if anyone is interested in buying a ticket PM me. cheers.

I think you should make people aware that you are not selling a ticket and that you are having an auction for a ticket. Its always good to see the vultures waiting in the shadows to take advantage of genuine poker players for their own personal gain.
i really hope your left with it

what? did he not say he'd take 500? or did "someone" ruin it?

pokerkingsni · 24-09-2008 11:37pm

I think on the other thread it says "i'd be happy with 500+".

This is possibly what Damo is referring to.

"I will be selling the ticket for 500 euro. If anyone is interested get in touch. Cheers"

"im quite happy with 500+ for the ticket."

This must be the confusing bit.

Nothing confusing about it . I recieved a pm from the seller to say that it was up to €625 and he would be taking offers until monday . Confusing , i think not.

Damo let me know who the seat is being sold by it will be released by me and money sent back to the person . I do not mind seats been changed but that will not happen seats must be sold for Face value only.

Hey Eoin,

As far as i know there will be alternatives for this. Not sure if you can reg in advance for the alternates list, my guess is you'll have to turn up early next Friday.

I'd just like to thank Neil for going well out of his way to help me get regged for this. Really appreciate it.

And congrats on getting that field size locked up. Amazing achievement - I'm sure it will be an amazing tournament.

Lloyd,

Do you want to do a last longest for this and the IPO? If its 1 each, we call it quits but it either of us outlast the other one in both tournies then we pay up?

How about the loser has to fork out for 5 beers, a kebab and taxi fare home from town some night before the christmas?

babymaker6 · 26-09-2008 5:09am

how about you and Lloyd sharing a taxi to killarney?

How about you worry about getting yourself to Killarney and not worrying about me! I'm thinking of flying down anyways. Depends whether i can get off work on the Thursday to play the satellite or not. If i can, i'll just get the train down

how about doing a thread for each event, say €50 per a man...

YULETIRED · 26-09-2008 11:51am

Have you no work to do Ollie ?
I'd be on for a last longest but for the 50 Euro cash . The night out thing looks like 3 is a crowd sort of thing , babymaker may have hit upon a sore point judging by Tonys reply...... Beer and Kebabs Tony? what about your lovely new figure.?

Last longest anyone? (for cash not Kebabs)

I'd be up for that, if someone is willing to do the organising and collecting the money. I've done this before and its not worth the hassle tbh!

Lloyd always gives a good challenge in a last longest bet! Nah Willie 3 isnt a crowd lol! Fergus just hates being left out of anything! I'm hoping to organise a beers night out for a few boardsies before the Christmas and i'm sure Lloyd would be up for it so it will be a free night for me :P

I agree, the hassle is not worth it.

Connie or Neil, would you be able to arrange this on the day and get the money collect from the players on the starting day?

We could set-up a thread of who's interest and than just collect the money on day 1 as the event starts or a reg desks if not too much hassle?

Cheeky to ask!!

lol Ollie,
far to Cheeky,
Neil will be shining up his Microphone, while Connie will be strolling around with a big cheesy grin on his face.

In fairness though it would be way too much hassle, they are going to up to their neck

zuroph · 26-09-2008 12:25pm

BIG-SLICK-POKER · 26-09-2008 4:59pm

Please Note the MAIN EVENT IS NOW FULL and has 760 players fully paid up with Ladrokes to add a few to this.

We are getting alot of phone calls for seats but im afraid neither Connie or Myself will be able to help from this Point . We have refused over 100 entries for the main event in the last two days.

Please note that there will be an alternates list in operation at the event, This will open on the Friday 2nd october prior to the start of the main event.I will announce what time registration will open for the Alternates list in the coming days. We will try get as many players into the event as possible at the event all dependent on how many get knocked out.Alternates will run for the first 3 levels with players not incurring a chip penalty

Sorry to all who missed out on this event. We still have the two side events on the Saturday and Sunday. Registration will open for these events at the venue on the Saturday and the Sunday of the event, We are not taking registration for side events prior to the event.

Hi Ollie,
Having never dealt with a tourney with these amount of numbers before, I've really no idea how mental it's gonna be..

But as boards has been a vehicle that we used to promote this tournament, I'll only be too happy to oblige my fellow boards members and collect and hold the funds for the boards last longest at our fesival ME.
Most boardies should know me by now, and if they didnt meet me before, there definately gonna meet me this week.
So I'll be there, notebook in pocket.

Just 2 questions:
1)-I presume, regardless of excuse, only those paid up prior to start if tourney are eligible?
2)-I also presume this last longest is between members of boards.ie poker forum only? Or can other people enter it ie: a boardie approaches me with his last longest entry fee and one of his friends wants in as well?

Hope that helps

Connie
