2011 WSOP Satellite To A $1500 or $1000 Event (in Bolton)

Friday Aug. 13th, 2010

**PLEASE NOTE THE DATE HAS CHANGED***


The plan is to run 1 a month, the plan is also to run a $500 Main Event Satellite later in the year.

START TIME 7pm
This will be a satellite for The 2011 World Series of Poker for a $1500 or $1000 Event
MINIMUM of 10 players needed to make these tournaments happen. Someone will win a seat to either one of the $1000 WSOP Events or $1500 WSOP Events, depending on the number of players in the satellite.
Here is your chance to go to The 2011 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas for $150 US Dollars
Rules for this tournament; The usual rules that we have been following for all Orangeville Poker Tour Events in addition to the following;
1. Tournament is in US Dollars since you are winning your buyin into a US Tournament.
2. The goal is to get 18 players to be able to give away a $1500 seat plus $1000 for expenses. This can be adjusted depending on how many players show up. In other words we can offer a $1000 seat instead.
3. The following payout structure is based on 18 players 1st - $2500, ($1500 will be held back for the tournament buy-in) the rest of the payout structure will be dictated by how many players come out, with 20 players 2nd place will get $500. There was 15 no limit events at the 2010 WSOP. Once the schedule is released for the 2011 WSOP, winners will be emailed and get to choose which $1500 event they want to play. Then we will pre-register each winner for the event that they choose. The WSOP usually runs from the end of May to the beginning of July.
4. This is an equity tournament. Any winnings (only that after 30% tax is taken. $5000 and up gets taxed) from the WSOP tournament will be divided amongst the players that were in that particular satellite tournament. 85% to the winning player in the WSOP, the remaining 15% divided evenly amongst the players from that tourney.
5. All players will sign a contract at the beginning of the satellite tourney in attendance agreeing to these terms.

  • For those of you that are on the fence about coming. Tonight may be your night to get on TV.

    Just wanted to let everyone know that is playing tonight.

    TV Ontario is filming a documentary called "Grinder" it is about amateur poker players. They will be with us tonight to film this tournament. I have ben told that it will only be a small crew of 3 people and only 1 camera.

    Everybody will have to sign a waiver form allowing them to put yu on TV, if you wish not to be on TV, then just don't sign the waiver and they will block you frm appearing on TV.

    This very interesting and exciting.

    See you all tonight
  • Jesus...like getting his picture published in PPC didn't swell Steve's head enough...NOW he's going to be TV STAR!

    He'll have to move the family out of Orangeville. Won't be big enough for him AND his ego ;)

    I was invited to another club game a few weeks ago where these guys were supposed to be filming. The result should be interesting.

    I'm assuming that you didn't go to the club that night? I think this should be interesting tonight.

    Makes you wonder how many dollars in casino chips he has that he forgot to cash in . lol
  • Wetts, without a doubt that was the sicked beat i've seen in a long time. So, so, sick!!


    I'll bring your sweater to AJ's on Thurs.

    In case you are all wondering who won the first seat to the WSOP, i'll give you a couple of hints... He post on this forum, His username is derived from his dog, and he was the host of the game. Give up?? Alright it was me.

    The next game is Sept. 11th. Come on there has to be some forum members who want to play!!!
  • Congrats!

    I was hoping you or DeadMoney won b/c I need at least an outside shot at getting some monies back next June.

    Also, Must be nice to have the Jesus seat on 2 big stacks who arent very good.

    Also, LOL Acetenbombaments. Anyone who refers to themselves in third person is OK by me.

    Also, you now have spending monies to come to COPC.

    Thanks,

    I'll do my best to win us some money next year.

    Jesus seat?? it's like i said to you at one point, i was playing way more hands then i should have, i just new i could outplay them on the Flop, Turn and River.

    I love people who refer to themselves in the 3rd person, makes me feel like there are more people in the conversation.

    I'm still on the fence about COPC, we'll see. Steve wants me to go with him.
