WCOAP Satellites - Main Event and Side Event. Start Weds 19.2.14

[Sugar_Free]

Unfortunately on iPoker you can"t run a satellite without guaranteeing at least 1 seat, so running them 7 nights a week would represent quite a risk for us. Even 2 nights a week dilutes the number of players for each game, with the satellites recently struggling to get the required 10 players to generate a non-overlayed seat.

However, I am obviously sorry to hear of your disappointment, so will set up another Sunday satellite for the remaining 2 Sundays in the month. I hope that is okay?

Didn"t realise that, there"s the good reason I was after.

How about raising the buy ins to £7/8 & £14/15 if you"re concerned about not hitting the guarantee. I"m sure the same people will turn up and play. As for next Sunday, DMI please.

Is the regular Wednesday satellite still going ahead this week?

Are there going to be any non-holdem satellites for the non-holdem events?
At the moment the satellites for Stud/Omaha/HORSE side events appear to be holdem tournaments which doesn"t really make sense.

No, the satellites are hold"em only.

Winning a side event satellite gives you a ticket to any of the side events of your choice, so I think it makes sense to make it hold"em rather than, say, stud.

<1 hour until these kick off again.

Also, don"t forget to play the 1p Cheaproll at the same time if you"re playing these

Remaing satellites, aside from those tonight, are:

Main Event Satellites: Sun 23rd @8pm, Weds 26th @8pm, Sun 30th @8pm.
Side Event Satellites: Sun 23rd @8.30pm, Weds 26 @8.30pm, Sun 30th @8.30pm.

Note, their currently aren"t satellites in April, due to the fact that we have to get the money out of the software and to Aspers casino.

[Matt D]

15 minutes to go until the start of the Main Event satellite, with 6 registered.
45 minutes until the start of the Side Event satellite, with 7 registered.

Both games will have the usual 1 hour of late reg.

[Matt D]

Congratulations to tonight"s satellite winners!

Main Event: Carl Pilgrim (£110 seat), Steve Redfern (£99 cash).

Side Event: Graham Thompson (£55 seat), Carl Pilgrim (£55 seat), Adrian Long (£11 cash).

Yes, agree it would be great if iPoker offered similar opportunities (unfortunately I don"t believe they offer an equivalent to T$).

Good point though. When I speak to my contact @Coral next, I will add this to the agenda, and see if iPoker will allow a manual exchange of tournament tokens for cash.

Quick update: Sunday"s satellites are in the lobby now (under Coral Exclusive > APAT*) and registration is now open.

As always, the details are:
Main Event Satellite, Sun 23rd @8pm, £11 + £1.10. 1 seat for every £110 in the prizepool. 1 seat guaranteed!
Side Event Satellite, Sun 23rd @8.30pm, £5.50 + £0.55, 1 seat for every £55 in the prizepool. 1 seat guaranteed!

Update 2: *They should be under this tab. However, having just checked they are under: Tournaments > All and Coral Exclusive > Exclusive Tournaments. Have requested that they are also listed under Coral Exclusive > APAT.

[Matt D]

Hi all, just a quick reminder that the 2 satellites tonight are found under Coral Exclusive > Exclusive Tournaments, and not the usual place of Coral Exclusive > APAT.

Hi Myles, sorry I"m not allowed to intervene in that side of things The only way to sort is by by providing the info they"ve asked for. They will accept a photo using a cameraphone, that"s quite a lot less hassle than scanning.
