Hey Neil,

These are really important and basically decide whether I'm going to Vienna or not.

-Is it allowed to smoke in a table / anywhere near tables at the EPT Vienna? I just came back from Austrian Poker Classics held at the CCC and I couldn't concentrate at all as my head started aching after just an hour at the tables. I'm asking because in Austria everyone smokes everywhere and there are no smoking laws or regulations so unless you're going to make strict rules people are going to be smoking like chimneys.

-How many players have the 8-game and O8 tournaments attracted in the past EPTs this season?

Also this has nothing to do with EPTs but could you please raise my Stars deposit limits? I am sending you a pm about the situation immediately after this, can you please forward it to someone as the Stars support aren't even replying to me (you'll get it when you read it)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chuck,

I understand completely!!! EPT Vienna is affiliated with CCC, but we will not be playing there. We will be playing at a building downtown. All EPT's are non smoking events

The £2K 8 Game in London has drawn 60 in 2009 and 78 in 2010. The PLO8 in London is today, so don't have a number yet. We don't have 8 game in many spots, because most of the time, all of the games are not legal in the countries we go to (i.e. no Omaha in France/Monaco, etc...)

Cheers,

Neil

I am curious. Why is the Main Event not starting on a Saturday/Day 1a? It would attract more causual player imo. And when they run deep, the average 9-5 guy can apply for some holiday if needed. But right now it is the other way around which is...

Hi All,

Chuck - Seeing what I can do.

Livestream - 59 - Depends on the venue most of the time. For London, these were the only dates we could get the ballroom at the Hilton.

Hi All,

Dark - 64 - I have emailed our Vienna guy for tourist tips. I'll post when he gets back to me.

Happy - 65 - Any tournament that features more than one discipline of poker and has a buy in of 1K or higher. This season, we have had 3 qualifying events so far...

EPT Tallin - none
EPT Vilamoura - 1K NLH/PLO
EPT London - 2K 8 Game
EPT London - 1K NLH / PLO

Also, so everyone knows, the Omaha Award covers Omaha high and high low, so both the PLO and the PLO8 tourneys at EPT London qualified for Omaha Player of the Year points.

Miankr - 67 - There is no online DBI available for Vienna or for Barcelona. It will be available again for EPT Prague. There is parking at the hotel, but it is €31.50 per day. Our Event Manager is checking around to see if there are cheaper alternatives near the hotel.

Cheers All,

Neil

Hi All,

Dark - 64 - http://www.wien.info/en

Couple of quotes from the website...

There is much to see: From Gothic St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the Imperial Palace to the Art Nouveau splendor of the Secession, from the magnificent baroque palace Schönbrunn to the Museum of Fine Arts to modern architecture at the MuseumsQuartier. Record-breaking: In Vienna, there are over 27 castles and more than 150 palaces.

This is no contradiction - Vienna is a city of many facets. Electronic DJs are a part of Vienna as much as the Vienna State Opera. Trendy clubs, "young" galleries, modern architecture and stylish shops are as much Vienna as the concert halls, the large museums, the splendid buildings and the nostalgic shops.
----------------------

Very cool item running across EPT Vienna this year - http://www.wien.info/en/lifestyle-scene/viennale

VIENNALE - Austria’s largest film festival offers film highlights from around the world this year from 21 October to 3 November. More than 90,000 cinema fans visit the Viennale each year.

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

I've been to St. Stephen's and Schonbrunn both and they are must sees if you have the time. I would rate Stephen's a bit higher than Schonbrunn, but I am more used to the church style in Italy than the gothic style in Austria, so I found it a very interesting contrast. Also, the world famous Lipizzaner Stallions are based in Vienna at the Spanish Riding School. Another afternoon well spent if you have any interest in horses at all.

Hope that helps!

Hey Highland,

For 2010 - Prague

For 2011 thru the end of Season 7 - PCA and sadly no others at this point. The Grand Final possibly, depending on its location. We would love to have it at all EPT's but can't

Nope, since we haven't ever HAD a destination for the Grand Final, there was no destination to lose

I simply note it because when the Grand Final was Monte Carlo (and it still could be) we have Online DBI for all Side Events there.

Hi Pro,

Prague Sats start on Nov. 1st. For the most part, Sats usually begin approximately 6 weeks before the tourney.

Good luck!
