This news may come a little bit late for some of you but there is a 40$ buy in special tourney tomorrow night 0000GMT (i think its something like 8pmEST) with rebuys available at 20$.
There is likely to be some $$ added as 7777$ in prizes is guarenteed and unless there are loads of rebuys it shouldnt reach this figure.
They have also introduced Heads Up tourneys since I last visited them. This is great particularly for European players who normally would only get to play in their BJ sngs if they were willing to start pretty late at night as otherwise they would struggle to get the 5 people required at any given level.
2 people can be got together pretty easily also with 2 people and a 5% rake it is reasonably easy to play for positive expected value by the time skill factors in. Just remember that sometimes you need to go against optimal BJ strategy particularly in the HU game as the real importance is the difference between stacks so sometimes doubling up or splitting in borderline situations is best avoided if you are already ahead for example.
