Post subject:  Another tournament at the Palacio

The Palacio casino at the Barcello Hotels is running another tournament Saturday and finals on Sunday. The last one they ran set up 23 tables with $100 entrey fees. They were oversubscibed by quite a few. Scott from the Hotel M is now working on promoting the poker room. The entry fee is going to be $500 plus casino fees. I am told that the starting time is 7pm which is much better than the usual 9pm.

just curious, how long do they play the opening round before a long break....and how long is the break between first and second rounds?

and do they take short breaks every hour/couple of hours of play?

All second hand info but from a good source who was reading it in the Tico Times. the house will guarantee $25,000. The event will run down to a certain number Saturday night with the possibly final table on Sunday. (not sure how many will continue on Sunday. I'm not sure how long they will play between breaks.

$25000 to the winner or total pot?

At $500, it will only take 50 players to get up to 25k. I played a $300 tourney and there were over 100 people (I don't remember exactly), so they would easily get 50 at $500.

I'm not sure how that place does it, but usually, they have a preset 'max number of hours of play or down to certain number of players. So lets say 8 hours or down to 18 players, whichever comes first.

And I'm sure they take 10-15 minute breaks every few levels and a lunch/dinner break too.
