Phamous Poker Series VII 12/26-12/28 Phamous Poker Series VII 12/26-12/28

Having just reviewed the December promotions at WSOP.com, I see no mention of satellites to this series. It seems that given the success of the last series in October as well as the Circuit stop last month, PH would be putting up loads of sattys on the online site for this short series.

Given that the dates are typically among the slowest for tourism, catering to the "local" crowd would be a sure boost to the expected numbers. Each of the last two series at PH (PPS and Circuit) have surpassed the guarantees on almost all offerings. I am sure that based on the attendance of these two past events, the organizers are again confident in meeting the goals of any guarantees offered. (Series is announced on PH poker room website but no info of offerings is posted as of 12/02/2014).

Last year, the series ran 10 events over 4 days and WSOP.com was still building it's momentum having only been in business +/- 3 months or so.

This year, I'm not sure why the marketing department at WSOP.com is not taking advantage of the increased traffic due to the demise of UP and offering a slate of satellites (which over the past 2 local events have been underserved in my opinion) for this series.

I would love any feedback from the community.
