UK PLAYERS: got an extra seat for $100K next sunday

#1 22nd July 2009, 11:27 PM

Hi guys. I imagine most players who want to be in this are already in it, but I just entered another freeroll for it and won a second seat. lol. I qualified the first day it ran.
Anyway, Stars have said I can transfer my 2nd seat to a player of my choice (UK and Ireland only obv.) or save it for another final somewhere down the line. Dont think I can use it for anything current so if anyone wants it, make me an offer I cant refuse. lmao.

I'd rather someone who hasn't managed to qualify make some use of it. The tourney is a week on Sunday (2nd August) at about 5pm UK time.

#2 22nd July 2009, 11:35 PM

Thats very nice of you man, I am in so just want to say goodluck to you and whoever gets the ticket.

#3 22nd July 2009, 11:37 PM

nice. There are 6000 spots paid, and only around 6500 players in so far. No idea how many UK players pokerstars have, cant be many more than that though, surely. Thinking (hoping) it'll be an easy cash.

#4 22nd July 2009, 11:41 PM

as much as i would want it, it should be 1st come 1st serve gl to whoever gets it

#5 23rd July 2009, 10:18 AM

hey kevko, i would deinitely like to take you up on your offer? dont kno what i could suggest, but name your price and i'll gladly oblige

do you have a link to the tourney/structure? my internets been down for a week so not seen this

1st post on this forum from me, been a regular reader for sometime though, great site

#6 23rd July 2009, 11:36 AM

I would played it and half what ever i cash with you if i do cash.....

#7 23rd July 2009, 1:17 PM

First UK/Ireland to PM me with full name and pokerstars username gets it, think 6000-5000 take about $5, then prizes creep up. Into the 100's for top 1K I think but if you win anything over that i'd gladly split 50/50? seems fair. Not gonna ask for anything else or it, didn't cost me anything
Cant access Stars from work (cardschat is pushing it! lol) so cant provide the link. I'm sure some other kind chatter would though. Just log on and check it out. Very deep pay structure, 100K splits MANY ways! lol

#8 23rd July 2009, 2:06 PM

Deco got his mitts on the seat, still a week of registration yet though, GL all.

#9 23rd July 2009, 2:55 PM

Cool, I'll try qualify as soon as my internet gets hooked up again or maybe just buy in direct if you can. At work now so cant get on Stars either. GL & thanks for the offer

#10 23rd July 2009, 3:23 PM

Just realized I can't make this.
I'll be in cuba were getting online may be abit difficult.

Sorry for the inconvenience but I guess its up for grabs again.
Real shame I was excited about this.

#11 23rd July 2009, 3:41 PM

I am on pokerstars but not in this tournament, if you don't find a taker, i am willingly available to play, you can take a % of the winnings as well. If that is ok.

#12 23rd July 2009, 4:18 PM

Lol. Well, pokerstars are being iffy now saying I can't switch the ticket. I've sent a copy of the original e.mail to them and said they cant keep changing their minds! Soon as I hear back I'll get someone registered.
Thought this'd be a nice gesture of goodwill...turning into more trouble than its worth. lol. Will update soon guys

#13 23rd July 2009, 5:02 PM

Thats unfortunate. I sent u a PM with my details earlier, hopefully they change their minds, if not no worries & GL

#14 23rd July 2009, 5:25 PM

Sorry guys. Stars have decided to honour the original agreement and allow a player of my choice a seat, but since I made the request for Deco this morning,thats who they've registered. I'll e.mail again and explain the situation, but don't wanna push my luck.
Interestingly, its looking like the majority of the field may cash, so Deco might even make the pay-spots while he's on a beach in Cuba! lol
I'll try to work it out, but for now Deco is reg'd.

Sorry I'm an utter douche for not checking the date first

If it sticks with me I shan't let it go to waste I'll get onto pokerstars beg for a transfer and if need be put my brother on my account to play (he's an utter fish so perhaps sitting out would be better?)

