At a casino, NEVER reach in to grab chips from the pot…wait for the dealer to push them your way. While I can’t swear to it, fairly sure that if someone opened the betting on the river, they’re the first obligated to show…if river was checked around, then first clockwise from button would be first. (However, I don’t recall ever seeing a hand where no one was willing to show their cards and someone had to be forced to be the first.)

There’s several ways you could do it, but I’d need more information to give you some ideas.

Like how much time do you have, how many tournaments are you going to run, and how many people are going to be showing up at your tournaments.

One way, you could run weekly tournaments for say 6 months. The entry fee, something like . goes to a prize pool for the tournament, and goes to a pool for the WSOP prize package.

So if you ran a tournament every week for 6 months, it would be around 24 tournaments. You would need 100 people for each tournament to get ,000, which would be for a ,000 entry fee, and ,000 for expenses.
