Looks like the Plaza's scheduled $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em tournament did go off, although it turned out to be perhaps the world's most-expensive Sit & Go in the end.
The Plaza had planned to have a $50,000 buy-in event as part of their "World Poker Classic" event. However, turnout at the various events during the Classic were somewhat disappointing, and many began to doubt whether the Plaza would even have any people to pull off the big time final event. Turns out, they did manage to find 11 people to play - and that turned the event into a one-table tournament, winner-takes-all.
PokerNews.com has more on the event, which was won by Randy Lewis of Las Vegas. He took home all $550,000 for his efforts (Plaza took ZERO juice on the event...very nice).
