Jon "Skalie" Kalmars Live WSOP qualifier- Blackpool Saturday 24th 6pm

[ariston]

Jon Kalmar (skalie) has organised a full package for this years wsop and we are running a private live satellite at the casino in Blackpool for it. This is provisionally booked for the 31st of may but because this clashes with Poker Million qualifier at Leyton Orient I am going to try ad switch it to Saturday the 24th.

The competition will start at 5pm prompt and buffet will be provided as well as house dealers.

Structure will be 10k starting stack with levels same as GUKPT but a 30 minute clock not an hour.

Buy in will be £500 + £30 and after the cost of the package is covered for the winner all money left over will be paid out to 2nd,3rd, 4th etc.

We are capped at 30 runners for this as we can only hire 3 tables and dealers for the competition.

Package includes- 10 nights accommodation from the 2nd July (extended free of charge if you are still in the competition), buy in to the main event, £1000 cash for flight and all the associated bonuses Skalie has organised (cash awards for making final table/top 100 etc). You also get use of the lounge, welcome party, excursions etc.

Anyone who is interested please PM me and I will pass your details onto Skalie

Ok I have confirmed tonight we will be running the satelitte on Saturday the 24th starting at 6pm. The buyin is £500+30. Please PM me to confirm if you are planning to play as we are limited to 30 runners and I already have 10 confirmed.

Starting stack will be 10k with a 30 minute clock run to the GUKPT structure.

Prizepool is to be confirmed at the start of the event but we have been allowed 2 packages if we get the maximum of 30 runners with a cash prize for 3rd. 

If we dont get 30 runners the remaining money after the cost of the package for 1st will be paid out to 2nd 3rd and possibly 4th depending on numbers.

Package includes accomodation at the Rio for 10 days (extended free of charge if you are still in the main event), £1000 for flight, main event seat, use of Ladbrokes lounge and mentoring by the team of pros, bonus awards for going deep in the main event (free $14k package for next year if you make top 100, $250k for making final, $500k for top 3 or $1million for winning), welcome party at the voodo lounge and also other excursions like bowling etc.

The Big weekend is on in blackpool the same weekend so you have a competition on friday and sunday as well if any members are travelling to blackpool for this event.

shouldnt this be in the "live poker" section?

[ariston]

will be moved there shortly but with Jon being sponsored by Ladbrokes the same as the sponsor of this board it seemed appropriate to put it here first.

Can you take the cash equivalent if you place 1st or 2nd?

Just curious...
