Apologies for late response. For the benefit of any doubt all registration fees and prize fund deductions for both the main event and high roller events have been clearly advertised on the WPT website.

 Main Event £300 fee + 4% prize fund deduction. At no time has there been any attempt to hide this fact. Intervention by the police would be most welcome. The Gambling Commission have been contacted in this matter.

With regard to agency dealers, they were contracted through Prestige. All terms and conditions were emailed to to each dealer prior to commencement. Any agency dealer with a grievance should contact Prestige directly, who will reaffirm terms and conditions.

Any player or dealer who wishes to contact me to discuss may do so. I will not take any telephone enquiries, as I cannot be sure of whom I am dealing with. Anynonmous allegations will not be answered.

  The quotes attributed to me in this post have no foundation in fact whatsoever. The OP can by all means contact me personally to discuss.

  I am the person responsible for this event, including the WPT and Bellagio team contracts. The Bellagio team were responsible for 15 % attendance of the Field travelling from the US including P Ivey. No one can argue the attendances and cash action were less the disappointing, creating a significant loss to the Palm Beach. The Partouche event in Cannes had a big impact on the numbers. The buy in in Cannes was EU 8500 with EU 1500 taken in juice per player.

 Lessons will be taken from this event, I made no agreements with any of my staff regarding deductions. For the benefit of any doubt this weekend the EPO buy in is £3.5k with £250 taken in fees, no other deductions.
