Big Game 2

We've had several requests for information about Big Game 2, which is coming up at Harrah's St. Louis on the weekend of January 27-29, 2012. Here's what you need to know:

HOW DO I LOCK UP A SEAT?
Players for the $25/50 game may lock up a seat by contacting us before Thursday, January 26th.

Players for the $10/20 game – and any other $25/50 players who haven’t locked up a seat -- can call Harrah’s Poker Room at 314-770-7600 beginning at Noon on Friday 1/27 to reserve a spot on the list.

HOW DO I RESERVE A HOTEL ROOM?
We have a few rooms left at the discount rate which you can reserve before Tuesday, January 24th, by calling Harrah’s St. Louis (314-770-8100) -- use the hotel discount code “Big Game.”

PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY!
The games will start at 6pm on Friday, January 27th – but please don’t wait until then to show up. Last time, we had a logjam at the cashier’s window when all the players arrived just before game time. To avoid that crush and delaying the game, please be in the Harrah’s poker room by 5pm Friday so you can buy chips or access your wire transfer. If you need a safe deposit box, they will once again be available at the Harrah’s Hotel front desk for all Big Game players at no charge.

GAME DETAILS
The Big Game will be $25/50 no-limit hold’em with a $10 ante. Minimum buy-in is $15,000 with no maximum. The Harrah’s poker room cashier will have a window open for Big Game players and will have large denomination chips ready ($1k and $5k). Rake will be $8/player/half-hour with 9-handed tables.

There will also be a $10/20 no-limit hold’em game with $5 ante per player. Minimum buy-in is $2,500 with no maximum. Rake will be $7/player/half-hour. Tables will be 9-handed.

HOW DO I WIRE FUNDS TO HARRAH’S?
If you want to wire money to Harrah’s, you must do it no later than Tuesday morning 1/24. The Harrah’s contact person for this is Victoria Werckle at 314-770-8367.

ALSO IN THE ROOM
On Friday, Harrah’s will also spread $1-2 NLHE ($200 max), $1-2-5 NLHE ($500 max), $1-2-5 PLO ($500 max), and $20-40 Limit Hold’em (no max). On Saturday, same games except $20-40.

If you’re flying into town, give us details on your flight no later than Tuesday 1/27 and we’ll arrange for the Harrah’s limo to pick you up.
