GotWhatItTakes Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I will try to get a seat on Wednesday and Sunday. If I dont get a package, will there be any live satellites for the 1100€ event? NO MORE HALF-MEASURES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoloswag7000 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hello, im going to the Unibet Open in Copenhagen. I won my package through a Pocketfives/Unibet promotion and amazingly i won it even tho the two players above me on the leaderboard had only needed to registrer and bust first in the last tournament to get ahead of me. I won the package with a 0.92 point margin.Ive only played one live tournament before and thats the norwegian championship in Dublin, Ireland. I won a seat for that tournament through Unibet also. Im bringing along my degenerate friend for the event also haha.See you all in Copenhagen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoreTBC Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 What does a Tournament Director actually do? I know they're there during the days of the event making the final decisions on things but is there anything else? Do they set the structures and things like that? Organise the side events?I'm just being nosey and wanted to see what a job that like involves. :) Have you read my blog HERE... It's long isn't it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in charge of settling disputes between players/dealers & giving penalties. I got this information from Jack Effel's twitter (Director at WSOP) a while back when someone asked what he actually did.

DavidP_Unibet Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 In terms of Unibet Open events, the tournament director is quite hands on - he's responsible for all rulings, setting the structure, side events and their structure and also sets the tone for the whole event and all staff there. “Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or lost.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see Mr Hallaert isn't going to be just a 'celebrity' referee for a few days but will be active in all aspects of the live events :) Have you read my blog HERE...

ChapInAChair Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I qualified yesterday and it's fair to say I'm pretty pleased about it. Any news on the last event of the year yet? Formerly known as StartlingGrope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotWhatItTakes Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think the last event will be in Bucharest. NO MORE HALF-MEASURES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farseer Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Congratz to both Unibet and Hallaert! Great that now I know that someone who actually knows how to play poker leads tournaments in Unibet Open :)Unfortunately too much poker grind to do here so can't do Unibet Open Copenhagen. Have grinded up to 900€ in UO tickets so I am excited to hear about when and where will be next. I hope not in November, as I am already going to Caribbean but December and Prague Poker Festival would be jackpot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
