Virgin Poker Festival - The Punters Lounge

GotaFancy? · 06-07-2007, 11:06

How cool does this look? 24th/25th November in Birmingham.

£105 two day deep stacked main event
£5,000 added to prize pot plus loads of Virgin bounties including flights to Vegas.
Low buy-in side events with added value
Free bar

More prizes are yet to be confirmed.....

Looks like it could be a right PL Paaaaaarty here!!! Virgin will kick start the event by giving PL 2 free tickets (agreed in principle - we just need to work out the format through which they will be given away)

staffy · 06-07-2007, 11:41

As its my Birthday weekend 1 of the tickets should come my way.

GotaFancy? · 06-07-2007, 11:45

It is looking probable that you wont be able to buy in direct for this (subject to change) and that qualification will be mostly through online sats (starting in August)

staffy · 06-07-2007, 11:54

Thats a shame. Looks like a cracking event.

I think it's a good way of doing it ..... it will be massively over subscribed - better to have a poker tournament to earn your place than the "fastest finger first" system APAT use IMO

staffy · 06-07-2007, 17:16

Very true I guess. Focus games for August sorted then.

msaban · 06-07-2007, 18:53

looks very good, time to transfer some funds to virgin

Sounds Really good, I spoke to Joe Legge about this in Edinburgh.

teaulc · 06-07-2007, 19:12

so what we looking at?,150 - 200 seats and about 1000 plus playing for them? odds of 5-1

i dunno much abouts odds etc but will probably be a better way to get them

GotaFancy? · 06-07-2007, 19:36

They think that there will likely be in the region of 150 places.......

Think it will be a string of events - not just a single MTT satellite (though I could be wrong)

The Virgin Poker Festival Birmingham
------------------------------------
Hi Joe,

This is your chance to join Virgin for a weekend
of poker and fun at the Virgin Poker Festival in
November at the Broadway Casino in Birmingham.

There’ll be no muddy fields or pouring rain – what
we can promise is:

- £105 two day, deep stacked main event.
- £5,000 added to main event prize pool.
- Virgin bounties including flights to Vegas and
Virgin experience days out.
- Two side events with added value.
- Bad beat jackpot.

There are no direct buy-ins for this event,
therefore you’re going to have to hit the Virgin poker
tables to win your seat to the event through our
satellites (priced between $2.50 and $23).

To mark the launch of the online qualification
we’re having a Virgin Poker Festival giveaway week!

Two main event seats + 20 weekly final seats to be won

It COULD take $2.50 though morl

If online players are THAT bad, then you will prevail sooner rather than later ..... take tonights freeroll - 5 PL'rs in the top 10 - that's not chance (and it's not "weight of numbers")
