rosco Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Re: Prague Poker Palooza Yeah I registered for the sat too only to see it cancelled. Not keen on the terms and conditions thing either. Does anyone know any more details on the tournament, start times expected entries whether they are all going to be at capacity. Defo playing in the first two, then probably the main event too.

VC Poker Manager Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Re: Prague Poker Palooza Good Morning All, I see there's a lot of interest in this festival so this is just to make clear a few things. Firstly, with regard to the festival leaderboard; this is a separate chance of winning some cash if you play in all three festival buy-in events. The details have yet to be finalised but basically points will be awarded to players in each of the three events with the overall points leaders receiving the prize pool set aside for this part of the festival. However, in order to be eligible to win any prizes under the leaderboard, you must play in all three buy-in events. Secondly, there is €10,000 added to the €500 event on the Friday. Finally, we will be enhancing the Super Satellite package later this week so stay tuned for an update on this in the next couple of days which will see a lot more value added to each satellite prize package. I can't say any more about this just now but the enhancement will certainly make the package a lot more attractive and will hopefully inspire more players to sign up for the satellites. Good luck all and remember that if you want to buy-in direct, just contact our customer support. Also, if you buy-in direct and then win a satellite package, we will refund your direct buy-in. Andy.

Hi Andy thanks for your help and info, we all appreciate it If i can make a suggestion would it be looked at for us? Although im looking forward to seeing what the enhancements are, is there an opportunity to start some sats up without too much added value where just the buy ins are included? This way it reduces the number of players needed to start the tourney, may reduce the buy in and may get more players playing it? I know william hills do this with the carribean poker classic where they offer sats for the full package, along side the cpc lite packages where just the buy ins are included. Just a thought:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VC Poker Manager Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Re: Prague Poker Palooza Good Afternoon Everyone. My apologies for not logging on of late but I am currently on holiday and taking it easy;). Anyhow, the enhancements to the Prague prize package have now been made and can be viewed at http://www.vcpoker.com/tournaments/prague-poker-palooza/index.htm Morlspin, with regard to your suggestion, I will look into it in more detail upon my return to the office next week and see if there is anything we can do in that area. Just to sum up though on the current packages; satellite winners will win the $2,500 prize package as before which includes buy-ins into all three buy-in events. They will also receive a seat in the $25,000 Freeroll on the Thursday and be eligible for the $10,000 leader board competition. All this plus the €10,000 added to the €500 event. Unfortunately, seats into the freeroll are reserved for satellite winners as they are limited in number so if you're buy-ing in direct you will not be eligible to play in the freeroll. You will however be eligible for the leaderboard comp and of course the added main event prize money. All the best, Regards, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Re: Prague Poker Palooza Was hoping to make one of these a focus game - but they're either STTs or Rebuys, so ineligible (except the SuperSat, but the buy in is probably too much for a "mass event"....)

VC Poker Manager Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Re: Prague Poker Palooza Evening All, In answer to your various questions; Mr Intensity - Yes the freeroll is the sameas the student championship final - basically, we have made 12 seats into this event available to satellite winners. The event will still be restricted to 50 runners. Burnley Joe - Yes you get VIP access to the party and yes you can buy-in at the casino during the festival week. We are expecting approx 60 - 100 players in each event. Rosco - to buy into all three events would cost you €935 Kind regards, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
