Vegas package satellite - Boyle..Sunday 21st June

[muscles]

Four Of A Kind Poker (Carlo) are running a tournament that will be something like the Vegas dream package offered on Ladbrokes at the moment. A package worth €4800 will include Return flights to Vegas with ten nights accommodation(approx €2000) for two people(at least this gives the winner the option of bringing someone along), and €2800 to spend on main event satellites in Vegas or in any other way he/she wants!

I would appreciate any feedback regarding the structure of the main event. I've tried to give as much play as possible considering its only a 1 day event.

16. Blind timeframes: 40 minutes all the way

17. Places being paid and if any prizes are other than cash (free entry to other tournie, merchandice etc): 1 Vegas mini package for every €4800 in prize pool - 1 package for every 15 players.

18. Are there going to be dealers - and their level of skill: Dealers on all tables.

19. Will there be a documented list of rules: Yes

20. Is there a tournament director: Yes

21. How are disputes handled - who has final say: Tournament director has final say on all matters

22. Accommodation Details: For anyone thats interested in accommodation, pm me and i'll give you details.

There will be hot food provided for the dinner break and some light refreshments served later on in the night.

The winner(s) of the package must be available to fly to Vegas between the dates 25th June - 29th June. Exact dates can be arranged to suit the individual.
Like last years event, there will be a no cash alternative instead of the package. If we get less than 15 players, then it will play as a normal €350 freezeout.
So basically if your not interested in going to Vegas(during the above time frames) for 10 nights with €3000 spending money then this tournament won't suit you.

Any interest in a feeder staellite to this??? Maybe hanley's some Monday night???

[fourofakind]

Thanks for putting this up Muscles. Talk to you soon.

[bobflatley]

Any word on Satts. for this Musc?
Carlo, is there at least one package guaranteed regardless of no.s?

[fourofakind]

Bob, the story so far is that I've got 5 players already sat into the Main satellite, and have another two weeks of qualifiers, so that should be another 2/3 tickets. Plus I've 4 seats pre booked by outsiders that will be coming to play it, so I'm 92.8% confident that there will be the 15 players required to get a package out. If not, then it will be a standard cash payout.
So to answer your question...no there's no guaranteed package Bob.

[bobflatley]

Spot on Carlo, thx for reply. I should have looked at no. 11 anyway which clearly states no guaranteed prizepool!
I'll only be playing this if I Sat. into it but very best of luck with it as it's a good prize.
