Aaargh

I entered this without looking at the final date and can not play tomorrow

I have to unregister and get tourney tokens instead. A big shame because it definitely DOES show very good value...

Good luck to all the PL players - would be great to have one of us in the Main Event

Fred

[GotaFancy?]

It gets even better - Virgin are offering a seat to tonights top PL'r, not to win a seat to Tomorrows final

Will put it in its own thread (which you need to vote in to be considered for the seat)

I was out in 7th

[GotaFancy?]

This had 5 entrant x €25+€2.50 tonight = €137.50 buy ins.
A seat worth €275 was won.
In addition in the final €2000 is added to every €8500 package won (1 package gtd) - so we can add about 20% value on to the seat - €275 x 1.2 = €330.
I will assume no overlay in the final, though that is possible.

Value added = (€330 - €137.50) / 5 = €38.50 = about $57 added per player
