Fair play Ciarán. We knew you were hired for a reason

carfax · 29-08-2008 5:37pm

We are going to do up a book (both a betting book and a physical book that players will be able to read through on arrival) on the event guys.

Click here to give us your details....If you have won a WSOP bracelet and don't tell us about it we will be most upset

We have 361 players fully paid for this tournament so far. Only 47 days to kick-off time.

We're aiming to get over the 650 mark by mid-September. This will mean that a serious amount of cash will be added to the prize-pool by BoylePoker.com (so long as the registered players play even a few small online tournaments or a bit of cash)....

Thats great I did not think you could do that.

At the moment its about 230 for Day 1A and 130 odd for Day 1B. Once day 1A fills, Day 1B will be the only day available.....we are expecting the tournament to be completely full before 1st Oct (we are well on target for this if last year's numbers are anything to go by)....

:mad: Whatever man, whatever, you just concentrate on scoring goals this season.

371 now anyway.....That's 133 for Day 1A and 238 for Day 1B

Its going up by ten every time I log on

_________

Just so everyone knows, we will be scouring the country dragging as many poker players as we can find into BoyleSports offices to deposit their buy-ins and get themselves registered for the tournament. We are aiming to have 700 people fully paid up before 15th Sept. We think once we get to that point it will only take a week or so to sell out completely....

If you plan to play and you have not already registered you should do so now. I know its tying up the €150 for a few weeks but its better to know you have a seat than to risk missing this tournament (in my humble opinion

).

Hi Rob,

I'm not even going to write an email to Ciaran on this one. He will probably have you sorted in about 0.6 seconds. We have a load of players coming over from Luxembourg by the way, thats in your neck of the woods

Stephen.

My internet went down when there where 6 left going for the 4 seats and we all had 5-8 BB's.

My neighbours are going to be looking at me strangely tomorrow as howling "NNnnooooooooooooooooooooooo" isn't totally normal for me.

Got back just in time

No bother, I posted this a few pages back in the thread but I know it gets complicated reading through pages and pages of posts (you can't open more than one thread about one event here though, you might get a few complaints

)

The rate in the Regency itself is now €145 for a double room (there were a number of triple rooms at this same rate but they are booked out at the moment I think)....Any of the hotels or B&B's are within walking distance or very short drive to the hotel. Hope this helps;
