To the Rafters

Last year this tournament had a $5,000 buy-in that attracted only 150 players. This year, with the buy-in lowered to $1,500, the field has swelled proportionally. The entire back tournament room of the Caesars poker room is in use, as are more than half of the tables in the front of the room. Registration is open until Level 7, and with players continuing to wander in the total purse for the tournament should be significant.
