so it is better I protect my bankroll right now rather than take a tourney shot with 1/5 of my bankroll. Hopefully I can keep building the roll though and be taking some shots at some larger buy-in tournaments down the road. Best of luck to those that do play though.

I heard when i was at the Rivers yesterday they had 60 people for that 550 buy in. Not too shaby.

That’s not too bad but not really surprising. I was hoping they could have drew in around 100 people, but I know that was a way too optimistic number.
Just imagine if they had tournaments approved in August though. The turnout would have easily been 150+ for a $550 buy-in with all the excitement that was going around at the time.
