| Canadians: Who's going to the Manitoba Lotteries Poker Championships Oct. 27-30 I know us Canadian's are not really hurting for online action, but I'm sure some of us have branched out to some more live tourneys lately with the demise of FTP and all. On October 27th through the 30th at McPhillips Station Casino in Winnipeg, Manitoba there will be three live tourneys with a combined prize pool of over $600K. The events are: Oct 27: 12:00pm Start Time $550 buy-in + $50 registration fee Maximum number of players: 330 Re-entry (late registration) will be accepted 10,000 starting chips 30 minute blind levels Play will cease at 2:00am and will resume at 12:00pm the following day Oct 28: 1:00pm Start Time $275 buy-in + $25 registration fee ($225 towards the prize pool, $50 towards the bounty and $25 registration fee) Maximum number of players: 330 Re-entry (late registration) will be accepted 5,000 starting chips 20 minute blind levels Play to completion ($50 taken from the buy-in will be used to pay $50 bounties as players are eliminated) Oct 29: 12:00pm start time $1,000 buy-in + $100 registration fee Maximum number of players: 330 Re-entry (late registration) will be accepted 15,000 starting chips 45 minute blind levels Play will cease at 2:00am and resume at 1:00pm the following day I know that aside from myself, some friends of mine from my area will also be playing one or more of these events. I, personally, will be playing the $300 Bounty tourney, and depending how I finish and how I feel at the time might also take in the $1000 Championship game as well. So are any other Canadian Cards Chat members in the Manitoba area going to be playing? I'm looking forward to playing with and against fellow CCers in a live event and maybe even getting a couple of drinks afterwards. Hope to see some of you there! **edit** Almost forgot. Here's the link to the advert on the website http://www.casinosofwinnipeg.com/upl...re%20_web2.pdf .I believe there may be entry tickets sold at the venue, but the best method in order to make sure you're in is to order through Ticket Master Canada by following this link: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/search?tm...x=0&search.y=0 Last edited by TheKAAHK : 7th October 2011 at 7:41 PM. |

| re: Canadians: Who's going to the Manitoba Lotteries Poker Championships Oct. 27-30 I'm considering the bounty game as it would fit my budget but I may have to consult my wife about it. She's not against poker as she plays herself but won't play live as she would be uncomfortable. If my budget allows, I will see you there. BTW, this is the first time I heard about this and I just live down the street from the casino(1/2 hour or less walking distance) |

| So here I am at diner break. They allowed re-entry so there were over 400 entries to the prize pool. Ii started pretty card dead, and that mixed with a nasty river or two put me down to 4 bb's. I fought back though. After a couple masterful doubleups I was able to comfortably take out three players for $150 in bounties. We're down to 120 players now and I have just under the average chipstack. So far so good. Everyone else from my area that played is either busted or on life support. I'll update again next break, unless the unthinkable happens before then. |
