$300 + $50 No Limit Hold'em
There are lots of reasons to opt for the noon tournament. Not being able to commit the time for a two day tournament makes a one-day event more appealing. Of course there's the lower buy-in, which also makes it more appealing.
This event has drawn more players than event 18. They are up to 28 tables in action now, with more players arriving. They are filling out about two/thirds of the event center main floor.
Currently playing level 2 with blinds of 50/100.
