got 2 bullets and will try for a third wednesday online (50 seats guaranteed)...playing Sunday then take it from there...I think they might struggle to hit the 2500 entries with the sky tourny on at DTD.

Played yesterday and busted after nine hours, back later in the week for another shot

One ridiculous rule which is my only gripe - regged players were not put in play at the start but they were seated...they were given six levels to show up or their chips were withdrawn and their entry held back for another day...this resulted in my ten seat table playing 7 seated for several hours while the empty chip less seats sat waiting.  Really cannot see the benefit in doing this.

That's my only gripe other than that fully enjoyed it until I busted

Change of plans and playing Friday instead.

I did think this was a bit odd from watching livestream/videos.

Also it's partly a supersat. Maybe people don't want to or can't play the event it sats in to.

Any ideas if Goliath is sold out?

Mate finishes work at 1 and was going to try and late reg.

I believe they've capped the runners at 800, and there's already a big waiting list, so he'll be lucky to get in :)

Post by: smurf on August 15, 2014, 02:23:25 PM
they said if you reg before 4:30 they will seat you...800 seated and 200 alternates so very busy
