Don't try to play the 28th. Just nap that afternoon/evening and drive out that night. You can decompress from the road and have another nap before playing in the morning if need be.

It's not worth killing yourself (or others) literally for, or trying to play a focused game after driving in a trance for 6 hours.

Step 4 seems wonderful, and think it's the best part of your plan.

I knew my friend made the final table, but judging from the above photo full of Fallsview/Brantford regs (including a forumer), the bracelet winner is probably from the GTA too.

Unfortunately, I won't be going to this Festival. :'( I hope there will be Survivor and other non-reentry events during WPT Montreal in November, so that my friends and I can play a bunch of events then.

I just saw that they are adding extra seats to the sattys

How does a Win & Go work?

All you have to do is buy in to one of our $110 + $10 or $220 + $20 single table Sit & Go satellites! Once all players are seated, but before dealing the first card off the deck, the TD will spin a special promo wheel. Depending on where it stops, Playground Poker will add anywhere from 0 to 2 EXTRA seats to the prize pool!

Think most of the slots won't be awarding a seat? Think again! 80% of the wheel slots will award either 1 or 2 extra seats to each Win & Go!

Imagine that – a $220 + $20 Sit & Go that will award 4 out of 10 players an entry to the $1M Guaranteed Main Event!

Win & Go applies to all Sit & Go tourneys starting Wednesday Aug 27th at 12pm. But you have to hurry – once the 15 seats are gone, they're gone forever!

Oh that is good news... They must be way short of the guarantee again....

That's an awesome promo.

I'm sure it's hard to tell exactly if they are going to fall short or not, and giving away free seats doesn't really help them reach it, but it should attract a lot of ppl to their SNG sats.

I'm sure they don't make a killing on tournaments as it is, they probably hope to reach the gtd, fill the room, then hopefully get everyone in a cash game afterwards.

Link, please? If only I had known about this earlier, I would have made arrangements to drive to Playground today instead of having made an appointment already for a "Drive Clean emission test." :(

It was in a email I got from them this morn. I would think they would have something on website

I have gotten Playground emails before, but there is nothing this week or in the website. :-( It's too bad as players like me would have played Win&Goes. Instead, I'll be playing at the CNE Casino today to take out my frustration.

Maybe they are trying to tell you something?

They sent out an email, maybe a couple months ago, requiring you to confirm that you would still like to receive updates.

Something in the laws that changed recently. I had several companies send similar emails around that time.

Without confirming you were likely taken off the list.

I got the email 2 1/2 hours before I posted the promo here and was kinda surprised you hadn't posted it before had a chance to

Ok so there are a few questions in here that I can address.

1. The mailing list - UBetIFold is exactly right - Canadian anti-spam laws changed and we made the assessment that although our list was *probably* fine that we would adhere to the best practices in email marketing and make sure that we had explicitly had everyone opt-in to receive marketing emails. So we sent out an email with an opt-in button (I think it was big and said YES) and torched the rest of the list.

2. If you want to join the list, you can do so by signing in to our website and opting in there. Use your existing Player's Card, fill out the rest of the form including your email address and then hit submit and you'll get an email back with a link for you to create a password.

3. There is a good reason to join the list and to pay attention to the emails - everyone on the list is in for a monthly draw! Some months it will be hats or other clothing and other stuff like that, but a few times a year it will be a free entry into a $1.1K tournament!

4. The Win & Go promo was totally last minute but not due to any attendance fears - we just found that there was some budget that had been allocated but not spent, so we decided to whip up a new promo that we thought would be fun for players. The whole thing went from 0 to finished by about 7 tonight.

5. I'm pretty confident in saying we'll be doing it again! The whole thing went over extremely well.

That I should stay home in Ontario and play the juicy games with you?

Satellite day today was (still is - the last one starts at 8pm) juicy. Revised total number of sat seats going into the Main Event: 311, +/- 5 depending on how far past the guarantee we get tonight (there are already 20 seats guaranteed).

hiphopopotamus

So is anyone else here or am I the only one? Playing the satellite tonight and 1c tomorrow.

mikelbyl

We need 477 tomorrow to cover the guarantee, and while this is far from impossible (we had the same situation in the Spring for the WPT Cdn Spring Champs and covered), it still represents great value for players!

If the old 1a+1b=1c holds true, you'll get there.

Smart having fri-sat-sun instead of thurs-fri-sat
