There was a bank of tables, maybe 6-8 of them. I think max bet was either $500 or $1000. I don't remember exactly what the starting bank is, but I think it was $10 k, possibly it was $25k, but I don't think that's important since all players start with the same. I've only played one of these a few years back, at Gold Strike, so I will assume the Beau will be similar.
First, I'll say that I wouldn't be playing this heads up event if I wasn't already in Biloxi to play the Hard Rock the day before.
