Prize pool:

1st: €250 UO tickets + t-shirt + mini poker set
2nd: €150 UO tickets + t-shirt + mini poker set
3rd: €100 UO tickets + t-shirt + mini poker set

There'll be a €30 bounty (UO tickets) on @testuser1 and I :) We'll probably also add more bounties if some of the ambassadors/streamers are playing.

@YpresX@Hymn2Ninkasi@Wibbe@AlexandruDobrin@DaVitsche@vongrundal@gommen@Stoned_midgetz@balticblonde@Karl@sG@DjKhalle@BBP@effigies - are you guys playing? :)

@AndreiBN and @VikingsAF are going to watch Chelsea - Swansea in the afternoon but they should be able to make it for the side event.

I'll be at the registration desk 45 minutes before it starts. Looking forward to a lot of fun at the tables! :rockon:

Gutted to miss out, next time please arrange this in advance so people can plan things. It just seems so last minute dot com. Plus tickets for prizes, sucks balls playing a live game to win tickets to use online. At least make the prizes entry to maybe the bounty tournament or something but uo tickets only seems lame.

I'm sorry about the short notice, but we couldn't really have communicated this earlier due to very limited space at the casino. We couldn't have predicted how many would be in the ME at this point.

You shouldn't play the tournament because of the prizes :)

It wasn't so much about the prizes it was about the uncertainty of the start time. Not everyone is flexible and I stand by the comment I posted, it would have been good to meet everyone and I was looking forward to the whole buzz of the event, but not worth travelling to play for online tickets as a prize pool. I truly believe it is a good gesture and probably extremely fun but to travel to the busiest city in the country for a game that only pays 3 places seems a bit of a anti climax to the prospect of a good idea. I understand the situation with the Me and not knowing about tables etc, which is why I said title was left too late, especially since Unibet are the organisers so should know how many players the venue should hold. I appreciate you guys work hard and it is a freeroll at the end of the day, but just disappointed to only find out the start time past midday on the day of the tournament. I am not being ungrateful or a douchebag, but not everyone is in the position of being able to afford a Me buyin so the prospect of a freeroll which could have funded one of the smaller event buyins would have been worth travelling cross country for. However when you see it only paid 3 places and its for online tickets, it made it an anticlimax. The tshirts, chips and the holding are nice addons but still not worth the journey, cost and time, especially when some people don't have the luxury of those. Good effort and good luck guys n gals but not for me this time. Getting a bit fed up of having to grind online to make it into a live tournament, especially when software has issues and ev still appears to be an issue. Maybe it's time for me to forget about these type of events.

I would love to have to come and play, but unfortunately I was at the top of my stairs and started walking downstairs when my dog ( border collie ) shoulder barged me into my knee and knocked me flying down the stairs,which has given me a bad back and sore knee at the moment.

It's not the first time the mutt has done it :scared:

maybe next year, but to all who are playing, good luck to them, shame I am missing out on those juicy prizes, I would be there in a heart beat for those....lol

I've added the prizes :happy:

We'll have to wait a bit @MoreTBC, as @Hymn2Ninkasi's precious hat is here in Malta - I brought it back to the hotel the night we played and I couldn't find him before I had a train to catch. I'm quite sure he'll come to Malta in April :)
