Hey guys,
Not sure if you guys have heard about all the madness here in Cannes. There was a 5 million guarantee on the main event which was short about a little over 700k euro and the casino started taking down advertisements on their webpages that had the guarantee listed. The owner decided to show up today and had this to say about it:

He also had a french version of this speech that had about 5x more content that included him basically saying all this happened because the young players are complaining all over the internet and have huge egos and aren't even at the making the final tables and they think they are special etc etc.
Long story short me and a ton of other regs are all boycotting this 25k highroller and i dont expect it gets over 30 players (i could be wrong but either way this has been a slap in the face no way i am playing it)
I am considering playing WPT paris next week which is a re entry 7500 euro event. I figure i would just substitute the 25.5k euro highroller with the 15k euro worth of buy ins for WPT paris. This is without question a better deal for investors since wpt paris main event will certainly be a higher ROI event than the cannes highroller.
I am not sure what the exact etiquette would be for this situation as i know some investors may or may not see this. Do you guys think its okay for me to just make this change and assume everyone will be okay with it since its clearly a better deal for investors or do you guys think i should message people individually asking if they are okay and approve of the switch? Of course whatever is left over after paris i will refund or can add future events to it whatever people desire doesnt make much of a difference to me but i figure anything i substitute it with will be better value anyways so most people would not mind. Thoughts?
