GaF Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 How cool does this look? 24th/25th November in Birmingham. £105 two day deep stacked main event<?xml:namespace prefix = o /> £5,000 added to prize pot plus loads of Virgin bounties including flights to Vegas. Low buy-in side events with added value Free bar More prizes are yet to be confirmed..... Looks like it could be a right PL Paaaaaarty here!!! Virgin will kick start the event by giving PL 2 free tickets (agreed in principle - we just need to work out the format through which they will be given away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Re: Virgin Poker Festival It is looking probable that you wont be able to buy in direct for this (subject to change) and that qualification will be mostly through online sats (starting in August) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Re: Virgin Poker Festival Thats a shame. Looks like a cracking event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Re: Virgin Poker Festival Thats a shame. Looks like a cracking event. I think it's a good way of doing it ..... it will be massively over subscribed - better to have a poker tournament to earn your place than the "fastest finger first" system APAT use IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Re: Virgin Poker Festival Very true I guess. Focus games for August sorted then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaulc Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Re: Virgin Poker Festival so what we looking at?,150 - 200 seats and about 1000 plus playing for them? odds of 5-1 i dunno much abouts odds etc but will probably be a better way to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Re: Virgin Poker Festival They think that there will likely be in the region of 150 places....... Think it will be a string of events - not just a single MTT satellite (though I could be wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
