Didn't Tapie try to convince FTP workers to come with him and build a new site? Any info about it?

Not sure but I think they were supposed to play this last year. I vaguely remember seeing something. Then they were supposed to play it this year.
Now it's moved to next year?
Hmmmm. I can play a lot of tournies with 4.5 K if I want to sit somewhere with my laptop or at home.

This isn't going to ever happen, the same way the Epic Poker League million dollar freeroll never happened.
The idea is just so bad and ridiculous that to think it will ever occur with this guarantee, buyin level and structure is just hilarious. Especially now that Tapie doesn't have FTP to fill the seats with satellite winners.

Yeah +1. Would be great if it actually happened, but can't see it. Maybe they can offer Zynga poker qualifiers!

They're trying to cash in on the poker boom but nobody told them it's over.

Where the hell did tapie and friends get the idea that this could be successful? Even without the terrible marketing and general shadiness I don't see something like the ISPT generating any player enthusiasm/willingness to travel to expensive country to play a donkament. Predicting epic failure, angry participants.
