A NOTE TO ALL GOING, IF THERE ARE BF STAFF BOUNTY PLAYERS INVOLVED BE AWARE THAT THEY CANNOT CASH, SO IF U GET TO FINAL TWO TABLES FIND OUT HOW MANY BF PEOPLE ARE LEFT AND MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS AS IF SAY 13 LEFT INCLUDING 3 BF STAFF THEN THAT IS THE BUBBLE IF A NON BF STAFF IS KNOCKED OUT, IF A BF STAFFER GOES THEN OBV THE BUBBLE IS STILL LIVE.ShockedWHEN WE PLAYED IN LONDON IN OCTOBER ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF THIS!

Redshoes- you got interested in wanting to go, so will be big disappointment if you don't show.

Obviously this is very poor not having all the details yet but have faith that the event itself will be a good one

some blue shoes would probably go down better though. As blue is the colour of champions and chelsea will win the fa cup :)

See you there hun - look forward to meeting you.   

Ps- my wife is going to be with me so will all the ladies please refrain from hounding me for autographs :)

LOL Klup I will try to refrain can't promise though...

I will go, and look forward to meeting you all saturday (no taking the mick if I make mistakes though ok)

see ya then

There should be 70 runners, as if any qualifiers confirm they are not going BF normally offer the places to people who were knocked out. Wife not coming into casino now Klup, she heard about your reputation and decided to go shopping instead!
Report The Klup May 10, 2010 8:12 PM BST
I wonder where she got the shopping money from - you didnt splash the cash to try encourage her to stay away from the adonis looking greek god of poker did you?

Afterall plankton, you nearly fell for my drop dead gorgeous looks in Tallinn - dont think i didnt notice you following me around, stalking me and then hiding behind a pot plant every time i looked over my shoulder. ;)
Report brightonaremagic May 12, 2010 3:17 PM BST
Still no telephone call or e-mail received, been told I will be receiving confirmation but BF seem to be leaving it a bit late.
Report temple May 12, 2010 3:48 PM BST
received a second confirmation email today, you should phone Betfair and check you are on the list.

Photo id needed to get into casino.
Report DarkJedi May 13, 2010 12:25 AM BST
Couldn't make the satellite on the Sunday due to work commitments, so didn't qualify but Bf called me and offered me a seat anyway. Unfortunately i cannot make it due to work commitments!! Working weekends only is turning out to be a major pain as regards to being able to make poker tournies live and online...may have to give up job...lol. Good luck all who are attending...May the force be with you.

Dammit, thought you hadn't noticed! As for the shopping money, been r aping the cash tables since we got back, and made a fortune selling pics of you eating the croissants on ebay!!

One of the BF players won it, think his name was Chris, can't really remember due to the excellent hospitality provided by BF.
Report The Klup May 16, 2010 3:42 PM BST
betfair employee Andrew won it - best player there imo. He was on my starting table, played exceptionally well, and caught up with him with 2 tables left and he used his stack brilliantly.

I finished 18th - called with AK on the BB after UTG went all in with 66. reduced me to 400 chips with blinds on 1600/800 and 200 antes

Looking back it was a very foldable AK given that I had 16000 chips and more importantly the top 11 get a prize and with 3 bounties/betfair employess still in and not able to cash it was basically 15th and 4 of the prizes.

Klup played very well though - i ought to play much more live than i do, when soberish i play a much much better game.

:D

I must add GG WP Betfair

Entire event was well organised and credit to Rachel, Matt, Joe and all the Betfair staff for a well organised, structured and enjoyable day out.

Lining it up with the football, organising the Half time and Full time competitions added to the day.

I had a couple guests with me and they too thoroughly enjoyed their day.

I was particularly impressed with Betfair's ability to ensure that Chelsea made it through to the FA Cup final just to complete the perfect day for me on my 6th wedding anniversary. Intrestingly Darren (plankton) and Jane who also came to the BF Masters, were celebrating their sixth anniversary on the day as well - so congrats to them and it was good to bump into you again!
Report wingy123 May 16, 2010 5:00 PM BST
Yeah andrew did play very well, was lucky to flop trip deuces against pocket aces to double up early and from there he didnt let up. WD
Report plankton May 16, 2010 7:51 PM BST
Totally agree with everyone, great day out, even better because I cashed, wohoo! Only £150 but it paid for the hotel and petrol money from Newcastle. Nice to meet your wife Klup, what the hell she is doing with you I dont know! Hopefully see you in Ukraine youngster.
