Post subject: NEW GPS Bounty Satellite - Sundays at 6pm - £430 seat ADDED as Bounty! |
  |
|
This is SO hot off the press, it isn;t even on our website or in the lobbies yet!
I'll let you know when it hits the lobby.
NAME: GPS Bounty Sat
Schedules: Sundays at 6pm until further notice, late reg for first hour
Buy In: £20 + £2 with £10 Rebuys and £10 Add On
Chips: 2000 / 4000 (RB) / 6000 (AO)
Prize Pool: 1 x £430 GPS Main Event Seat token Guaranteed, plus 1 x £430 GPS Main Event Seat token Bounty Added.
Details:
Each Sunday a top UK poker pro will play as a bounty in the GPS Bounty Sat. Knock him/her out and you’ll win their seat to a Genting Poker Series Main Event! You’ll get to play a GPS Main Event as our sponsored player! Note: The bounty seat you are winning is a sponsored seat, therefore you will play as a sponsored player. 50% of any money you win as a sponsored player in that event will be paid back to your sponsor (Genting), but remember the Bounty seat is ADDED value, it is not being deducted from the Satellite prize pool.
The other seats won in the Satellite (as part of the prize pool) are normal seats, not subject to any deduction.
The pro player will Rebuy and will take the Add On.
So take on the pro, take their seat and become a sponsored pro!
Rota:
Day Date Pro Nickname
Sunday 29-Apr Daiva Barauskaite Balticblonde
Sunday 06-May Joe Beevers Joe Beevers
Sunday 13-May Karl Mahrenholz NearesttheP1n
Sunday 20-May Ben Jackson Ben Jackson
Sunday 27-May Barny Boatman Barny Boatman
Sunday 03-Jun Paul Jackson 11BRS11
Sunday 10-Jun Ross Boatman Ross Boatman
Sunday 17-Jun Nick Jenkins Ripple22
Note: The rota is subject to change, so keep an eye on this thread.
Terms & Conditions & Rules:
1. This promotional satellite runs until further notice
2. The 1 x £430 GPS Main Event Seat Guaranteed )or indeed more than one if the prize pool allows is a standard seat, issued as a token which the winning player needs to use to register for their chosen day / leg online.
3. The 1 x £430 GPS Main Event Seat Bounty is awarded as a sponsorship package, the winning player will be contacted within 24 hours of the tournament finishing, will be expected to wear a Genting Poker or alternative brand patch, as required by Genting, and will play their chosen Main Event on the basis that they will return 50% of any monies they win in the Main Event to Genting.
4. The Bounty Player rota is subject to change, in the event of a late change we will post the change on our blog and on Facebook, Twitter, The Hendon Mob forum, and A World of Poker amongst others.
5. The Bounty Player will rebuy if available, and will Add On, therefore the player winning the bounty prize will be the player who knocks the Bounty Player out FINALLY from the tournament.
6. In the event of the Bounty player being knocked out in a 3 or more way pot, the winning player will be determined as the player who wins the main pot.
7. In the event of the Bounty player being knocked out by more than one player, who split the main pot, the player who finished the hand with most chips will be determined as the winner.
8. In the exceptionally unlikely event that the Bounty Player is knocked out by two or more players who split the main pot and have exactly the same finishing chips, we will award the bounty prize to the player who is sat closest to the bounty player’s right.
9. In the event of the Bounty Player winning the tournament, the Bounty seat is kept by the Bounty player, so they are playing seriously! In the event of a player winning a seat in the satellite AND the sponsored seat, the player will have 2 x Main Event seats to use as they please.
10. The Bounty Prize is not exchangeable for cash or any other prize, but is transferrable to other players.
11. This is a fun promotion and we reserve the right to exclude players who act contrary to the goodwill of the promotion.
12. Bounty winning tournament
13. Our decision is final
14. The promotion is subject to change, and is subject to general poker terms and conditions
15. E&OE

Promo looks great but this could be confusing. Will the pro player definitely rebuy 100%?
Can doesn't sound like it is 100%.
Is the bounty won twice if he/she does rebuy? Otherwise it might be possible for the bounty to be won and the pro decide that he wants/ doesn't want that person to have the seat and so he chooses to rebuy/ not rebuy as appropriate. |

| He wouldn't be 'knocked out' if he has the option to rebuy anyway. The bounty surely only gets paid when he is physically out of the tourney. |

I assume 'is' should be 'if'. It sounds like they're expected to make the Add On break, but I presume the pro can cease at any time?

Edited.
They WILL Rebuy and they will therefore be in long enough to take the Add On.

Already 5 players registered (which is the minimum), good luck to everyone that plays, hope to see you in Edinburgh. Don't forget if you qualify or buy in online for Leg 3 you'll be entered into our Grand Final seat last longest.

congrats LiveGrinder, I played the hand sooo wrong, normally i'd push or fold with the size of my stack, don't know why I flat called BalticBlonds' push and gave you the chance to push over the top with k5....  i'm such an idiot!
Good luck at the GPS

This event is amazing value.
The £430 bounty seat for knocking out the pro is ADDED and they only had 24 players yesterday!
The prize pool included some rebuys and add ons and so two £430 seats were paid out (in addition to the bounty seat) and there were small cash prizes too for 3rd, 4th and 5th!
The bounty next week will be ....me!
Put the date in your diaries NOW! Sunday 6th May at 6pm.
See you then.
Joe

Question: In this promotion it is said that if you knock out the Bounty, you win THEIR seat to the GPS, does this mean that for that GPS they are no longer a sponsored pro to this event and if they wish to play would they then have to buy their own seat?
Just curious
