Hmmm, sounds attractive. Never heard of Archways Poker Club tho ... not many have apparently.

Only 3 paid from 100 runners? It"s really just a top heavy tourney. Good cash games / SnGs on the side to make the trip worthwhile?

GCC giving him a hard time i think and alea is connected with the WSOPE

and think about it lol 36 x 20 isnt gonna give you a WSOPE buy in

[sopranoltd]

Thats correct , GCC are being very slow in process , plus the ALEA is part of LCI Casino Groups which holds the tournaments for WSOPE , tickets to this event can be bought directly at the Alea Casino starting on Monday the 15th , at 3:00pm and onwards . The buy in is £45 + £5 , which in total with 36 players gives the winner £1000. + £60 fee for entry into Event #1 and also £560. for travel and expenses . Drew at the Alea called me today and said that the blind structure by far is the best he has seen so far anywhere . It is the same structure we played with at The TajMahal in AC when i was still livin in New Jersey . It will be 6 tables of 6 players each , each table winner will go to final table where one will go to WSOPE .
