Pokerkings buying PL'rs into €250,000 Gtd on 22nd June - Chatoman and Dodger win seat - The Punters Lounge

GotaFancy? · 02-06-2008, 18:07

On 22nd June, at 19:00 BST, Pokerkings are running a €250,000 Guaranteed tournament with a €200+€15 buy in.

Pokerkings have offered to buy in 2 PuntersLounge Players to this tournament.

How will we decide the lucky players to get these seats?
There will be a 10 man STT at 15:00 BST on 22nd June, so 4 hours before the big event takes place. The top 2 finishers in the STT win the seat.

How do you get into the STT?
5 seats will be awarded to the top 5 rakers.
5 further seats will be awarded to the top 5 Raked Hands Players, not amongst the top 5 rakers.

The period over which rake will be counted is from 00:01 GMT on 6th June until 23:59 on 19th June.

In order to be have a chance of qualifying for the STT, you must "opt in" through the poll in this thread. The poll will close at 23:59 on 12th June and from this point, no extra players can be added.

Regular updates will be provided by Pokerkings on the leaderboard

The STT prizes will be paid out in cash (due to the short time period between the STT and the big event) - this is done on trust, however PuntersLounge (and I'm sure Pokerkings) expect the winning players to use the funding to participate in the event you have won entry to.

Good luck everyone, and thanks Pokerkings for this opportunity for our players

I'm essentially an STT player...but this offer is so good (yet again

), so I'll have a shot at the raked hands seats.

GotaFancy? · 02-06-2008, 18:27

I'm pretty confident that STT rake counts towards the rake (but not RH - or maybe 1 STT = 1 RH) - so if you play enough STTs, you have a shot at the rake side

(Hopefully McHaver can confirm for us

)

STT's do count towards the rake, it don't matter where you rake, it all counts.

I qualified once more for this

The sats running on Boss seems to be great value... they're € 20 rebuys and there are max 60 runners - 20 seats up for grabs.

If you don't want to play the main event you just unreg and get € 215 tournament credits which is as good as cash.

I've just unregged both times and have tournament credits to play for.

They run every night on Boss

Hi Gaf

is there a full list

and can you tell how many raked hands have been played?

GotaFancy? · 10-06-2008, 21:18

The intention is not to publish numbers (I do not have access to that information either), however players will be in order. You cannot identify your own number of raked hands.

I have asked for a full list - will let you know when I have a reply

Dodger · 11-06-2008, 06:56

Been giving the STTs some stick since it started but wasn't sure if that would be enough...clearly it is then.
One thing I've noticed though is just how much I've been paying for playing...it quickly adds up!
