I havent! Since i know you in IRL and you also live in England i just forgot to include you.

Very well done. I was wondering tho, if u played vs any famous pro / a november 9er?

Sorry guys still no more updates. I hope you all understand I am trying my best and realistically from today its still going to take some time. As soon as I know anything I will of course update this thread. As many of my previous backers will vouch for I have paid out all other stakes within 24hrs! The money is in a very safe place until the bank can finally accept it.

H_Liechtenstein - I was on the 3rd feature table on Day1C. I played with Jerry Yang for many hours eventually crippling his stack with AA v KK allin preflop. I'm sure unless ESPN are ******s there should be some clips of me with Jerry. I also got the pleasure of Barry Greenstein on my direct left on Day3 for around 6hrs. The only November-niner guy I played with was John Dolhan (sp?) on Day5. I played with him for over 8hrs... he was very solid and generally a nice guy. He criticised my play as I only had one play for most of the day which was allin or fold.... but what do you expect when you are sitting on a 20-25bb stack all day

any further update?

No more updates as yet. I rang the branch manager this morning who told me the paying in book was defo in the post.. but shes been saying that for over a week now. my hands are really tied until i get this. as soon as i hear some positive news i will be the first to let you guys know. sorry again but its really out of my control at this moment in time.

Timeline looks like this:

As soon as paying in book turns up I can deposit the cash the same day then convert with HiFX/Oyanda will take 5-7days and then deposit onto sites/bank xfer.

No paying in book yet all i have is confirmation that it has been sent in the post hopefully have better news come monday.

Finally some good news. The paying in book turned up today and I deposited the money this afternoon.. this takes 24hrs to clear since they have to courier it to head office. Hope to have it converted in the next 7 days. Thanks

ok cool thanks for the update

Money will be converted Mon/Tues. Not sure exactly how long the convert takes but i think its 3-5days then will pay everyone out asap. I am really sorry this whole process has taken really long but I am nearly there. I have tried to update this thread as frequently as possible.

Rich

youve done a good job with the updates, appreciate them.

Ok. I managed to convert the currency today. It cost around 1%... I will post exact numbers as soon as the transaction has cleared and funds are in the account I can upload to Stars/FTP. I still need to go into the bank tomorrow and make the payment in person. I hope to start paying out come Monday/Tuesday next week.

Thanks

Can i scrap the bank xfer and just have the dollars on ftp?

Yes nps Steven.

Payment confirmed at the bank done. Should take max of 48hrs as long as there are no problems from now on (i cant see why there should be) payments to you guys will start monday.

I am trying to get my Stars xfer limits increased right now in time for Monday.

Thanks

alright sounds good man, good work/updates on this.

any luck getting transfer limits increased?

I havent managed to get my limits increased as of yet as i have been away at UKIPT Ed all weekend and stars rejected one of my photocopies for not being clear enough. I will be able to pay all UK bank xfers and some % of the cashes out as soon as i next have secure internet access and not the iphone tethering i have been using. first payments will be made tomorrow... Thanks

Ok. I finally worked out all the charges etc.. I really got screwed over by having to take cash and not a cheque plus the fact I could give many people cash in person due to my flight leaving less than 15hrs after I picked up the money. The short of it is take the figures below and take off 3% and it will be correct.

On $38,100 (the exact amount I deposited after paying vivek 10.5k in cash) they took 0.5% = £127 (~$190.5) then they charged me £27 for sending the money from my USD acc and a futher $35 from the USD acc. Summing to $268. $38,100=£24,046.11 (exact amount i got off HiFX - the people who change money up). If i deposit £24,xxx on stars today @1.54888-1 then its worth $37,244.6. Thus all the charges sum to $268 + $855.54 which represents around 3%.

If I have paid you via bank xfer then i converted at 1.54888-1 which was the rate at the time.

I have listed below the people who I have managed to pay.. Its random who I paid out. Everyone will get paid in the next 7-10days. I'm going to ask some people to deposit on my behalf to get this moving.

Any problems with payouts feel free to PM me. I have double checked the numbers for those who I have sent to so far.

Thanks for investing sorry we all had to take a 3% hit due to a clerical error.

Rich

boom chika wowow

This thread was a superb example of keeping investors informed of what was going on. Obviously we understand it takes time to move money but the regular updates were great. Thanks.

Thanks! If either of you two can help me get £'s onto Stars and I can bank xfer £'s first then let me know pls.

I notice how someone got paid for side events. Now, which side events is this reffering to? Since I staked the 1.5k and the 2.5 6-max's, which I didn't think you'd cashed in. Is it the 1k full ring?

I have some stars $ I wouldn't mind a bank xfer for if you like, will PM you my msn

Yes these were the FR side events in the other thread. If I you for this i will pay them back at the same time.

I have managed to swap £10k with my friend for Stars money so hopefully I will be able to pay most people tomorrow assuming I can get on a fixed internet connection.

Thanks

Rich

got my transfer thanks
