The list is updated twice every week at the moment. Just contact customer support (for now as Ciarán Corbett is off for a day or two at the moment) to double check but I would imagine that if you made the extra 50 points in the last two/three days that might explain why your total is incorrect.

Happy days; 791 seats sold right now. They've slowed down a little bit but we might get a big rush when we get over the 800 player mark. Please remember that once we hit 1,000 players there will be no more seats available for direct buy-in.

100 extra seats for both starting days have just been released

[TightEnd]

Boylepoker.com today announced it was releasing 200 more seats for direct buy in to the International Poker Open – 100 for day 1A and 100 for day 1B.

With the first 1,000 seats for the 1,300 player event on the brink of selling out the company has decided to allow 100 more players to buy-in directly on each of the starting days. After these seats have gone the only way to play the event will be through online qualification at the site.

Paul Spillane, head of poker at Boylepoker.com, said, “We’ve made the last minute decision to release more seats for direct buy-ins due to popular demand and the speed with which the remaining seats were selling out. This will be the last chance for people to buy-in directly and will enable more players to book flights and accomodation well ahead of the event while giving them more choice on the day they wish to play as well as the chance to accumulate the extra chips.”

With two months still to go before the $225 + $25 buy in event at the Regency Hotel, Dublin from October 16 to 18, 2009, 847 players have now registered for the IPO 2009.

Online satellites for the International Poker Open 2009 are running daily at Boylepoker.com. Players can qualify for the $25,000 added, $225 + $25 buy in event from just $5.

 

Feeder satellites for day 1B take place each week on Monday and Wednesday at 8.30 p.m. BST for $5 + $.50 with one re-buy and one add-on. For every $27.50 generated in the prize pool a ticket will be awarded to the weekly super satellite, the $25 + $2.50 freezeout, each Friday at 8.30 p.m. with one ticket awarded to IPO day 1B for evey $250 in the prize pool.


Additionally there is a $10 + $1 with one rebuy and one add on on Saturday at 8.30 p.m. with the winners (a ticket for each $250 in the prize pool) automatically entered into IPO day 1B.

 

Players wishing to play day 1A can participate in the Sunday and Tuesday $5 + $.50 with one rebuy and one add on at 8.30 p.m. This feeds into a Thursday $25 + $2.5 freezeout super satellite with one ticket awarded to day 1A for every $250 in the prize pool.

This year’s event features a unique twist. An innovative VIP Club points promotion gives players the opportunity to increase their starting stack at the live tournament in Dublin in October from 8,000 to 10,000 by simply playing at Boylepoker.com during August and September and accumulating VIP Club points.

Players who earn 250 VIP Club points in August get 1,000 chips added to their starting stack of 8,000, and 250 VIP Club Points earned in September gives them another 1,000 chips bringing the total to 10,000.

In 2008 the Boylepoker.com IPO set a new world record for the largest ever poker field outside of the U.S., with a massive turn-out of 1,300 players. It was Irishman Ruairi Coy who came up trumps to take home the €37,530 first prize from a total prize pool of €205,000, of which €32,000 was added by Boylepoker.com.

To register for the tournament simply download the Boylepoker.com software, open the Poker Lobby, go to 'Scheduled Tournaments' > 'Specials' > 'Boylepoker Exclusives' and choose your preferred start date. Registration is due to close on October 15 so players should register early to avoid disappointment as last year’s event sold out long before the closing date. No cash entries will be accepted on the day.

Bought in last night (Wiiiii) and gonna be grinding out my points soon.

Any other blondes playing?

I heard it took Kinboshi 2 weeks worth of daily 6 hour NL cash sessions where he 12 tabled 6-max before he raked enough points. Could someone confirm?
