sly snake Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 I presume 10 tables of 9 players ??? ... so it is a very "short list" ....

SpurMan Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Fresh off the Press from Dennis: Hi XXXX, Thanks for your email. Just to confirm that the King of Poker is taking place on Wednesday 3 May at Café de Paris, and with regards to invites they will be sent out by the end of next week. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes So there you go. False alarm on the 14th April (as suspected), and this person has always been true to their word in the past, and it ties in with my suppostition that they would not go out until after the final qualifier thing on Sunday. As for the numbers, I suspect it will be 45 (9 per table) or 48 (8 per table) players, down from the 64 last year: 10 leaderboard Qualifiers 16 Weeklies (though 2 seem not to be listed on that including Bella) 4 Monthly Bounty winners 4 Monthly draw winners 4 Monthly Leaderboard climbers 1 King of the Cash Games 1 Action point Collector 1 Poker Player Final Qualifier winner 4 Poker Player home game winners If 48 I guess one or two more Poker Player Home Game Winner and one or two 'other' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 1 Poker Player Final Qualifier winner 4 Poker Player home game winners If 48 I guess one or two more Poker Player Home Game Winner and one or two 'other' As these were not advertised at the beginning of the tourney, its all to obvious why the issues on standbys is being overlooked time and time again. They simply dont want an unknown player winning like last year. If i remember rightly..the guy who took most of my stack, was a reporter invited to play..he worked for the sun he told us later that night, and the eventual winner was a standby. By giving free seats to poker player magazine winners, is at the end of 4 hard months, an insult to everyone who tried so hard playing most dailies and all weekly finals.

jarjaruk Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Thanks Spurman, that sorts that one out nicely.... panic over now, at least we're on th list!! Sly - Last year the theme was 60's gangster sytle, although I'm not sure too many people bothered that much. They might do one this year, but they might not, we shall wait and see.

jarjaruk Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Have to agree with you Morl.... at least everyone who has a seat at the moment actually registered to play in the event and put (in a lot of cases) a damn lot of hard work and committment playing in the Qualifiers and weekly final. I agree that its a hell of a shame that someone who may not have bothered to play in any of the qualy's or had even heard about the tournament, can pick up Poker Player, play one tournament, lasting a few hours and gets given a seat in London. But I suppose its all about advertising for them. I think 48 players might be a little low on the estimate front. Last year was about 68, I would imagine they would go for somewhere around that amount again - I might very wel be wrong, but the place would look half empty with only 48 people playing.

Friday, Monday, the 2nd April..... and on it goes. I hope they get them issued soon as I would like to book the train tickets, but am a little hesitant at the moment.
