[FlushYouAcehole]

just qualified with seat only for ept london but it seems that i might not be able to get there on the 29th.
will i be able to sell/get a refund/switch for another ept?

[NeilJ]

Hi Flush,

The short answer is no. You can email EPT@pokerstars.com and explain why you can't make it, they will have the final decision.

Pokerstars EPT Terms and Conditions... http://www.pokerstars.com/ept/terms/

8. The first prize package you win for an Event, whether through a Satellite or in any other way on the Site, is non-transferable and non-exchangeable and cannot be redeemed for money or money’s worth. If you win, you must play or forfeit the package. If you win additional prize packages, they may not be sold or transferred and your PokerStars account will be credited with both T-Money equal to the value of the entry/accommodation package plus the nominated spending/travel cash for the Event.

Cheers,

Hi Everyone,

After this post I will be posting the schedules for Barcelona and Prague.

Azan - #18 - There is a pay parking garage directly behind the Hilton Metropole.

Azan - #19 - You will get a standard guest room at the Hilton. See this link... http://www.hilton.co.uk/HiWayWeb/app...tyhocn=LONMETW

At this time internet is £15 a day at the Metropole.

Roothlus - #20 - I've emailed the Vic for the exact wording for you. I'll drop it in when they reply.

Mcmatto - #21 - Anyone who makes Day 2 of the 28th events and is set to play Day 1A just needs to inform us and we will verify it and move them over.

Miankr - #22 - That is the information for EPT Vienna, I think Roothlus is asking for EPT London, but thank you for providing the link

Cheers all, schedules now coming.

Thanks. Am I going to be able to register for this/any other side-events on Pokerstars? Also, how do I get your job?

[NeilJ]

Hi Ghost,

You can register right now on PokersStars -

EVENTS - EPT - QUALIFIERS - #298740052 - Event #32

All of the London Events are available for Online DBI now

As far as I know, I am the only one lucky enough to have this type of job. If I was better at poker you'd have a chance at it. With my current break even style (or "Bubble B*tch" as Annette so lovingly calls me ) I will likely need this job for quite a while, sorry

Hi Roothlus,

This is the response from the Head Cashier at the Vic...I PMed you as well...

--------------------------

Hi Neil,

All cheques, whether bank drafts, cashiers checks or personal cheques, have to be made out to either GVC, Grosvenor or Victoria Casino, and sent to the Casino, the only issue is these cheques have to cleared prior to release of funds, so realistically need to be made out in £ sterling and drawn on a London bank.

Time is certainly running out to clear any in time, so a wire transfer would be recommended at this stage.

Hope this helps

Kind Regards
