The Eglinton Casino Annual Team Event

Theeglinton

It's Back !!!!


The Eglinton Casino are running a team event on Friday 13th March 2009.
There's €25,000 guaranteed for this event.
Entry fee is €225+€25 per player with 6 players per team. It is a NLHE freezeout and will run as a two-day event. Starting stack is 8,000 per person and blind levels are 30 minutes.
Last years structure meant that the top team wasn't decided until the last three players were remaining. It gives every team a chance and creates a great atmosphere.
There will be individual prizes given out for top finishing players also.

Registration is open now. Any person entering a team must pay a €250 non-refundable deposit in order to secure their place. This event was sold out two weeks prior to the event last year. It is strictly first-come-first-served basis.

All teams must be paid for in full by no later than 11pm Friday 6th March 2009. If a team is not paid in full by then they will forfeit their place and the next alternate team will take their place.
A full list of rules will be available on the night for all players regarding what is allowed and what isn't. Rules will be slightly different than normal tournaments.
A TD will be there on the night to ensure fair play and all disputes will be handled by him/her. TD's decision is final in all matters.

Anybody wishing to enter a team can contact The Eglinton Casino on (091) 569222 or email info@theeglinton.com

Hi Flipper,

Just curious as to what odds are you offering? Surely it couldn't be even money for any team up against what is clearly the creme de la creme of Irish and European poker! I mean, two IPC champions, two ECOOP champions, a serial online tournament pwner and The Kid ... you'd have to be offering at least 13/8 to get any action, I would have thought?

KP

Guys, I'm not sure if this was mentioned already. Apologies if it wasn't.

Every team needs to wear shirts with their team name displayed clearly on it. This helps us distinguish players when we are breaking tables and will move things along quicker.
It also adds to the event as players can spot the teams easily and can 'hone in' on their target!

It doesn't matter if it's a t-shirt, shirt, hoodie etc just once we can identify your team easily.

Thanks,

Caroline

can we just run into dunnes or pennys and get ridiculous hats?

Im sure KP's team will wearing panamas.

Work away.

Although I hear ridiculous hats are all the rage now so you might want to go to a more exclusive shop than Penny's or Dunnes...

Once we can distinguish your team easily and quickly I don't mind what your team clothing is.

Caroline

Theeglinton

Crunch time guys.


We have deposits for 14 teams now and there's about 15 more teams that have said they're definitely playing.
If you haven't paid a deposit yet we can't guarantee a spot for you.

You have a few different ways to pay. You can call into the club or phone and pay by laser/credit card. Or if you prefer to do an online transfer you can transfer with Pokerstars and Boylepoker.
PM for full details or phone (091) 569222.

Other than that its shaping up to be a cracking tournament.
But I have to say I'm fairly confident that MY team will take it down
(despite what flipper thinks)

NickyOD

I'm playing now as a late sub for Team Gold Club. Someone had to step in to carry their sorry asses. :pac:

SpencerJames

Team BUndy!!

this comes from the guys hoping they run as well as Ted Bundy!

He went over 100 murders before being caught! now thats running well!!

Theeglinton

After a lenghty discussion with Bobby the Limerick team have changed their name to " the switchblades"
I talked him out of various names such as " the backstabbers" ," the limerick slashers" , the " lets give it a stab gang " to name but a few......

All I'll say these lads are on a knifes edge ( sorry , sorry , sorry )

Theeglinton
