    No Livestream

    I gather the casino has decided to do SNGs for their 20 seats and not a live satellite

    Ring the casino and ask for the poker room to check availability of those seats, thanks

    Checked their web site earlier, but could not find the answer.

    Are plastic cigarettes allowed to be used in the casino?

    The event is sold out

    We will open an alternates list on a first come first served basis from midday Saturday at the venue. The list will be with me

    Alternates for three levels and I would anticipate 15 or so players getting in via early exits

    Thanks
