[APatHand]

For some reason I can't edit my OP to update the list. No edit button/link now.

Updated list. Let me know if I have missed anyone.

1. DoubleEagle - Thur.
2. @kmccormick100 - Sat.
3. @Perthmike (at WSOP on May 28 but not in Big 50)
4. @Matt G - Sun. ?
5. @ekricket + wifey - Thurs. ?

I'll be in town from about May 25th until June 9th, more or less (driving from Texas).
I haven't started planning tournaments, but will probably play some non-NLHE events around town. OK, maybe one or two NLHE events. Staying out near the Red Rock Casino.

Buy in with your own Paulson/trks? Leave with what you win?

Let me label up some $25's & $100's. Can you make change?

I feel like we need a pcf cash game whilst the big 50 is on.

Harvested live Vegas chips to be used. That or try to get a table opened in a casino and play

We can probably get a table openend at The Flamingo or Harrah’s pretty easily, their rooms are big enough but rarely spread more than a few tables. Something like a $1/2 hold em & $1/1 PLO mix would be fun, or a limit horse game or something! I can email a couple poker room managers.

$1/$1 is big enough to get a custom VIP paulson set ordered through the flamingo poker room right?

In all seriousness, a mini pcf Vegas game would be amazing.

I’m in for sure.

This looks awesome. Wish I could go this year. Maybe next year.

I'll be there for the CCA convention and Monster Stack $1500 mid-June

Nitzilla, my wife and I will be in Vegas that weekend and I also will be playing in the monster stack. Would love to meet up for a drink!

 

[Chauncy]

I'll be dealing at the WSOP this year, so hopefully will be seeing a number of you guys.
I know the folks at the Mirage poker room fairly well, they will gladly set up a private tournament or table for you. Let me know if i can help

 

[bradiggy]

Planning out work trips and it looks like I’ll be there 31st-2nd, I don’t know if I’ll be able to swing actually playing a tourney considering I’m there to do work ..Big50 looks very tempting though.

If somebody wants to organize a MUG, you can count me as a body.

 

[DoubleEagle]

MUG

?

This would never work. Within an hour there would less than a rack of Flamingoes left on the table and the dealer would be like WTF happened to all the chips?

Then he'd be like where did my drop chips go?!

I wish they would do something about the wait in the tourney payout line.

MUG = Meet Up Game, or at least that’s the new terminology created by vloggers like Neeme and Brad Owen

20 days till Vegas

20 days till Vegas

And you’ll only have to spend about a quarter of those days traveling there!

And you’ll only have to spend about a quarter of those days traveling there!

I've worked out that over 21 days of holiday I'll be in the air for 56 hours. Ouch

 

[hex]

I just registered for Sunday.

 

[ekricket]

I’m in Flight A, Thursday at 11am.
Day 2 on Sat, then a nice anticipation wait till day 3 on Wed.

 

[Perthmike]

Does anyone feel brave enough to hazard a guess at the potential payout range for the start of day 3?

Omaha - Vegas 2.5hr direct flight.
It pays to live in Nebraska!!

Just a quick 4 hour flight to Sydney, 4 hour stopover, then 14 hours to Vegas. No big deal.

Fortunately I used points and will be flying home in business class.

 

[Minraiser]

I will be there June 1st - 8th. Playing the last flight on Sunday.

Payouts start on day 2. I’ve been looking at the payouts from the Colossus last year, which has a similar prize pool and entries, but the structure of the 50 is a lot deeper. Day 1 of Colossus had 5k starting stacks with 5k bb at the final level 18 of the day, day2 of Big 50 final level will have BB of 25k when starting stacks were 50k. Roughly 4.5% advanced to day 2 Colossus, with a day 2 min cash being about $2500. Looks like advancing to day 3 of the Big50 will be about the equivalent, I’d guess with payouts in the $2-3k range.

Not me, I am not playing that one

 

[Chauncy]

At the meetings/auditions at the Rio they told us they expect the Big 50 to be far larger than the first year of the Colossus.

Will you be in Vegas during the Big 50 in case we have a meet up?

Edit: I think I misread your post.
