Don't mind him, he is a cynical fecker. All luck wishes appreciated, some of us need it

Also, you might want to reduce the size of your signature to a link instead of an image as there is a rule that you can't have them, and if the right/wrong person notices you will be in a bit of trouble about it and may face a ban.

I presume they have a load reserved for the super sat, probably around 50 or so.

How does this affect the Super Sat?

Doubt you can answer this Dave, maybe Karl might reply.

Edit: Just saw Dom's post. Maybe so.

fabsoul

yep my guess they have 40-50 held for the super sat

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

they would prob hold 40 to 50 for super stat, that giving the fact 511 are regd (which is prob not up to date) would mean they will be maxed out for fri morning with all the direct buy in lurkers, karl perhaps you can confirm

Wisesmurf

all the ops guys are in the Burlington at the moment, I'll try get clarification shortly.
I'd be surprised if the ME was full and even more surprised that if they were quoting it as full that they were not accounting for x amt of super sat qualifyers in the numbers.

Wisesmurf

edit: Karl will clarify shortly.

my humble apologies and thanks. boards makes one cynical over time - ive aged beyond my years.:)

you prob have to pay for it

karlh

there is wireless in the Burlington for €10 per 24 hours.

as for the event, it is pretty much sold out. There is some small number juggling to do now with satellites which were held last night but we are over the 700 mark.

do not fear for the super satellite, this number includes 20 seats which are held for that so it will be the last chance to get into the main event.

best of luck everyone!

phantom_lord

so are most people heading in tonight to reg for this?

Less than 20 mins, well worth a walk, especially if the weather holds up.

Hoki

that'll do nicely , ta

Just checked into the Fitzwilliam Hotel on Stephen's Green for the weekend. Nice.

kincsem

That 511 players listed on irishpokeropen.com hasn't changed for a few days. Its well out of date.

Yes, and 4pm.

Doc Farrell

hi folks,

anyone know what time the reg opens for the Omaha today. are the blinds still 35 mins for the full tourney?

i am incapable of using a telephonic communicator. I've lost the use of my hands like Hannibal Lector in Manhunter. I'm typing this with my nose. its quite an ordeal..

5starpool

I was interested yesterday when Dan Harrington got moved to the feature table, as I had a feeling he would be allowed to wear his baseball cap, and I was right, so rules are not rules it would appear.
