WPT
DATE: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH
TIME: 6PM
BUY-IN: $250 (includes dinner)
LOCATION: 6355 AIRPORT ROAD (PEARSON PUB)
Please join us as GTAPOKERTOUR presents a chance to play with the pros on the World Poker Tour for only $250! The winner of this tournament will receive the right to play in the North American Poker Championship being held October 25-29, 2006 at Niagara Fallsview. The buy-in for this event is $10,600.
It is always very frustrating to finish 2nd in a satellite event and end up with nothing, so we have adopted the following pay-out structure if our representative places in the money at the WPT event. The following pay-out is based on 50 players:
1st: 50% 2nd: 25% 3rd: 10% 4th: 7%
5th: 4% 6th: 2% 7th: 1% 8th: 1%
E.g. If our rep wins the WPT event and gets $1,000,000, he/she would receive $500,000. 2nd would get $250k, all the way down to 8th who would receive $10,000. In effect, the winner is being bank-rolled by the other players and wins the right to play with the big-boys. There will be a contract for people to sign to avoid any problems that may arise.
Depending on the number of players, cash prizes may be available as well. Our first priority is covering the price of the ticket and other expenses, but the more people, the bigger the prize pool. Heck if we can get 100 people we can send 2 players!
I think this is a great idea to get a lot more people involved in the event. If you finish in the top 8 you will be following the WPT event very closely!

The buy-in for this event is $10,300.
Maybe I am greedy. If I spend a Saturday beating x number of players to win a sattelite, and then spend three or four days trying to beat the best in the business, only to turn over half of what I win to the 7 of the players I already beat just to get here.
I really think not.
In fact I think it's a ridiculous suggestion.
Cheers
Also, a ridiculous contract.
As for my tourney's not having dealers or real poker tables?? Not sure who made that comment but they obviously haven't played at one of my tournaments in a long time. I have 9 professional tables and a plethora of dealers. Yes, when I was first starting out I was using my home-made jobbies, but those have been replaced....long live gamblord!!
