morlspin Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 TAKEN FROM TIKAYS BLOG Good afternoon. Good news, & bad news. First, the bad news. The SPUKT is no more. RIP. Now, the good news..... Instead, we now have the Sky Poker Tour - SPT - bigger, better, & with a snappier name. The official Media announcements will be made in the next day or two, but here's a sneak preview for you Community regulars. An SPT "Landing Page" - similar to the Viva Las Vegas Micro-site we ran last year - will be up & running in the next 48 hours. I'll let you know the URL, & Post a Link, as soon as I know it. So, a few what's whats. Where & when? Leg One - November 7th 2009, G Casino, Manchester. Leg Two - January 9th, 2010, Aspers, Newcastle. Leg Three - March 6th, 2010, G Casino, Luton Leg Four - 8th May, 2010, Alea, Glasgow Leg Five - 10th July, 2010, Aspers Swansea GRAND FINAL - 11th & 12th September, 1010 - DTD, Nottingham. Note that whilst the dates are confirmed, ALL dates are subject to change. This is unlikely, & will be done with reasonable notice if done at all. All legs are on Saturdays, one-day affairs, but the Grand Final will be a 2 Day Event, Saturday & Sunday. How much? The Seat Value for Legs 1 to 5 will be £100. The Seat Value for the Grand Final will be £250. How to enter? Entry is by QUALIFICATION ONLY, via Satellites on Sky Poker.com. The Satellites for Leg One will be in the Poker Lobby within the next 48 hours. If you do not qualify for an Event, you are still more than welcome to come along & rail the players, & the Play The Presenter SNG's & such like will be open to all. Seats will not be available for purchase via the Venues. Presenters? Yup, there will be at least two of the On-Screen Presenters &/or Analysts at every Event. They will rotate, so all being well, all the Presenters & Analysts will attend at least one Leg. PTP Sit n Gos, at affordable prices, (£5, £10, £20, plus 10% Reg Fees), will run at every Event, as soon as the Presenters exit the Main Event. For legs 1 to 5, 125 seats will be released for Satellite qualification. 5 Seats will go to the Venue for a Live Super Satellite. A further 20 seats will be set aside for Presenters, Media, Pro players, etc. Should there be any "spare" seats, these will possibly be released via "last-chance" Super Satellites on Sky Poker.com. We hope that one or two "Pro" players will be at each Leg, this is subject to their availability. For Leg 6, the Seat Value will be £250. The cap on the field size for the Grand Final will be made known later, but I imagine it will be well over 200 runners. The Prize Pools for each Leg will be Guaranteed. The Guaranteed value of the entire SPT will be not less than £100,000, & there will be considerable Added Value. The Top Three players at Legs 1 to 5 inclusive will be awarded with a Grand Final Seat. All Prize monies for all Legs will be paid direct into Sky Poker Accounts no later than Midnight on the Monday following the Event. Cash prizes will NOT be paid at the Venue. The Sky Poker Channel 865 Camera Crew will be at every Leg of the SPT, & the content wil be aired on Channel 865. Sky Poker will run a Web-Based "Live Update" for those unable to attend, so you can follow your Sky Poker buds via that, as it will be an interactive Update. The Welcome Desk, as used last year, will be at every Leg, just make yourself known upon arrival, & you will be given your name Badge, &, we hope, your Table & Seat Draw, upon arrival. There will be a free buffet for all Qualifying players at every leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualification for the 2nd leg starts next week so pay close attention to the Sky Poker site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooblio Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Re: Sky Poker Tour 2010 How did you end up Mark ?? What was the organisation and structure like ?? 20/150 Paid top 15 :sad Gets a bit turboish towards the end, when i went out blinds were 2000/4000 ante 200. BB i had 45os, someone raised mid table (Maggiesdad), was tempted to call as i only had 2 1/2 BB's, but decided to pass. Next hand (SB) i had 66., everyone folded upto dealer, who probably had 2000 more chips than myself, he raised allin with A3, i instantly threw allin, and BB folded. Ace on flop :cry Winner got £4000, 10th - 15th got £250. I will be trying for Aspers :hope These events really good though. 3 snooker pro's in plus sky presenters, plus entertainment from TK :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
