How much of the 325 goes to the prize pool?
I am thinking of going!
stp
To answer CrazyJoe's question, from what I recall from a thread in the advertising and/or home games sections, it is not $10,000 cash. First place is awarded entry into the Main Event of the WSOP, plus flight and hotel if I'm not mistaken. There is no option to exchange this package for cash that I'm aware of... there are plenty of 'cash' tournaments in and around the GTA, though, if that's what you're looking for.
Here's the thread from 'home games': http://pokerforum.ca/forum/showthread.php?p=24484#post24484
It still isn't clear, imo.
The buy-in is $325 and it IS a Satellite Tournament. Originally, we were not awarding a cash value for first place, but upon further discussion with the organizer, the option will be available for the FINAL THREE PLAYERS to decide on the type of first place payout. Let me explain....Once the field is narrowed to three players, each will be asked on their prize choice in the event of a first place finish. If the consensus is 2/3 for a cash payout, then a $10,000CAD first prize will be awarded to first place if they so desire. Even if the consensus is 2/3 in favour of the cash, the option for first place to take the original first prize of $10,000USD entry into "THE BIG ONE", 6 nights accomodation and return air fare to Las Vegas will STILL BE AVAILABLE. Total prize package worth $14,500CAD. If the $10,000CAD cash is chosen by first place, then 2nd and 3rd place will be paid the difference out of the prize pool.
This event is really geared towards the poker purist who realizes the value of the Satellite prize - the chance to turn $325 into $10 million. But we also decided to offer the alternate cash prize to cater to everyone.
Based on the minimum number of players required to host the event - 55 players. The maximum amount taken from the $325 buy-in for tournament expenses (tables/location/dealers/food) will be $61. The tournament is already at 40 pre-registered players, so we are currently estimating a minimum of 65 players (= $51 per buy-in towards expenses).
MORE GREAT NEWS
SUPER SATELLITES AVAILABLE
We're also hosting Super Satellite single and multi table tournaments for the March 12th event!!! The Super Satellites will be held on Friday February 25th at the same location as the main event. We will host 10 handed $40 tournaments with the winner receiving a $325 entry into the March 12th event. Second place get's their $40 back to try again if they so desire. You can play in as many super satellites as you want throughout the evening. If you win a second or third....etc.....you can take the cash instead of a seat. If we have enough players, we will also hold multi table Super Satellites of 20 players for $20. There is no pre-registration required for this event. All I need is an email confirmation that you will attend.
DATE: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 25th
TIME: 6:30pm
BUY-IN: $40 SINGLE TABLE GAMES
$20 MULTI TABLE GAMES
LOCATION: Contact me for address and any further details
NOTE: You can only receive a cash payout from a Super Satellite if it is a subsequent win. Your first win from either a single or mutli table satellite will automatically be registered for the March 12th event
IIRC, I noticed that there were two (or possibly more) separate threads on the same topic, all of which were posted in the wrong forum (Member Tournament Talk & Info). I moved one of the threads to the appropriate forum (Home Games), and deleted the extra threads.
I've got nothing against this event nor against advertising it on the forum, or anything like that.

In other words I may have to cancel the prior engagement ...
Finished second in the first game....good tables and dealers cant wait for the big event on 12th.
$40 buy-in
11 players
1000 starting chip count
blinds increase every 10 minutes
blind levels:
10/20
20/40
50/100
100/200
200/400
400/800
500/1000 capped.
The 10 minute blinds are as such to increase the speed of play. A single table Super Satellite should not take more than 1 1/2 hours to complete. If anyone has ever played Turbo S&G's on Pokerstars they will understand that this is the same premise. We will be running these single table satellites continuously throughout the evening. But if cash games are your bread and butter then you're in luck because we'll have them too! Hope to see you all out for another round of satellites. Maybe this time we can hand out 18 seats!!! Please RSVP myself or Josh via email to confirm your attendance.
