South Point casino features Poker Tournament

To lure away players from various Station Casinos, South Point is holding a $125,000 Christmas Freeroll poker tournament at 7:00pm on December 13th and 14th with the final round being at noon on December 18th.

Play 100 hours of cash games now through November 30th to receive qualifying entry and T2000 chips (pay the usual $10 into the gratuity fund for T1000 more). For every 50 hours of additional play, receive T1000 chips.

One can also gain additional chips by playing at South Point more often:
500 hours will get you T2000 more chips.
Play a tournament and get T50 more chips.
Play 25 tournaments and get T500 more chips.
The player who plays the most hours will get $1000 cash.

Tournament will generally have 30-minute levels and a $5 knock-out bounty.
Chip leaders on the 13th and 14th will receive 500.00.
The top fifty players will win at least $300. First place wins $35,000, second place wins $15,000, and third wins $10,000. No chopping until 10 players or Final Table.

As usual, players are responsible for signing in and out at the podium so that their qualifying hours may be logged. South Point's usual comp rate of one dollar per hour will continue.

Please note: Since most of the prize money if not all of the prize money will be going to South Point (a/k/a Sweat Point) loyalists the tournament is really being deceptively touted but considering the usual lack of forthrightness in disclosing the truth to casino patrons in Las Vegas this is rather a minimal issue.

As usual, advantage goes to those with deep stacks and in this tournament loyal South Point players will be able to enter the tournament with very deep stacks.
