Archie,
I just talked to David Hriscina (The Orleans poker room manager) on the phone. He said he thought my count of 8 open tables was about right. He does want to get a count on this Thursdays tournament & have me call him back on Monday. So, I'll know more then, but, it looks like if we know there will be more tables available to us then The Orleans will take more sign-ups to begin with. If David says we can have 8 tables then that is 88 people who could play. As far as the dealers go, he said that since they knew about the tournament AND now he also knows there will be more interest, that he will have all the dealers we need. At this point I would bet that everyone gets in............Andy - Las Vegas
