Tournaments: 10:00 AM $20 buy-in freezeout, 7 days a week. This one is an excellent tournament for the beginning player, you already know ahead of time that you can't lose more than $20.00 because there are no re-buys and no add-ons. But LISTEN UP!! This tournament has been so popular of late that you should probably get there at least an hour early or you'll be placed as an alternate. Strategically, you're better off starting out when the tournament begins rather than coming in later as an alternate.
