I listen to Mike Palm on VSiN most days. Good info and handicapping. Anyway he says one important distinction among others in the Circa contest is they will not give away any free entries, even if short of the 1500 break even point. Not to high rollers, not even to Brent or the guys at VSiN. He now predicts 1300 entries but Derek will still pay out 1.5 million. If somehow they exceed 1500 entries the extra is also paid out as extra. No rake. Best contest by far.