#16 23rd July 2009, 7:35 PM

Yea I was gonna suggest that. I wasn't sure though, with you being from Liverpool, didn't think you'd manage to find anyone you trusted on your account with your password etc! lmao.

Said the Manc...

Sorry to those who missed out. Best of luck qualifying.

#17 23rd July 2009, 7:47 PM

nice gesture, OP, and lets hope they keep the numbers down in this, maybe then I can cash for once..............

Less than 7K players in so far, and 6K get paid. Cant see many more UK players killing themselves trying to get into this...maybe 8,000 max next Sunday? I mean how many UK players can Stars even have???
Ok, so bottom 2000 only take $5, still liking those odd's of making the cash!!!
Anyone fancy a blind all-in on first hand? lmao.

Your profile said your a city fan, so i'll let that pass
Ye I'll give it to me brother.
if he happens to cash at all I'll send half the winnings your way.

Cheers

#20 23rd July 2009, 11:06 PM

Anyone down for a token last longest bet? Just for bragging rights and a dollor or two lol?

#21 23rd July 2009, 11:57 PM

I qualified first time in the freeroll. Aren't I good? Well lucky anyway. Interesting about keeping the ticket for another event later. Let's hope Stars has a monthly $100K for us each and every month.

Anyway, see you at the final table.

Id be up for that MM, but only a dollar at the most, pretty low on funds at ps. My wife is also in the freeroll (balooliz at ps and here at cardschat) , so Im sure she'd be up for the last longer bet as well.
We'll need to sort out a thread on the day?

Sweet I have to remember to start a thread and I was thiniking a dollar is fine, just thought it would be a bit off fun/incentive.

#24 24th July 2009, 5:11 PM

Whats the minimum transfer on Stars? Can you even transfer a single dollar? I'll take a piece of that though if i'm invited? lol
Might have to be 100,000 play chips... i'll see what knd of week I have. Ran cold this week!

#25 24th July 2009, 5:13 PM

Yes you can transfer a $1 on STARS otherwise there'd not be the CC Invasions

#26 24th July 2009, 9:22 PM

I got another ticket from tonights freeroll - opted for the "you can .... use your extra seat for a future event" choice. Be interested to see what the ticket is to.

Hmm intresting, might play a few more then. I have to say Stars are being very good to us the UK players right now. Also anyone down for the dollar last longer let me know, I shall take the cash the day before if anyone wants to do it.

From Pokerstars support:
The email you received when qualifying for Tournament # 176276695, UK &Ireland $100,000 Freeroll, is an automated one. There is no benefit in qualifying multiple times, and you are unable to save this ticket for a future event or transfer this ticket to a friend

Well drat and double drat then. It's still a great event for Pokerstars to put on and I'm really looking forward to the final.

#29 2nd August 2009, 5:57 PM

Nearly forgot about this game, gl everyone playing It might be to late now to sort a last longer bet but Im still up for it still.

#30 2nd August 2009, 7:49 PM

GL everybody, qualified first time about a week and a half ago. Only about half the field to beat to cash so we should be able to do it.

If anybody does well they should post here, nice gesture kev, and good luck again.

#31 2nd August 2009, 8:25 PM

Well I lasted a whole 25 minutes, They got that deck right outta the freezer. It was painful.

GL to all still in.

#32 2nd August 2009, 9:06 PM

First break im 226th with ~$9100

just waiting for things to go wrong lol

#33 2nd August 2009, 9:08 PM

Out in minicash fashion gl all left in.

#34 2nd August 2009, 9:44 PM

Out in 2262 for $8. Good fun, but the deck ran stone cold for the last 30 mins.
Deco (who took my extra seat) was a sit out as he's on holiday, and limped the cash in 5998th place or something! lmao.

#35 14th August 2009, 8:58 PM

yeah i just busted for $12, so Im happy with that. cold deck the whole game, i was basically just trying to cash.
gl anyone still left in.
