There really isn’t anything else to talk about this week. 11am. The Final Table. $100K guarantee. $300 buyin and $100 addon.

But please, FT, fix the web site. The week of the big event is no time for it to be broken on tablet and phone browsers. Put the schedule up front, don’t keep burying it as a PDF link. Make sure it’s accurate.

I’m pretty sure there’s supposed to be a number attached there to the 11am guarantees. And while I think having the structures is great, maybe put the antes on instead of limits.

Am I giving away the fact that I used to be a freelance proofreader?

Seriously, though, this is going to be a great game and I’d recommend picking up your ticket by Friday unless you want to wait in a long line or risk being an alternate.

Encore Poker Series: Deal of the Day

Once again, we stick to Portland for the Deal, with four events next week making up a total of $200K in guarantees at Encore Club. No bounty tournament this time around. All of the events are rebuy or re-entry. The Main Event of the series is the second $100K guarantee event in Portland in two weekends, on Sunday, November 1st at noon. Buyin at Encore is $500—the room capacity is smaller than at Final Table, so there’s a corresponding shift upward in cost—but the starting stack is 30K (vs. 12K) so you’re starting a bit deeper, with 300BB (at 100/100). 40 minute blinds!

The $50K of the series is on Halloween. It starts at 1pm Saturday, but unless you plan to just flush your money into the system, you’re not going to get home in time for trick-or-treaters.

Opening events for the series are a $20K on Thursday and $30K on Friday, both at 8pm.

Again, get your tickets early.

This Week in Portland Poker

• Tomorrow evening (Thursday), Final Table ramps up to the $100K with a double guarantee for their 7pm game. $3K guarantee for a $40 buyin, 1 re-entry, and a $20 addon.
• If you don’t want to plunk down $400+ with a better than 80% chance of not seeing that money again (for most of us),or if you’ve busted from the $100K, Portland Players Club is putting on a 5:15pm $500 guarantee bounty tournament for $20. Today at noon is a $400 special Big O freeroll ($5 door fee gets you 2K in chips). Friday is a $750 NLHE freeroll. Halloween is a 5pm $2K Big O tournament; $100 for 30K in chips.

Only a Day Away

• The PlayNow Poker Championship finishes up this weekend at the Hard Rock Casino in Vancouver with a C$1,650 Main Event; starting days Friday and Saturday.
• The Card Player Poker Tour/Hollywood Park Casino National Championship of Poker in Los Angeles has its final event, a $500 $150K guarantee Main Event this weekend.
• At San Diego’s Oceans 11 Casino, the WPTDeepstacks event has a party tonight to kick off its three-day $200K Main Event with a $1.1K buyin and starting days Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
• Run It Up at the Peppermill Reno ends Sunday, with starting days for its $100K Main Event ($565 buyin) on Friday (noon) and Saturday (8:30am). The Day 1 structure for Saturday is a turbo, with Day 2 scheduled to begin at noon Saturday and a final table livestream on Twitch on Sunday.
• The Eldorado Resort Casino Poker Challenge $1K buyin Tournament of Champions starts Saturday in Reno, with Day 2 on Sunday.
• Tulalip Resort and Casino north of Seattle has a regular Last Sunday of the Month tournament. If you’ve just finished up chopping the $100K at Final Table, get someone to drive you to Marysville while you nap so you can get into their $500 buyin game. Par-lay!
• The Venetian Deepstacks Extravaganza IV starts Monday and runs until Thanksgiving, with 61 events. The first is a two-day $150K guarantee, $250 buyin, and three starting days (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday). It’s immediately followed by a $600 buyin $200K guarantee event.
• Thursday the 29th is the start of the closest WSOP Circuit event of the year, at Harveys Lake Tahoe. None of the 12 events have guarantees, and there’s no HORSE bracelet this year, but even the non-ring Seniors event last year got 254 entries (and was won by Camas’s Debra Pulley), so there should be plenty of tournament and cash action to justify the trip.
