Ranger's 2-table WPT Satellite - Aug 11
IMPORTANT NOTE (Aug 2/07):
Given the relative lack of interest and the large number of other KW-area tournaments going on in August, I'm going to cancel this satellite. For those interested, please consider AcidJoe's satellite on the 25th or The_Game's satellites (next one Aug 18 )
[size=+2]2nd Annual Ranger Niagara WPT Satellite - Saturday August 11th[/size]
Many people have asked if I am running this again this year, and the answer is yes! This year I've decided to simplify the format and run a one-day satellite format with one or two entries into the Fallsview satellites. Essentially it is like the Niagara first-step satellites but with a lower buy-in and 4 times the starting stack. Plus everyone gets a small share if the winner makes money at the WPT tourney!
Date/Time : Saturday August 11th, starting at 1:00pm (arrive anytime after 12:00)
Location : Elmira, ON (just 5 minutes north of Waterloo)
(Location info will be sent via PM during the week before the event)
Food/Drinks : BYOB, BYOS. There will be a 1-hour dinner break at approximately 5:30pm. BBQ will be available if you bring BBQables.
Other : Players will be welcome to stay after for cash or SnG games.
Poker details
Number of players : between 14 and 18
Buy-in : $60 or $80 (see here for info, please specify your preference when you sign up)
Starting chips : 10,000
Blind Schedule : Blinds will be the same as the official Niagara satellite blinds, but with a cap. Click here to view blind and break schedule. I expect the tournament to last about 8 hours.
Payouts
Payout will be determined by the number of participants, as shown in the table below:
All payout amounts marked with * will require the winner to play in a Niagara Fallsview WPT satellite. Winners of $640 will play in a Step 2 satellite (held on Fridays at Fallsview). Winners of $160 will play in a Step A satellite (held on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at Fallsview). No money/chop deals will be allowed in this satellite.
For more details of the official Niagara satellites, please see below:

Share Percentage
All winners of Niagara Satellite seats will sign an agreement which divides a portion of their potential winnings amongst the other players in the satellite. Each player who plays in the satellite will get a 1% share of any winnings from any of the winners who got official WPT satellite seats.
NOTE:
All participants will be required to list their legal name, address, telephone, and email address on the satellite agreement forms so that they can be contacted in the event that they are owed money.
Given the relative lack of interest and the large number of other KW-area tournaments going on in August, I'm going to cancel this satellite. For those interested, please consider AcidJoe's satellite on the 25th or The_Game's satellites (next one Aug 18 )

You could always make a deal HU to get a bigger %.
Can't play. My anniversary. I have an understanding wife but not that understanding.
I am in for 80.00
Prophet :2h :2s
How about this, everyone who responds please let me know if you are in for $60, or $80, or either. If we get enough players to fill out 2 tables at the $80 level we'll go with that, otherwise we'll stick with $60.
Those who have already responded, please post again or PM me with your preference.
Also is it possible to play another tourney with similiar buy in to Niagara's ie. the river room WPT satellite with the money?
Sign me up! - and I am ok with the $80

Unless someone on the forum runs a rake-free $640 buy-in tournament with a $10,000 seat to Niagara, I would prefer that the winners play their sat at Niagara as it is the only truly legal option at this point.
Note: I don't want to get into a debate about legalities here...that is just my preference (and prerogative) as the host of this satellite, and people can choose not to play in my sat if that does not suit them.

Winner take all:
If we have 9 players it will be a $72 buy-in
If we have 10 players it will be a $64 buy-in
For those who have signed up already please respond again if you are interested in the single-table format.
I'll keep a separate list and if we get more people interested in the two-table, we can stick with that format.
For people who are interested in the two-table format and haven't already signed up, please respond asap!
