what is the structure?
I would guess similar to APAT.
Added value aswell, because I"m planning on playing it. ;)

YUM YUM
-
sounds good think this be worth a spin
-
I hope to be able to treat myself to this, if i can qualify or get lucky enough to afford the entry.

Guys,
Does anyone else find the satellite setup for this event quite restrictive ?
Only on a Sunday night, $120 for a $700 package.
Would more players try to qualify if there were satellites for seats only ($400)
Say $50 freezeouts, or $20 rebuys ?
I want to go back to Betfair with a suggestion, any thoughts ?
-
With you totally on this.
$10/$20 rebuys sound much more "user friendly".
I personally like the "expenses" bit as it makes for a free weekend!
2/3 seats guaranteed & i think more players would give it a go.

Hi Leigh,
doing some math on that, where does the £2100 out of the prize pool go? is that paying for the massage basically?

I see what you mean, doesn"t quite add up. I"m not aware of any additional fees being charged. Might just be a lack of calculator skills at Betfair. I will ask the question though.
-
Having a $50 freezeout or a $10/$20 rebuy sounds a good idea. I"d love to qualify for London and would definitely be interested in playing some of these.
-
Right, got to the bottom of the payout thing. It was originally going to be 160 runners, which is £36,800 (£37k). Max capacity has been slightly increased, no one changed the detail.
-
I have spoken with the powers that be at Betfair, and they are happy to setup some additional satellites, but I"d need to be sure that there is the demand for it.
Suggestions are
$50 Freezeout for either a $400 seat or a $700 package
$20 Rebuy for either a $400 seat or a $700 package
There wouldn"t be any guaranteed seat/package with these, so if we didn"t get the runners, then it would just payout the cash as normal. I might be able to talk them into having them without any reg fee aswell.
This all comes down to the demand from APAT players, so let"s be avin" yer ;D
-
REBUY ;D
-
Freezout please.
-
Either, just no turbo pleeeeeeeezzzzzzz :D
-
Yer, forget the turbos! Start at 9pm be nice!!
-
Once im back from the Spanish adventure this weekend, i"ll seriously consider playing this.
-
im up for either but for the $700 package think the extra cash goes a long way to paying for hotels and travel ;D ;D
-
Rumours are that this event is selling very quickly and they are expecting a sellout.
Don"t be fooled by the numbers showing in the Betfair lobby as seats are being allocated and sold in a number of ways.
I"m told that there are about 35 seats left for direct buyin, with a further 20 allocated for satellites.
So if you want to play, I suggest getting a move on.

Any word on this yet Leigh? Noticed todays post says that seats are selling out but that some are saved for satellites, are these just going to be for the Sunday night sats or are they planning others?
Certainly be interested in playing sats for this but as someone else said, no turbos please. Don"t mind turbos but with big fields they tend to turn into bingo.

I think that we could swing some extra satellites, but the response on here certainly hasn"t been enough yet to make me ask.
We really need 10-15 people interested to make it a starter.
-
im interested too add me to list please
-
Have you tried asking elsewhere on the forum? I don"t normally look at this bit and only stumbled on it by accident.
Failing that just make it a $10 rebuy with me, you and Tony. Invite Duke and we can guarantee at least 2 seats. :)
-
I would most likely play the $50 freezeout for a package.
-
Interested

The "extra" tournament is now in the Betfair Lobby for tonight at 8pm.
It"s a $5 freezeout , with the winner getting a $400 ticket for a seat at Betfair Poker London Live!
The seat is added value, with the prizepool then split normally from 2nd down, depending on runners.
I"m up ridiculously early tomorrow, so may not be about to see the end of this tonight. Good luck everyone.

Wish this wasnt on valentines weekend :(
-
I know quite a few who would play either of the satellites think there be plenty of interest and the more apaters the better
-
Anyone else get a similar email ? It states it is username specific, so don"t think I can share the exact details ?

I already have a seat, but this looks great value to play.
Can you transfer seats ?
-
I have transferred seats before for other BF live events so I guess there will be no problems.
I am hoping to have won a seat already through the raked hands frenzy that ended yesterday, just waiting for the leaderboard to be updated.
TBH though I have had enough of poker after yesterdays push to try and win the package, 18 hours of 8 tables HU
-
Sean,
Did you get a chance to eat?
I struggle 2 tables for 18 minutes FFS
-
Can you enter this if have seat already ?
-
can someone pm me password please
-
I an REALLY pissed off that I didnt get an email, ive been trying for weeks to get a seat and even bought in incase it sold out. Ive qualified for Sundays game and according to the site it looks like its been cancelled.
I dont think I will bother now.
-
I understand there are a few APAT"ers attending this event, has anyone booked a hotel yet, or can suggest something reasonably priced (around £100 per night) close to the venue?
