They treated their biggest tourney of the year, The Four Corners Championship ($600 buy in), like it was a $50 daily tourney. They started an alternate list even though they could have opened another table or killed a limit cash game to let all the alternates in on time. All of us did get in but had to wait several levels, and several would-be alternates didn’t bother buying in. I won’t be traveling to Albuquerque for this tournament again. Save your money for an HPT or WSOP event.
