private wpt satellite tournament series

PIRANHA · Jul 08,2008, 12:08 PM

Starting this Sunday July 13th at 1pm, and running every 2nd Sunday for total of 6 days...a points WPT tournament at my Georgetown Ontario area home. 1st prize is $10,000. WPT seat, 2nd prize is a $1240 WPT satellite entry. Possible winnings at the WPT event are split 50% to player, and 50% distributed to other club members.
Limited membership to this private event, max 12 players. Daily tournament fee is $100, with 3 winners...and fee for WPT points participation is $200.
Absolutely no rakes or other fees...all entry fees are distributed to players.
We have eight confirmations so far, so there is still room for a few more players.
Prof poker table, chairs, software, chips all provided.
Let me know if interested, and full info can be forwarded.
Should be fun, educational, and potentially profitable for all of us!

btw, the satellites are no longer running (suspended indefinitely) and whether the tournament will actually take place is still a question mark.

we're hoping the Niagara WPT does take place as originally scheduled, but if it doesn't, it's highly probable that a similar tournament will replace it, under the auspices of another organization...perhaps CPT, WSOP, or Europeans.
If it's cancelled, or unacceptable, our seat will be redirected to another WPT or CPT event agreeable to our members, and perhaps will then include necessary travel funds.
Thanks for your input pokerJAH.

Thats a cool concept.... so hopefully the best player goes on, and even if you do lose, you still might win something if that player cashes. Great idea!

Glad you like the concept...we think it will work for everybody...It's a private "club" concept, so it'll only be as good as its members, but we're all very optimistic and enthusiastic. I'll let you know more as the events progress.
Meanwhile, we still need a couple of players if anyone is interested.
By the way Graham, I still haven't been able to register into the CP event at Pacific...did you give them my info? (not PIRANHA) Tks.

Agreed. PIRANHA, I'm back from Las Vegas so I'm in. I may not see you on Friday, so please email me before Sunday.

Thanks to PIRANHA for hosting the rake-free games. With almost all of the participants as non-forumers, one of them won the first game, while the elminated players like me had the option to play games on the side. In the likely event that the Fallsview $10K event will not happen,

the two leauge prizes will be the $2,100 and $1,100 buy-ins to the Great Blue Heron Casino. In case anybody wants to join the next rake-free games on Sunday, July 27, contact PIRANHA (or me).

FYI, congratulations to BlondeFish who has won the second game!....And is now the points leader heading towards WPT Niagara. (and I am in second place). Second place finisher will represent the group at Blue Heron in October.
Next play day is Sunday, August 10th at 1pm, and we will still welcome non-tournament players to our "fun" game that usually will be in full swing by 4pm. Actually, there are also 3 seats still available in the points tournament, should anyone wish to join in, by back-paying the two missed play days.....With five more tournament days left, there's still lots of room to win the seat to WPT.
