Will the other 6 players for the Bonanza final table be from Internet Qualifiers, or professional players etc.,?

Ollieboy

each seat at the final table is worth 8333.33?

In your satalite, you'll be given aways seats to the value of 25k? is this correct?

if you get the 81 runners, will there be additional prizes?

Whats the break down of the 75k on the final table?

so many questions...lol

Ace2007

Its all explained on their website ollie....

Can they multi table the final table?

Yeah it was absolutely pi$$in down after I stayed late in work to play in this. Got there, drenched (umbrellas don't mean sheeeeyat in this kinda rain), rushin up the stairs at 9.05 - "I hope they let me play"...

Place was bustling, excellent structure, extra tickets added n everything*

*Not true - There were two runners waiting to play.

ionapaul

I didn't even try to make it in as I have to be in work early* tomorrow morning and would rather try next week instead or in early September, what with this lovely summer weather.


*have to come in at 9am tomorrow instead of 10am...someone please call the union! I am NOT a morning person....

Any clarification on this possible scenario?

Hi there,

I believe players will be able to play in the Betdaq satellite on Sep 7th and should they fail to win a place at the final table they can then try entering the SE satellite on Oct 10th.

However, should you win a seat in the Betdaq qualifier you will not be able to enter or win another seat in the SE.

It is essentially 2 seperate satellites to the final table so there is no conflict of interests in playing the 2 satellites in an attempt to win one seat at the Final Table.

NB: There is a €25,000 purse to be divided among the 7th - 200th place finishers in the Betdaq qualifier too.

€75,000 will be to play for at the live final table - the combination of the 3 SE qualifiers and the 6 Betdaq qualifiers.

If you have any other questions just let me know.

Ross Glacken.

Lets see if i can make it two in a row with the sats now, me and Rory played a blind omaha for the ticket the other night and he won but turns out he couldnt make it so he gave it to me.

And if anybodys form is good at the mo it surely is yours

Should hopefully get a few runners and lots of tickets.

NuckChorris1

Hard luck last night Danny - one 80% hand and you would been able to sit back and wait for a ticket, not to be tho.

Question on the Sunday game - 100k stack and 60 minute blinds. Even with just 9 players, surely there a big chance this won't be over on the night???

The blinds start at 600/1200 with an ante so it will defo finish on the night.

Goldcupfav

Gettin a little bit ahead of yourself there Ronan still have to get through Friday night before even thinkin about Sunday !!! Well done with getting ticket last night.Im sure i will see you in Jackpot later .

Unlucky last night Dan that fish could miss last night !!!

NuckChorris1

Not getting too far ahead of myself, just doing a bit of research as wasn't much better than the lads who didn't even know it was a satellite - i'd no idea when it was on. Am now a member of Betdaq tho, just in case

Sure with both of us looking to head out on sat night or have a decent stack to come back to I smell ACTION!!!! (On Fri that is, see ye in Jackpot for rockfest).

As far as i know i think they have given out about 20ish tickets so far through their satellites. So as to as many will turn up and pay straight in is up in the air, i asked Jeff last night would there be any satellites before tonights game and he said yes.

NuckChorris1

23 thru the sats.

43.

I went out in 15th, crippled after losing a 50/50 (a10s v 33), and then running 10's into Aces for the second night running.

Cat O'Neill second in chips when they come back today, yet another brilliant performance by the Girl Wonder of Irish poker who survived early card death and being down to 4K at dinner, so good luck to her today.

Any breakdown on the final table?...
Congrats Cat your running well. long may it last .. good luck today...

I wasn't there at end last night, so just going on conversation I had with Rob Taylor this morning. Vera busted out in 11th apparently.

Chipleader, unknown, the guy who coolered Rob with a sneaky utg raise with 89 leading Rob to think his bottom set was good on a 6710 flop, has about 73K.

Cat 51K.
Daisy O'Grady circa 30K.
Troy 28K.
Kevin Farrelly about the same.

Don't know who the others are.

Goldcupfav

Chipleader would be me.. Hand against Rob dont think i was utg was mp if i remember correctly. Anyway hit the dream flop and he was just very unlucky.

Good luck to all left in!!
