dobbin Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 THE PPP OLYMPICS Time to start taking your "special supplements" and keeping a spare bag of pure urine on your person at all times in case the inspectors make a surprise visit, the PPP Olympics are on the way! We’re lighting our flame on August 8th (just like that other, smaller event will do over in Beijing, China...I believe it is a sports festival of sorts) and for the real poker athletes out there, we’re serving up a full week of different money-added tournaments, culminating in a giant Gold Medal Freeroll on August 15th @ 9pm. We’re awarding over $20,000 in cash and prizes over the entire week, so register today! You can choose from a variety of Hold’em and Omaha freezeout and rebuy tournaments, all costing $5 + 50c to play, with differing structures to suit everyone’s tastes, while the final PPP Olympic event will be the PPP Marathon $10 + $1 (5k starting stack, 15 minute blind levels) with a tasty $1,000 added to the prizepool by your favourite poker room! And that’s not even the main highlight of this feast of poker! Yes, we’re making qualifying for the Gold Medal Freeroll as easy as possible. To be eligible to play in this tournament of champions, simply take part in at least three of the preceding week’s PPP Olympic events, listed below. You’ll still have to manually register for the freeroll on the day itself, but with an Irish Winter Festival package, dozens of Super Satellite tickets and tokens and $10,000 CASH up for grabs, that shouldn’t be too off-putting, should it?! The PPP Olympics are all about pride, glory and scoring some free cash! Register for your chosen events TODAY!

avongirl Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: PaddyPower Olympics Specials Most likely will have one of the freezeouts as a BPP event. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGremlin Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: PaddyPower Olympics Specials Dammit... bloody PaddyPower doesn't allow Dutch players to sign up on their pokerroom :( Guess I won't be joining you guys, not the BOTS tournament later :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: PaddyPower Olympics Specials :( Doubtful there would be more than 2 BPP games on Paddys (one of these and the BOTS) so hopefully won't affect your challenge for the title.

avongirl Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Re: PaddyPower Olympics Specials - BPP Focus Game Tues 12th - SLALOM KAYAK Tuesday's BPP game will be the PPP Olympic $5+$0.50 "slalom kayak" NLHE freezeout. 1500 chips/10min blinds. There is $250 added plus if you play in 3 of the events you also get entry into a freeroll on Friday. They are already about halfway through their schedule and a lot of the events are rebuys, so if you want to try to qualify for the freeroll you might like to consider playing the Pot Limit freezeout on Monday at 7pm too. The full schedule is in post 1 here. The 2 tourneys which ran Sunday got 66 and 70 runners (one Omaha and one a rebuy) so hopefully there will be at least $3 added value pp. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
