Great stuff, looks fantastic Danny!Can't wait to get stuck into it...I've never played a live freeroll before....should be interesting !Thanks for the freebies!Tam

[Leewah]

Great work Danny.Like Tam said, can't wait to play in these freerolls. Should be a real blast!Is the Sunday tourney a freezeout or are all players going to get a seat? I might have trouble getting there before 3:45.

[Danny McDonagh]

we will seat as many as we can with the 40 odd tables available.

[PeepOnTheSly]

Hi Danny, if you expect 400+ runners, have you given thought to what the payout structures will be? Usually you would expect to pay the top 50 but if the prizepool is not large given the number of players, if would seem rather insignificant to limp into 45th and get $50.(That is if not many people exercise their rebuy options)Anyway, just a thought, perhaps pay top 20 only?

[PeepOnTheSly]

Oops I am a fool. Perhaps I should read your posts more carefully. Seems you have already addressed this. Haha. In any case, I'd be surprised if the prizepool didnt top 40k and given this figure, i would still only pay the top 20.Snuck behind the curtains for a sneak preview of the room. Looks great, good luck for the opening week Danny.

Danny how many tables will be available to seat the 400+ expected field for the main event?
