Thanks CrazyLond!

I'm sure it will start selling quickly closer to the time but that's a little worrying.  Hopefully it will sell out.

They are not staggering the seat assignments at sign up.

They are filling up tables as they go.

So does that mean my starting table will consist mostly of those people I satellited in with?  I'd be pretty happy if that's the case!

That is another horrible decision they are making.  They run their tourneys very unprofessionally.  I could do a much better job with my education, poker knowledge, and love for the game.  I have had passing thoughts about turning it into a career, but unless I become like Matt Savage, it can't pay much better than what I am already making at an entry level position. 

I accidently planned a Vegas trip the same weekend as this tourney, so I guess now I have a good excuse for blowing this tourney off. 

I mean, come on.  So you and 2 of your buddies decide to enter this tourney together, and enter early on and get one of the first tables that won't break until the final day, lots of good collusion possibilities there.  They better redraw seating for the final day, or now they are just looking downright stupid.  Learn how to run a professional tourney.

Now that you mention it, that really is a stupid idea and should be pointed out to the TD (especially the collusion aspect).  It's only good for me personally in one sense...I will have played with many of the people at my starting table for hours so I have a good idea of what I'm up against.

Any updates on number of seats sold so far? Any changes to the tournament structure?

Thanks

I'm also interested...with 2 weeks left it should start selling much faster.

Are they still offering Satellites for this? Any seats still available? I've been out of state for a month and I'm interested in playing it. If not FullTilt's main event is that sunday and it's only $500...

Definitely seats available and I believe they're still offering $105+5 sitngos anytime 10 people sign up.

I'm a little surprised...last year they sold out the 450 long in advance.  I think they will still probably fill up at 600.
