Burnley Joe Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The end of season Football League playoffs are underway, and in anticipation of the intense action happening up and down the country, our Poker Playoffs are here! The Poker Playoffs cover the Championship, League One and League Two playoff games, so you can enjoy the football with a bit of Poker on the side. Each league has it's own Poker Playoff schedule, with four semi-finals feeding into the main event. Check out the satellite trees below for full time, date and buy-in details. PLEASE NOTE: If you qualify via Sit and Go Tournaments or Daily Freerolls (where specified in the satellite trees below) you must click the "Confirm Entry" button at the bottom of this page to validate your entry.

GaF Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Am I stupid? :$ I've read and reread this (and looked on the WH website which is identical info) but cannot work it out :$ I can play all 3 Play off finals? If I go the SnG route - I have to win 5x$10 SnGs or just have to enter 5x$10 SnGs, or cash in 5 of them? Same questions with the daily freerolls? (though with 452 entrants so far tonight, and entry costing 10 points, not a great freeroll to play!!) If I qualify for the final, do I still have to buy in, or do I win the buy in? Can I (and thus others) buy in directly for the final, or can you only enter if you have pre qualified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May If I play/cash/win 5x $10 STTs, does that get me into the championship and League 1 Playoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugleh Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May I did not understand this either - at least how the semifinals work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Or better - if I play 3x$20 Double Up tournaments (SnG STT?) do I qualify for all 3 play offs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnley Joe Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Not sure to be honest will email them I have played 3 $20 Double up games winning 2! DOH, but will played the third later and then email with the results and see what they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Cheers Joe :ok If this is that the player has to buy in, but to be allowed to do so, they have to pre qualify (the top 10 qualifiers are network wide arent they?) and register through the web site button, I can see the finals being really low entry and great value :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley Joe Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Ok, played 4 and won 3 so bit of profit Email sent Hi I received the email about the promotion POKER PLAYOFFS I have now played and won the $20 double up games These were Number 295623711, 290756031 and 290808431 However, where it states PLEASE NOTE: If you qualify via Sit and Go Tournaments or Daily Freerolls (where specified in the satellite trees below) you must click the "Confirm Entry" button at the bottom of this page to validate your entry. I am unable to do so even after loggin in Therefore can you please manually register me for the freeroll on the 24th May Also, can i ask, does that qualify me for the other two league freerolls or do i have to play and win a further set of double or nothings at $10 and $5? It does not state, also could you confirm that you have to win, or do you just have to play 3 double up games or 5 sit and go games?

Burnley Joe Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Ok called them as i was getting nowhere with emails. You have to qualify through any of 4 routes for each one and then you can register and only the people who qualify can buy in to the event! Apparently So as you say, should be a low turnout i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnley Joe Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Registration is now open I spoke to some guy at Willy Hill who was really helpful and explained that if you play the 3 double ups for each, you do not have to win three (bollox I played 4 to win 3) So i guess there will be a lot of added value with these three Gonna play two of them Good luck all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Ah - I bet there's no verification and anyone can "register" - all it does is add you to a list and they will then (semi) manually check your eligibility?

What you have earned besides twice your stakes in the Double Ups you won or placed at are seats at the Championship Final and the League One Final. As per the satellite trees in Poker Playoffs promotion page (http://poker.williamhill.com/promotions/promotions/the-poker-playoffs/), you are qualified for the Championship Final and the League One final because you have won or at least placed in all the three $20 Doubles Up and all the three $10 Double Ups. However, you do not qualify for the League Two final because you only won or placed at one $5 Double Up. For you to be able to register for the Championship Final and the League One Final, you would need to go to the Poker Lobby, search for the Championship Final and the League One Final in the Scheduled Tournaments and register for them. It is true that anyone who does not wish to go through the qualifying tourneys can join any of the three finals. However, he/she must pay the hefty entry fees where as you do not.

GaF Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May So it seems I've won free entry, but that anyone can buy in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Just looking in the tourney lobbies again - it seems that the prize pools are added, not guaranteed (which is good :) ) - so the value is assured :ok This promo really has been one big balls up from William Hill though!!

GaF Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Re: Willy Hill Play Offs Torneys to $5000 Final 24th May Still nothing from William Hill - the tourney starts in 35 mins and still no token, neither have they put me in the tournament. I'll enter it anyway ($1000 added, $3 buy in and just 69 entrants so far :loon) - but anyone can enter it - what have I played the extra games for?
