hmmm, not really rail-friendly but thanks, neil!
also, will you guys only stream the final table? and if so, will it be like this year's PCA final table?

Hi Kansas,

I know. There haven't been a ton of status updates in that thread. I think it is because so many people have staking threads that they are doing all their updating in the individual staking threads. Try doing a full search for "EPT" and you will see all the different stake threads.

We will be streaming the Final Table on the 12th and the Champion of Champions on the 13th. Both starting at 2pm Madrid time. The FT will be hole cards up from 11pm (Madrid time) or so onward. We start play at 2pm and will stop at 6:30pm or at 4 players, whichever comes first. Then we will restart at 9pm on a two hour delay with all cards being shown. The footage from 2pm til 6:30pm will be live with hole cards not shown.

Cheers,

whats the lineup in the champion of champions tournament?

Hi 4K,

We have 4 who confirmed they will NOT be playing. 14 still unconfirmed, which means we have 51 players confirmed (52 assuming the EPT Madrid champion will play through his hangover the day after he wins )

The last list I received was 43 names, but is a week or two old...

One time DeanoSupremo!

so is the champion of champions tournament just to break the title of " no one has won two epts" ?

Hey Bill,

Whoever wins this won't be able to claim it either. You have to win two EPT Main Events. That is why Jason (EPT San Remo ME and EPT London HR) and Elky (PCA HR, PCA ME, EPT Madrid HR) don't count as a double/triple winner.
