The Falcon and Wade Schwendemann are helping to organize the event. I have a prior event that ends at 10pm, but I will of course come and play in the tournament.

And as a little bit of side fun, there will be a Bounty placed on me. Meaning whoever knocks me out of the tournament wins the Bounty, and the award for doing so is a Trentslayer trophy, a 2019 10x Treasure Chips token, and a Potion Condensed Healing (donated by Lazlo).

How many players?
There will be a maximum of 32 players (at 4 tables), so respond to this post ASAP to reserve your seat!


How to enter?
The entry fee is 1,000 GP (loose gold is fine). Your 1,000 GP will be collected and exchanged for 5,000 GP worth of Trent Tokens Poker Chips!

How to play?
The rules will be standard Texas hold 'em poker. There will be up to 4 tables, each table will have a dealer with a maximum of 8 players per table, and the players will be randomly assigned.

The blinds will start at 50/100 and increase every 15 minutes. There will be a 5 minute break after round 4 (we plan to be done by midnight).

Do I get my 1,000 GP back?
No, not unless you place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd! Once you turn in your 1,000 GP and start playing in the poker tournament, your entry fee of 1,000 GP just became a prize for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!

What if I'm thirsty?
Soda and water will be provided. And if I can work out the logistics, maybe I'll get some pizza delivered as a late night snack. :)

What if we need a ruling on anything?
Besides the 4 dealers, we'll also have a Tournament Director on hand who will make any necessary decisions.

Can I rebuy back in?
Yes, for 1,000 GP but ONLY during the first 30 minutes. Any player can rebuy back in if they bust out within the first 30 minutes of the official start time of the tournament. The official start time will be tracked by the Tournament Director. Once the first 30 minutes has elapsed, there will be no more rebuys.

What if I have more questions?
Ask them in this post and myself, The Falcon, or Wade will answer!

Not sure, I don't drive when I attend conventions, but I assume the hotel has parking.

Does "sounds like fun" mean you want to reserve a spot?

Really looking forward to this,
