    Such as I am able, I'll try & field all reasonable questions here, may not always be immediately, but certainly within 24 hours, sooner if urgent.

    I'll also list those who qualify, as & when.

    Tomorrow morning latest, the first qualifier's name will be in the thread.

    I would love to qualify for this, just a couple of problems
    1, I am rubbish at satellites
    2, If I was lucky and won through,I would be scared stiff as  I have never played live poker and would probably be easy pickings for the real poker players out there!!
    This will not stop me trying though and I wish everyone trying the very best of luck

    Scared stiff? Nothing wrong with a bit of nerves, Nick.
     
    Little story.

    I've played 3 PLO8 WSOP Events in the last 18 months. At the start of each one, I was so nervous/excited/scared (combo of all 3) that my hands were visibly shaking & trembling. It was worst of all in the $1,500 last year.

    Poker players being the people they are, commented on this, & indulged in some gentle mocking & eye-rolling. It was so bad, I had to sit out for 20 minutes, go & get a coffee, until I calmed down a bit. 

    It's perfectlyu natural for some of us, you & me included. You'll be just fine one you settle down, I promise. I'll be there anyway, & if you are uncomfy, come se me & I'll help settle you.

    Ha, that is exactly what everyone at the table said.

    It sucks to be old, it really does. Still, at least I survived to be old!

    Sorry if this is covered elsewhere and I have missed it but, if you are lucky enough to win a seat into the main event via the satellites will you be able to choose which Day 1 you play?

    Hi Sweety,

    Good question. We are currently wrestling with this one, but will make a decision in the next few days.  

    The equation is this.....

    Most players usually prefers Day 1b. As a result, 1a is often half empty, & the "SOLD OUT" signs go up on Day 1B, & players get turned away. Neither is satisfactory to anyone.

    The decision will be made shortly, & we'll make everyone aware, here & elsewhere.   

    Good luck with getting a seat!

    Hotting up......

    The first of the Weekly Finals, this Sunday, already has 21 runners, with 1 in 5 getting the £1,100 seat, so 5 are guaranteed a place already. Between now & then, there will be 23 zillion Feeders & Satelltes into that, so am hopeful of a big number.
     
    Already in the Sunday Final are.....

    Morning all.
     
    It's only Saturday morning, & Sunday's Final already has 28 runners, with 1 in 5 getting a £1,100 Seat.
     
    There will be more satellites, Feeders & whatnots than you can shake a stick at between now & 9.15 pm Sunday, so this could very easily make 50 or 60 runners, meaning 10 or 12 £1,100 seats to be won.

    20% of the field will win one of those £1,100 Seats to the Sky Poker UK Poker Championship Main Event, which has a £500,000 Guarantee, & a 6 figure number up top. 

    Looks proper value to me. 

    Good luck!
