I have four U$850 bullets for the partypoker-sponsored
WP500 UK, or ~C$3900. The guaranteed prize pool is £1,000,000, or ~C$1,800,000!
10% - $390 (no mark-up; depends on conversion from British pounds).
5% - $200
3% - $123
1% - $41
0.5% sweat equity - only $21.
I will refund for any unused bullets. For example, if I have a huge stack for Day 2 on my first bullet, then I will try to transfer/sell the remaining three entries and refund 3/4 of the BAP.
The first place prize in the first-ever WPT500 was $260,000, won by a recreational player. As one example, an investor with 10% can win up to C$26,000 for spending as little as C$97.50 (if I win first place with only one bullet).
I accept payment via Paypal, EMT, or partypoker transfer. Deadline is on Tuesday night, November 11, as I plan to play my first bullet on November 12, 13:00 UK time.
Details (TLDR):
This event needs 2,222 entries to avoid an overlay. It has the most qualifiers that I have heard of, including >= 244 players that qualified through the local club, along with online qualifiers. As mikelbyl likes to point out, the more qualifiers, the better for winning players. Local celebrities will be playing, such as Nottingham boxer Carl Froch.
I have over $100,000 in live tournament winnings, including #1 by far at Casino Rama since my live return. I also have six figures in PROFIT in the much tougher games online.
If there is wifi, I will post a live update every break in a Facebook group, including a photo of the tournament screen and my tournament receipts, just like during WPT Philippines. For pokerJAH and those who don't just want poker, poker & more poker, I will try to do a trip photo blog, including the Euro Style
Royal Flush Girls, partypoker models, DTD models, Player Party with DJ Spoony, Nottingham Forest, etc.
I expect to receive more poker swag at this partypoker-sponsored event than DirtArse and I did at WPT Philippines. The name of the poker club is "Dusk Till Dawn" which is the same as the movie with Selma Hayek and George Clooney. It is claimed to be the
best card room in Europe, and seems to sell a lot of branded poker merchandise, including
DTD playing cards. Investors have the option of receiving free swag from WPT UK, Dusk Till Dawn, and/or WPT Philippines.
