Hello blackjackinfo.com participants. I wonder how many of you are planning to attend this event. The buy-in is $149.00. You must show up on Sunday June 7th to sign up. On June 8th the action begins. I wonder what format will this be. Does anybody know? I am really thinking about entering this tournament. Pechanga was going through a rough period about a year ago in which they were supposed to lay off four hundred staff. Maybe this tourney will bring out the best. Good luck to all and God bless.
Pechanga $50,000.00 Tournament, June 7-8

I played in a tournament at one of those CA card rooms (Lake Elsinore Casino, place is a dive) since I had a free buy-in. They don't follow the CA rules since it is a tournament (you can LS, DOA, DAS, no collection, and BJ pays 2:1).
They have one every month there, buy-in is $25 with a $5 entry fee. Pot usualy is $2000 split among the last table players (top player will take around 45% of the pot).
Low priced enough to check it out. BTW, I did win the tournament. Lots of poker players were playing. Don't know if that helped me.

Well, their blackjack isn't worth playing. CSM, 6:5. But the tournament is better and no smoking!

They still take a collection there, don't they? I only saw about 2-3 tables when I was there and only one of them was BJ.

They player/dealer pays the collection (no players pay). You only have to pay if you decide to bank the game (which you can for 2 hands).
At any rate, it isn't worth it because of the 6:5 and CSM. The tournament has shoes and there are no collections. The prize pot is small, however. I don't think it exceeds $3500.00.
