I didn't see it, but actually I think this is the kind of situation where it might just be very bad play rather than anything sinister.

He has a big stack; he's going to qualify unless he throws it away. He's probably tempted to sit out just to stop himself doing anything stupid! If he's big blind with a poor hand, he might just autofold to a raise without really even looking at the amount he needs to call.

Might still be worth reporting it in case they have "previous", but I wouldn't be holding my breath.

well i have got an email from Everest which reads...

Dear Gary,

Thank you for your inquiry. We are researching this matter concerning
your WSOP question and expect to have a resolution shortly.

Thank you for you patience and for your ongoing participation at Everest

This was a reply to my email i sent earlier requesting confirmation as to whether 23 or 20 are paid.

However, with you both having $3k in ur accounts I imagine that is confirmation of the package.... well done to you all!!

THANK YOU PL

I'll echo that, cheers for the railing and a big thank you to the guy who kept isolating my all ins when I had a half a big blind left!

So what happens now? when do we find out our start day?

That's poker-site-customer-service-speak for "Don't ask me! I haven't got a fcuking clue! I'll ask somebody on Monday if I remember."

Yep big thanks to IP of course. Who's turn is it to actually read it next month

on my cashier page transaction history it shows 1x WSOP entry in addition to the $3k so I'm starting to celebrate a bit

it was just such an anti-climax not knowing at the immediate end

worse than that I'd been regretting folding JJ when were about 28 left 'cos was convinced the big stack would call with any old **** and suck me out somehow

and of course when it looked like I'd cocked up anyway it's just another thing to beat myself up about (in addition to Boro leaving me with practically nothing when his JT beat my AJ)

Morls - I do now need to go and talk nicely at work. Anyone know the last possible "Day One" I might be able to play ?

Big thanks from me from all the great support we were getting (and I'm sure I missed a lot of it because my eyes were shut after certain raises). I know I shouldn't single people out but comments from GeordieGaz and SteveO really helped when I really needed them - thanks I owe you

Well done to the other qualifiers

[Dave488]

Congratulations guys

Enjoy vegas

[gazza]

Remember you'll need some time off in November as well.

I'll sleep on it and then do nothing in the morning (that's my usual routine !).

Only thing I would say though slap is that he was more than happy to get involved in pots, flat calling several people several times, and from (my very poor) memory every one of my BB for the last few rounds.

Don't think milber will be too impressed if he ain't eligible to play, considering it was him who basically crippled him and probably cost him winning a package, still thats poker i suppose.

Lol. Mine. I have to check for mistakes

Duncan - as they are one of the few sites that are buying you in directly they may well put you all in on the same day. I know Ladbrokes players are all on day 1c for example. I will ask my Everest contact on Monday what the score is.

[Reeshah]

if anyone could add some pressure on Everest over the possible chip dumping and possible 20 year old player id be very grateful. it was my mate that came 24th and the chip dumping looked blatent to me and surely if this lad is only 20 then he isnt elligible unless he turns 21 this month. My friend, "clementsg" isnt a seasoned player and doesnt really know what to do about this but would really appreciate some help getting the package he deserved, id feel really bad if missed out because we didnt follow up on these breaches of rules... how do the rest of you see it? does he have a case?

Congrats the succesful 4!!! have a great time in Vegas and bring us back a bracelet!!

OK, that makes a difference. As I said, I didn't see it. I still doubt very much there's enough evidence to convict, though, unless he folded a premium hand or he has a record.

Thats one problem sorted then - at least you won't have to take the $10k in cash -

Point to note for any of the others that have won seats through various sites, that last year they didn't take Credit or Debit cards and you had to buy in with cash - (or borrow it from a helpful magazine editor ).
