All right Guys and Gals

I left you with a teaser of what we have been planning for the first half of 2012. As you look it over just rememember a sold out tournament advances 12 players to the Main Event. If you win a seat, it is the player that registers the ticket with our Rapid Rewards Players Club that Plays.

Oh ya just so you know, I have not released this to the Gamimg floor yet. They will find out next week.

If another person uses their player card to register (even if they did not win the seat), then it is effectively transferred, no?

Thanks for offering another series of tournaments near the GTA! I expect lots of forum members will be playing in these and making the final tournament.

Hey All

Main Event will be open to 120 and yes you can win more than one seat. Thought the first post would explain that. Players club does all of our registrations but we are not issuing the seats to the winners names, we only use players card information for tracking who plays in our tournaments. Hope this information helps clear things up.

Will we be able to buy in directly to the $2100 Main Event through pokertickets.com?

cardsrusa · Nov 20,2011, 09:08 AM

Yes tickets are on sale now for both the satellites and the main event.

My one question is, what are you going to do with all the Satellite events once this caps?

This is pretty big news for Ontario and I would anticipate a sell-out well before the event as players won't want to miss out, with the limited seats. It's big enough to get people traveling in too.

Will you just pay cash if it sells out?

cardsrusa · Nov 20,2011, 11:51 AM

If I am reading your question correctly, you are asking that if demand for players wanting to by straight into the main event surpasses seats allocated will we cancel a satellite seat. I would say yes. It will be the later ones first (April then March .....). Hopefully we will not need to do it, but we did mention it in the flyer.

We will probably run the tournament and pay out the prize board in cash, if it sells out early. This is our first real run at satellites for a big event. I am not expecting any hiccups but stuff happens.

Just trying to make events better in Ontario for you guys and gals.

Has anyone played events here? Can I get a report on how well they're run? I might come in for the 2K in May.

In terms of tournaments they have all been well run. There are still some inexperienced or slow dealers, but the bosses all have good poker knowledge and decision making.
