If you want me to reserve you one then let me know. At the moment there are 150 seats paid for/reserved.

Same applies for anyone else. I will reserve one without payment to any member of boards until 1.30pm. Any unpaid for reserved seats will be sold after that time.

ntlbell

That's great Mike

PPP have added another satellite. This will be the last one (online) tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 9pm $30 Freezeout - 15 minute rounds

EDIT: One ticket is guaranteed. 5 places have been won in each satellite so far

Mike the gap between 1st and 2nd prize even talking the ticket into the equation is a bit small IMO. Maybe 1st €12200+ticket 2nd €7500

bombinator

where is this touney taking place
sounds like excellent tournry
where can you book/buy/reserve a ticket

NickyOD

Can't wait for this one. Don't know if I'll be sober enough to play my A game though. ... not that that that would make much difference.

I don't want too big a gap, encourages deals. the structure should allow it to be played out. if I made first bigger you can almost g'tee a deal will be done 3 handed and the ticket played for.

I tihnk its an excellent structure Mike. Looking forward to it. I think though that Scotty has a fair point. The gap between 3rd and 2nd is nearly twice the gap between 2nd and 1st whcih is unusual.

You can but I would get there early or Reserve a seat. I have been getting calls from all over Ireland reserving places this last few days.

Mike,
you laying in this your self?
should be good craic indeed.

mewso

Sorry Mike doing clean up. This is for the sub forum even if we would prefer to give your tourney the front page.

Ollieboy

Hi Mike,

What time do you think this will finish at?

If its anything like Citywest, it will be about 5 am.

If I PM you later can I get you to hold a ticket for me?

No problem Ollie, I don't see it going on that late but you never know. As long as we start on time and are strict on breaks I'd say 3 at the latest.

Doc Farrell

Glad to hear the Boyne Valley won't be shutting you down at midnight. I was afraid of that.

I like the payout structure, very much. Otherwise deals would definitely be done. But I do hear the concern about the gap between the other prizes.

Shortstack

For some reason I cannot edit the post. However I am going to change 2nd place to 18% and 3rd place to 12%. So for 200 players payout will be:

1st €11100 cash plus €1800 WSOP qualifier ticket
2nd €7740
3rd €5160
4th €3440
5th €2580
6th €2150
7th €1720
8th €1290
9th €860
10th-18th €570

Take first exit off M1 for Drogheda just after sign which says 'Toll 8km'. Follow road to Drogheda, Boyne Valley is on the right just as you enter town. If you reach the black bull you have gone too far.

Question for PPP (or Mike):

If you win a ticket but cannot play that month, will it carry over to the following month? Interested in playing but never sure of my availability so far in advance!

PPP-Pit Boss

I wouldnt wish to open up a can of worms by advocating this. So from our perspective, unfotunately not. The problem for us would be that if we permitted this for this event. Why not for all? "Sorry cant make the WPT Tunica.. can I play in Las vegas instead?" "No" " BUT YOU LET XXX DO IT!"
Sorry to be the harbinger of rules and regulations but it would have the capability to turn into an administrative nightmare.
I refer in my post only to online sats to the events. Mike will need to answer the question with regard to offline sats.

ionapaul

Makes sense, thanks for the reply!
