i have a feeling someone at party poker is sweating about potentially massive overlay... surely some bots need to be taken out of the locker and forced to take on the poker pros with deep pockets. at least i can confirm that i will not be shelling out 25K for a single tourney, yeah yeah i know big surprise... but sorry no pochui this year amongst the runners.
Laughing my a$$ off Pochui! Why don't you use a small portion of your bankroll to buy into this tournament? I don't understand... We all know how great a poker player you are and you should definetly go back to playing cash games with the pros like in your poker after dark days.
I don't know if partypoker thinks that this tourney will attract a lot of pros on their website... I'm sure it will though!

Nice tournament indeed to be in. Lucky all those that will get a ticket from qualifiers, since the buy in is a bit high for many players. Wonder how the blind structure is. With so many chips as a starting stack and 20 minutes blinds, it can last forever
I asked a question in other thread but got my answer in this one so I'm clearly going to sleep peacefully now thx and this 25k buy in tournament is looking very promising and I'll surely rail at some point I just can't wait

There are 16 registrants at the moment. I noticed a player whose username is "GusHansen__74" on the registration list. Is this player that Gus Hansen? Probably not. The tournament starts in about 15 hours!

This sounds like it is going to be a fantastic tournament and it will be very interesting to see how many entries they get. I will not be entering myself but i will be checking to see who wins tomorrow

A buy in over 25k $ and the option for a rebuy in the first 20 minutes- i think i don´t play this big event today A guarantee of 2 millions was great, but it was interesting to see how many hours they play with a starting chip stake of 100k. But it was nice that more sites offer big events

Anyone watching the tournament to give some update, as to how many players are in, and the money for the first prize? Curiosity hits you, when you hear it is the biggest online tournament so far
The bubble burst after eight and a half hours of play first place is $741000 with fourteen players left if only Party let me use my 4K ticket to buy into one of these high roller events what a waste

Wow! A total prize pool of $3,225,000! That is very impressive. It looks like that a couple of sponsored pros at PartyPoker, Brazilian ‘joaosimaobh’ and ‘SamTrickett’ from United Kingdom, finished in the money out of a field of 129 players. And I think ‘BROTHERRALPH’ from United Kingdom was the only female player that cashed in this tournament. Very well done!

I always said that there still was poker to play after the bubble. Very good example on this tournament the winner of it was 13th. of 14 on the above screen shot and managed to finish first.
There was deal t i don't understand since i was not there when they occur enclose is a screen shot of the final.
I see Sam Trickett was playing it. This guy loves high roller tournaments online and offline it seems I'm sure after playing the 1 million buy-in big one for one drop he doesn't really care about 25k buy-in tournaments anymore. And I'm sure a lot of player buy shares of his buy-ins so he doesn't really risk that much when he plays these!

They had 129 entrants after all, and yes pinotte spotted it right, the screenshot says about a deal. Probably between first and second only, since the difference in prize money, isnt that big as someone would expect in a normal payout.
