Hi neill,
It say Main event registration 5pm/event starts 4pm. Just booked flights for the morning assuming it starts at 4, otherwise the evening flights would have suited.

For anyone out there wondering- Ryanair fly Dublin to kerry 3 times a day. Currently selling for around €45 pp return that weekend.

Well it is the "Official" thread

eoin-dubh

how about bringing in the triathalon ??

texas hold'em - backgammon - chess ??

Jesus Wept

Regards the payout structure, I don't follow the 6 Tables/8 Tables.

Will the tournament be 6 handed once you get down to 60 players if the number of entrants was 500 - 650? Or does it mean something different?

Thanks

That is more certainly NOT what this states. I think you need to clarify this bit as it is misleading.

Direct Buy In -U can buy in Direct for $850 which gives players straight entry into the event or u can choose the premium package for $1250 which allows players to avail of 2 nights accomadation and the main event seat. These two options are available in the Winners List.Players please note players can only register for this event Online and seats will not be available at the venue.
