Danny,

I checked under the Event>>Macau tab and I'm a bit confused.

It looks like you have a few Red Dragon Phase 1 satellites that will be run online. But these are for entries to the Phase 2 satellite on Oct. 14 which will be run live in Macau.

Do you have plans to run Phase 2 satellites online as well?

Cheers.

The Phase 2 is actually online.

Also re my first post the rate for Friday/Sat is $2100 inclusive.

Will the cashgames be as good as during the APPT or is there going to be less traffic?

Hi Danny,

I was just at the Pokerstars Macau site and wanted to confirm that a direct buy in is possible to the non satellite events. Also, when does registration open?

Thanks for the answers.

MJC
