Well, technically the new name is the Foxboro Poker Open. My second annual deepstack event. Last year we had 15 players in a T10,000 event, blinds started at 25-50 and lasting 45 minutes per round. This was a two day event, but it was down to the final three for day 2 (which lasted less than 20 minutes!). You can read about last year here:

This year's event is tomorrow, Saturday October 28th. Currently I have 13 players confirmed and 2 more possible. I invited enough for 3 tables, but it is what it is. With my new batch of ASM's, this year is T20,000 baby. I also upped the prizes, which are posted
here.
I was originally going to go with the Bellagio T20,000 schedule (starting at 50-100)
(See the Bellagio schedule here), but opted to go with the Foxwoods WPT event schedule taking place in a couple weeks.
(See the Foxwoods schedule here). The basic differences are minor:
- Foxwoods has an extra low level of 25-50
- Foxwoods has a 1200-2400 level replacing Bellagio's 500-1000 level
I'll have 10 minute breaks every 2 levels, and an hour dinner break. A couple of the race-offs don't fall into the scheduled breaks, so they'll be 2 extra breaks for that as well.
Cards should be in the air by 12:30pm. I'm going with 45 minutes levels. I figure we'll end by level 17 - so we should finish around 3am.
Well, I doubt I'll have updated during the day on Sat, but wish me luck and let me know if you have any advice ... I'll be around tonight.
