Hey Alex,

Is there any tournament league rakage that I need to know about?

Thanks

Olly

Ollieboy

looks good.

Just a point, would it not be better to have the main event starting on a Saturday to allow people travel instead of leaving work early on a Friday etc. If its only a 2 day event, it can finish late on the Sunday and only the final table have a problem Monday morning.

I should be along what ever happens.

The Tourist

Any online sats organised for this?

BigCityBanker

Sporting Emporium

Grand Final: Wednesday 19th, 9pm, $100 + $10 freezeout, 2,500 starting stack, 14 minute levels. Minimum 6 players

Dom, as per the other thread these sat will be in the lobby on Weds 12th - we will use the prevailing rate on that day. Now it would be approx 1 seat for every $715.

ty, i get a little annoyed at not being able to play them.

Conbro

The aquarium are probably being slightly optimistic in expecting this tournnament to run for 2 days. It will be one hell of a HU match if it does

bottom feeder

FWIW i think this should be a good game, nice starting stack and good structure etc - i'll be in to donate, good work Alex, Noel

S.Emporium

Only 4 Satellites left for the Main Event starting with tomorrow night's €50 Tournament.

Quite a few tickets have been given out for the Satellite so hopefully at least 4 tickets up for grabs.


Sorry about not getting back to you sooner Olly.K but there will be no Tournament League or anything else taken out of the Prize pool.

considering a rare live outing for an attempt at a ticket (if Satellite King Ionapaul isnt playing ), how many runners has this sat being getting?

It would be too depressing to head in and find 7 runners or something equally shyte...

copperfacegaz

no danny dead money defo here..:)

El Stuntman

job done, ticket secured with Nonny (sp?). 16 runners, two tix and 350 for third.

I reckon I deserved it having had to listen to Ektor's nonsense for over five hours - crippling him on the final table was most pleasant

Moneymaker

Hopefully ill play one of these and provide some value. Looks good.

WD No wonder you were in tears listening to Obama. Just the sheer relief of not listening to Ektor would do that to a man!!

ionapaul

Well done El S - might play one of these things over the next few weeks. Am getting seriously lazy when it comes to rousing myself to drive in for live poker.

underthegun

hi,

i won a ticket last year for one of the end of month 500's that used to be held there. i still have the ticket i got and was wondering would i be able to use it towards the payment into the main event

thanks

Congrats once again, was gutted would of loved to have scooped one! I had said to you, Vera and Ecktor wont be around to much longer just gotta watch out for Noni, whamo ran into her

He was very annoying last night, when he wouldnt give you change of the chips that was a little strange I had to play cash with him then for the next while and listen to him some more, while he does all the loot!!!!!

I know people have used tickets before for other stuff. Example, somebody had a ticket for last nights satellite but couldnt make it, they have been allowed to use it the following week.

With you ticket being from last year it might be a little more difficult best thing you could probably do is to ring the Emporium 01 703 0600 and ask to speak to John or Alex and they should be able to give you an answer.

underthegun

yes i will give them a ring

hope it will not be a problem

thanks tyler

I dunno - I think he was annoyed that my QQ 'outran' his 96 on a 876 board when he pushed for about 3 * the pot on the flop. Must say I had never seen him that bad before (he was also abusing Noni on the FT - 'why you raise with the Aces?' - and constantly annoying the dealers until Jeff told him to shut up) but then again I am hardly a regular these days so maybe that was normal. In fairness to him, I did win almost all my big pots for the evening off him!

Well done... at least you got something for listening to Ektor, I think he was trying out a new lucky arron jumper (following in the chiefs footsteps), don't think he realised that pink is lucky not grey....... whyyy you know lika my jumperrrrr.....

Just found a picture of the woman who knitted it for him, apparently she’s under contract to the Chief too..

tylerdurden94

^^^^^

I swear i thought he was gonna freak out at one stage.

It's a site to behold, watching him blow a gasket... not really the worst though.. At the end of the day everyone is trying to take the other guys chips... Some people just go about it a different way...

be very boring with chrs like Ekctor, The Chief, The General, etc, etc

As the man said if you look around the table and don't see the fish, it's probably you(me)

ionapaul

Anyone interested in buying my ticket for the main event off me? Don't think I can make it for that Friday Earlier this year I sold a €550 ticket to a boardsie for €530, but with the recession and all I'm looking for €520. PM me...

Should be the qualifier as usual tomorrow evening and another on Thursday evening. IIRC, starting stack is 3k and top-up / add-on is 4k. I'm selling a ticket if anyone is interested; though might just turn up and play!

another reminder for the ppl out there - feeders continue tonight and tomorrow night at 9pm. Grand final on Wednesday night. Already 10 people qualified for the final via the feeders so we should hit 3 tickets in Wednesday nights game.

BigCityBanker

Grand Final is tonight folks at 9pm, It is a $100 + $10 freezeout. 2,500 chips and 14 minute levels with the blinds starting at 5/10.

There are already 14 people registered so 2 tickets are guaranteed, there should definitely by 3 tickets and depending on late interest we may squeeze a 4th one out. 1 Ticket for every 7 players.

mick84

BigCityBanker quick question
