Anyone have any rough idea on the expected numbers for this one, and whether or not satelittes are running for it anywhere?

There are sateillites on partypoker.com, and many live sats.

IT seems though the buy in is $4000 plus $400, with 3% held back for tournament, and extra 5% for local taxes...
I mean, thats a lot of rake, right?

rake is insane, don't go

luckboxed a package, going there from paris seems like a lot of trouble

which airport are you guys using?

ok booked my flight to Ercan, i'll be on the 20:55 flight on the 4 of august

if you are on the same flight and wanna share a cab to the casino, feel free to pm me

I want to take the time to give credit to the WPT, Party Poker, and Merit Casino and Resort for organising such a great tournament in all aspects. IT was by far the best venue that ive travelled to by a long way, and the tournament was good value and very well run by Matt Savage as expected. Above all, the all inclusive food both in the poker room, and around the hotel, as well as the quality service, really stood out, so thanks to everyone involved. and Congrats MadMarvin (back to back WPTs)
I´ll be back next year.

Thanks Kid, glad you enjoyed it as I did.

I am still recovering from that party though!
