My friends and I have a regular poker tourney every other saturday with a $20 buyin. We usually get 4 table full of players but by the time the 4th level kicks into gear there really isn't much room to splash around. It starts to become a shove fest. Anyway, we decided to have a special tourney capped around 16-18 players with the buyin set at $50-$100. With an invite required. It's just a way to get the best players in that tourney together and crown a champion.

We'd like to start the tourney early on a Saturday so it could run about 7 to 8 hours. We'd like it to be a deep stack tourney where luck is not so much of a factor. Does anyone have a good structure I could use for this tourney. I'd really like it to be a success. I think it would be cool if we had a trophey made or something to. And maybe make is a semi anuual event for bragging rights. If anyone can help me out. I'd greatly appreciate it.
