$2,500,000 GRAND SERIES OF POKER (GSOP) - BETFAIR IS GIVING AWAY $65,000 WORTH OF FREE GSOP EVENT TICKETS!

Every night at 19:00 BST between the 19th of September and the 3rd of October there is an interesting GSOP Event starting, each with a different buy-in, game type and guaranteed prize pool.

Qualifiers to the different GSOP Events are running so there are plenty of chances for you to qualify. You can find all Qualifiers in the poker client under the "Scheduled Tournaments" tab.

On top of the high guaranteed prize pools, all of the 15 GSOP Events hand out a Grand Slam ticket to the winner and also award points towards a leaderboard where the winner of the leaderboard gets a Gram Slam ticket.

The Grand Slam Final will take place on Sunday the 10th of October, the weekend after the last GSOP Event. The Grand Slam Final will be an attractive high buy-in tournament where the GSOP Event winners, the qualifiers, the leaderboard winners and players buying in directly will all meet for a Grand Slam tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $300,000.

Don"t miss the Betfair Exclusive $65,000 GSOP Ticket Qualifier with 400 GSOP tickets up for grabs. It will only cost you $0.01 to take a shot of winning one of the tickets up for grabs.

I"m guessing that there will be plenty of APATers entering these tournaments.

Let us know your plans and railing needs, and let"s get plenty of APATers in the money.

Qualifed for the $65000, GSOP ticket qualifier (0.01 buy in 124 players top 10 win) Took me about 6 attempts  ::))

And tonight just picked up a $50+$4 ticket - ($8 buy in 70 players top 9 win)  So I"ll play in event 15 in the mini series.  :)

Well Richard and I have both won tickets for the $65,000 event. Richard already entered with his tournament ticket and when I won last night you can guess the problem we have......

we are from the same network and it won"t let me enter the same event with the ticket grrrr.....  have emailed Betfair customer services and hoping (fingers crossed) for a speedy reply. I think Betfair are shooting themselves in the foot with the same network problem - lots of households have two, or more, poker players using their home network, its not like we are using the same computer. All the good will for Betfair holding this event... starts to get tarnished when you then have problems trying to enter the event you qualified for  :( .

Yep it"s pants. The big networks do something similar for sit n goes but not for MTT"s. Come on Betfair sort it out. Of course they may not have a choice if it"s an Ongame policy. And it will be viewed as a minor problem of course. Still you can always sit back and relish all that added value, whilst not playing poker.

Furness is now 7/100, so guaranteed a $200 GSOP Event 8 seat, but a $5k GSOP Grand Slam Final seat would be nice for a top 5 finish.


Good Luck.

Paul finished 45th, narrowly missing out on a $525 Seat, but a $200 seat is not bad work.

Well played sir.
