Party on the verge of a $5m overlay in the Bahamas, can buy in for half of day two so will be interesting to see what happens as we near the end of the day ones

Highly unlikely to overlay, probably due to a mass of horse and pro re-entries and additions. Look at the Millions World I have a couple of friends playing in (their own cash I might add) - 1A 77, 1B 205 for a total of 282 going into Day 2 (almost 3m short of guarantee) and miraculously a hoard of 112 entries came to save the day for Day 2, missing the guarantee by 6 entries ($150,000). With the $197,000 of registration fees it "just about made it" - a common theme with DTD...er sorry Party Poker....oh damn sorry again, I mean "Party poker Live" events. They even delayed the late registration dinner break for another 30 minutes but said that "it's ok the registration cut-off was made at the published time, irrespective of the extension." Hmmmm I wonder if any more "slipped in under the radar" during that extension. Anyway, the main event $5,000 had 1A 185, 1B 337 and so far some 375+ in 1C to take it to around 900+. They need 1100 or so more for the $10m Guarantee, however there is a 2A and a 2B with many hours of registration on each so I suspect that the stable gates will all be opened and horses and pros will come thundering through to save the day. If not, then it is unusual and they will get crushed but if this happens then I would guess that it is a direct result of recent events. The usual suspects are all there including a few people who one of my friends says "no way bought in with their own money or PPL$." A lot of people have fired two bullets every day there apparently. I would have played these myself but to be honest with my experience last month I decided to wait until the EPT Prague for the main event and high roller events. Incidentally all of the pros and horses that are there in the Caribbean - I wonder if their entries, travel and hotel expenses have all been paid using their PPL$

I think maybe it is like Nottingham but on a larger scale with less horses so is interesting, especially as this is what I am most interested in having been stung myself.

Agree with many of the recent posts here - I really just hope that the authorities investigate the conflict of interest/ownership/stables-horses issues thoroughly and make everything more transparent and above board.

Be lucky!

Pretty bizzarre situation to be honest. Half way to the guarantee after three day 1 flights all over

Not like there can be 1000 party poker shills waiting to get it

If you're reading this and you're rich, go jump on a plane to the bahamas lol

Just done it - booked to fly Weds AM arriving at 10.30am to get into Day 2B expecting a big overlay!

Never underestimate the locust hords from party poker stables haha

they can be there from underground in a heartbeat just before registration closed


Rob, fire up those private jumbo jets baby

Just checking, when did you ask them?

Here's the PokerNews update from last night after Day 1C of the CPP Main Event wrapped up. Day 2A begins shortly.

https://www.pokernews.com/tours/part...ips.246759.htm

"All three starting flights are in the books in partypoker 2018 Caribbean Poker Party $5,300 Main Event, and plenty of work is left to be done if the $10 million guarantee is to be reached. After 451 turned up for Day 1c, the total entries has reached 958, just under half of the total needed."

"The unique structure of this event still allows plenty of time for entries. That's because not only does a few hours of Day 2 registration remain, but there's actually two different Day 2 options for players to fire on."

I based my decision to travel there on an estimate that they'll get to 1,500 entries. This will mean they're giving away $1,667 per entry, which is roughly my travel costs to punt for a 2-day trip (to be extended if I make Day 4).

If there's a massive late reg rush that gets them to 1,800+ entries, I'll be pretty annoyed, especially if it's a jumbo-jet load of BRS types...

as mentioned rob said he can do what ever deals he likes....so i wont be surprised if the gtd is short by afew $k

That was the bit you picked up on? Grimmer, cheat, but concerned some people may not like him! Aww bless you for caring about him.

Just engage a few people privately, maybe lead them in & watch them open up. You think people would post publicly given Robs form? No me neither!

Tell me, how did you feel when he cheated in the CL comp? Actions of a sound bloke? What about how he dealt with it? He could have apologised and owned it, but instead he got the thread removed. Solid bloke obv. Great life values

What was the overlay

Late reg still open till Day 2b hits the Dinner Break. No, wait, it’s still open to the end of the 90 minute dinner break.

There’s probably still time for them to add a super turbo Day 1, they have form for such things.

1208 entries so far.

(edited to add the last 8 entries)

1610 now ...

1767 as the final 90 minutes of late reg began.

1815, wondering how many bartenders and cleaners are playing...
and how many "pros" are on 4x bullets+?

Actually it didn't look like many, if any, under-qualified players were entered by anyone (except for businessmen entering themselves). What happened was the way the tourney was structured meant that all of the pros who were here just had to chase value by firing multi-bullets if they busted and had ample opportunities to do so.

As such, yes FML indeed, since the travel costs were far higher than the eventual overlay value, but then look how many Sklansky Dollars I won when a maniac "pro" at my table, who had already bagged over 6M in Day 2A, decided to go mental on Day 2B and arrived at my table with 10M chips. After maybe one orbit he had already pushed pretty much every other player at the table off winning hands with outrageous bluffs, all of which he showed, when he then proceeded to open-shove his SB vs my BB at 20k/40k for 1.6M effective (i.e. 40bb).

I'd say my AJo was 60% versus his range (and was 68.5% versus his actual hand of A8s), so he handed me ~$1,700 of equity with his shove, theoretically covering my entire travel costs.

Unfortunately, however, Sklansky Dollars can't be spent IRL and he knocked me out...FML indeed.

Anyway it's a beautiful resort, which I'll enjoy tomorrow, before flying home on Friday. I'm happy that I came and gave myself a chance to chase my dreams...

Wp, have a nice day tomorrow

The final numbers are an overlay of $925,000 of the $20,000,000 offered...even after the day 1s all finished leaving over $10m short.

I can't belive they managed these numbers without a stable of partypoker backed players getting rushed in for day 2B.

Wonder how many unique entries there were, and how many people had the maximum number of bullets.

Yes brother, and all the 1326 of the time you have AJo + lol. Your ev I that spot is lot way less than that.
If there were antes involved he didn't have 40bb,as you need to use adjusted BB otherwise playing incorrectly

Sorry to wake u up from your dreams,but his ev of that shove is way better than - 1600 rofl if the only variables u looked at was your equity and stack. U need folding range too where he scoops up all the dead money

Must be a good few people in for $30-$50k.

24th place is $35k

Good luck to Lipofund in day 4 of the CPP, be quite incredible if he ships it off the back off this thread.

Hell yes - maybe he might avoid the ban then.

If he´s really lucky he might even get paid.

With real $, not the PPL one
