gotta take the helicopter!

This is really sweet, missed san remo because of scheduling this year so i'm excited to go back.

Not that I especially care but I thought the womens event was going to be a €2k?

Hi RPH,

I have always taxied it there (usually chopping it). The other posters can give you better advice than I can on helicopter, bus, train, etc...

Hi Rupert,

2K is too big right now. We do three big Women's Events a year, London, PCA and Grand Final with a 300 at all other stops. Still working hard (and successfully I think) to grow that demographic on the EPT.

Hi Never,

I always listen, I just have to find room to make the changes

You'll see more 30 minute 1K's on EPT9.

Neil:

1. When can we expect the IPT San Remo schedule to be published?
2. If the answer to (1) is not within the next 2 days, can you give us the exact buy-in amounts and dates for the high roller and main (mostly care when the main ends for scheduling purposes)?
3. Are there any discounted hotel rooms available for IPT San Remo and if so how do we obtain them?

Hi Todd,

1 - It's approved. It's with the web and graphics guys right now, so I'm assuming this week. 5K HR (re-entry) on Wed/Thurs using the EPT 10K HR Stack and Structure. 2K Main with 1A on Thurs and 1B on Fri and FT on Monday the 7th. 1K Side on Saturday the 5th. Lots of smaller stuff, but those are the highlights.

3 - http://www.ipthotels.com/home.aspx# - Site is only in Italian at the moment. You can also contact g.deleonardo@travelrounders.com. He is the man behind IPTHotels.

OMG , drooling , now I HAVE to go , much <3 Neil

Is it accurate that we can play on PS.com in Monaco, but not in France or Italy?

Pretty sure if PA can play on Stars from a Monaco residence, we can as well

iirc we can play from italy but that might have changed, def monaco though

You aren't "allowed" to play from Italy but it works with no VPN. So your choice. Monaco is def fine though IIRC

From EPT site: When is this info going to be published? The event is a month away now.

Also, how do we transfer funds to the venue for re-entries etc?

Thanks

Which hotel is the best?

Is Internet free in both?

For online qualifier we can pick the MC Bay or Le Meridien...

I understand that:

MC Bay
charge 20euros/day/computer for the internet
nicer room than the other
casino is in the hotel
no breakfast include

Le Meridien
free internet
got to walk 200m ( no big deal )
free breakfast

So far, I better like Le Meridien. Anything else I should consider ? Too, according the website of Le Meridien, it says that there are tennis courts. Is it part of the hotel, is it free for the guests ? Cuz I feel like there is nothing free in monaco except for the air and the sea ( not sure for the sea ) ...

-jpp

I was told that I have the Le Meridien and didn't seem to get a choice, not that I minded overly either way. Private beach sounds fun though.

would be nice if someone, maybe neil, could answer these question. I'd like to know that as well.

I've fill up the regonline thing for the online qualifiers, and they never ask. Unless , I don't know informations, so far I better like Le Meridien, I'll be tilt for the all trip if I start every day with a 30 euros breakfast !

-jpp

Just play chineese poker with chineese people to pay your trip

Which has a nicer gym, MC bay or Le Meridien?

3 weeks to go. Can we have the direct registration info please?

Neil,

I emailed EPT, but maybe you can tell me quicker--do you know the dates for the last MC satellites being run in the client? Interested in all forms--FPP, daily cash sats, weekly cash sats and steps.

Thanks!

Hi All,

Todd - 58 - IPT Grand Final Schedule - http://www.pokerstarsipt.com/tournaments/sanremo7/

Shaniac - 61 - Confirmed. You can play on .com in Monaco . You can also buy into all events during the EPT Grand Final with your PS account and you don't need to be Platinum or above. All events are available now, go on the client and go to EVENTS - EPT - QUALIFIERS.

Raid - 65 - Wire Info for Monte Carlo...

***Important Note - All players wishing to wire money to pre-register for specific tournaments need to email registrations@pokerstars.com for those wire details. All players wishing to wire a lump sum amount to the venue should wire to the above details. Please include your full name in the above wire. They can also only accept wires from individual people, not from companies. A company wishing to send funds for multiple individuals should email PS Reg.

Piquette - 67 - Internet and breakfast are free in both locations. Not sure on gym or tennis courts. Easiest is just to call the hotels directly and inquire. To my knowledge we have not worked out any special rates for gym or tennis, if there are existing charges.

The venue is also not inside the MCB. It's about a 2 minute walk from MCB and 4 minute walk from LeMeridien. I've stayed at both and they are both great!
