Must sell out if I am going to play these

Prefer payment on Stars, but bank transfer ok too.

Booked, I owe you £60, so you now owe me £14.50 if I play.

Don't leave the country.

What's the breakdown of the 2 packages please Keith?

Buy in and expenses?

Yes.

If I win a seat I'll send the corresponding % of the expenses money to investors, as all I need is the train fare.

Hotel is included I assume, although not exactly clear from the stuff on the registrations page.

So how much is direct buy in to the 2 events compared to package value?

Any links to the tournaments?

Don't think there's a link, but they are in the Stars lobby.

Managed to find something for the EPT one but not the UKIPT as yet.

It's an £8200 package for a £5250 buy in but as you said it doesn't say how much is for the hotel and how much is cash.

Will have a think and probably end up missing out.

will usually say like $700 for first place in lobby - this will be cash element

Ha, just clicked through.

It doesn't say anywhere - but I am assuming they are taking out £2544 for a hotel for six nights.

Which is pretty unbelievable (unless there's an overlay)

So I'm going to cancel this.

£406 cash!!

Sorry to have helped ruin this for you but looks like a decent swerve if you aren't bothered about £400 per night hotels :D

Says that there's also buy in + cash sats as well but haven't found any as yet.

Will likely buy a bit of one of those if you have a go and sell at spot again.

Ha!

Good ferreting by the Russell bloke, & a wise cancellation.

UNBOOKED

Tweeted it.

Unbelievable unless they are putting up qualifiers in the Mandarin Oriental.

Pretty bad that they don't make it clear anywhere how the prize is broken down.

If your tweet gets to enough people and there's a big overlay are you going to late reg?

Ahh, NOW I see Lord Russell's cunning plan.

Hahaha, that would be pretty sly!

Doubt it will overlay - only needs 49 players to make the guarantee but if there's 25 I might ;)

Someone just tweeted me

@GraStuart 1m

@keiththecamel And if you book through EPT Hotels which is part of Pokerstars hotels are from £168 to £320 per night

How do they justify charging sat winners at least 25% more than people who book through their website?

If anything it should be cheaper for sat winners, because they are paying rake!
