Final Table Date Oct 19, 2002 Buy-In $500 (with $500 Re-Buys) Number of Entrants 134 Prize Pool $234858 Tournament Details In San Jose, Costa Rica, site of the WPT’s Costa Rica Classic tournament, it is legal to carry a gun. Thankfully all arms have to be checked at the door before you can enter Casinos Europa, but that didn’t stop the fireworks inside. One hundred and ten players from all over the world took part in the event. From the beginning, it was obvious this was going to be unlike any other event on the tour. As opposed to the rest of the WPT’s scheduled stops, this tournament was a “Re-buy” event, meaning players could replenish their chips as they were getting low, an opportunity which almost everyone took advantage of. Despite the low buy-in cost of $500, the re-buys soon pushed the prize pool up to $235000. Many of the familiar faces on the tour were knocked out before the last day, leaving only two Americans and 4 international players at the final table. Bringing a commanding chip lead of more than 5 to 1 over second place, the Casinos Europa’s owner himself, Don Luis Milanes, was the crowd favorite.
