Re: 2008 Western Classic Poker Championships
Hi Zemmer,
Sorry for the lack of updates, as you can imagine it has been fairly hectic as we gear up in the last two weeks for the Western Classic.
Currently we have approx 70 entrants for the Main Event and the prize pool as it stands at the moment exceeds $160,000.
We still have three satellites (of which two are rebuy events) to conduct plus the daily commission free SITNGO qualifiers to bolster numbers.
Direct buyins are also starting to filter through as we near the date, and i envisage that the final numbers will be around the 130 mark. This will give us an approx $300K prizepool which makes the guaranteed $100K first prize pretty accurate from a tournament prize payout structure.
Seating for Day1B (Friday) may soon be capped due to its current preference as a playing date, and organisationally to even up player numbers for each DAY1, so the earlier you register, the more options you have.
Accommodation discounts are still available onsite at the Holiday Inn, please quote "Western Classic" when booking.
If anyone requires further information regarding the Western Classic Poker Championships feel free to call me on 0421 579 552.
Best of luck on the felt.
