Because evidently people just can't think of it by themselves. Title: Re: oops, this will get some bad press Post by: tikay on July 07, 2009, 06:40:03 PM I believe someone wrote a Blog about this issue. Can't recall where I saw it, now...... Title: Re: oops, this will get some bad press Post by: tikay on July 07, 2009, 06:46:39 PM ....but I seem to recall it started like this...... Remarkable scenes at The Rio today, on Day 1d - the last Opening day - of the Main Event. Unless you've been on the moon, you should know that today would be a sell-out. It was guaranteed, nailed on, a sure thing, the bet of the century. You know that, I know that, my cat knows that. It's not like Registration has just opened. It's been open since March. This was the scene this morning, here...... Title: Re: oops, this will get some bad press Post by: ItsMrAlex2u on July 07, 2009, 08:27:00 PM Don't wait till day 1d to register ftw? Not rocket science really is it Even if you want to play day 1d, why leave it until day 1d to sort it out??? Zero sympathy Title: Re: oops, this will get some bad press Post by: boldie on July 07, 2009, 09:14:04 PM Don't wait till day 1d to register ftw?

Post Script: Inconsistencies Kudos to Kevin Mathers for doing his homework and checking the player list from Day 1D. He posted on a 2+2 thread about four players who appeared in the 10 seat, despite assurances that action would not be 10-handed...

Re: big stars being let in late I heard that too and Flops, I know you're out there and all and probs would've seen if Antonius played but according to official day 1d entrants + a quote from Pollack on CardPlayer Antonius didn't get in. Now as you're out there any truth to the rumour that because Ivey declined to be at the feature table that he offered the other players at the table $5k each? Also did you witness the Durrrr vs ADZ patron bet?
