Hi All,
Todd - 147 - There is no guarantee on EPT Berlin this year. Last year's guarantee actually cost our Germanics team €50K. First prize was €950,000 and they had to add money to the prizepool to hit the guarantee they offered. We don't believe in manipulating the prize pool to hit guarantees so the money was added. The guarantee was a great launch vehicle for EPT Berlin, but it is unnecessary now. The event drew 945 players and should hopefully be even bigger this year.
While we can't announce the dates yet, I can say that it is almost assuredly going to conflict with either San Remo or the Grand Final. The time slot chosen for WPT Florida is the exact dates of the Grand Final from Season 5 and Season 6.
Holdem - 148 - That is a new one for me, I'm curious where you heard it?
JP - 149 - Don't I get any time for a vacation???
Cheers,
Neil
