Is the ME a re-entry? If so can you re-enter on the same day or is it one of the following days?
Shame about the Omaha tournment being dropped - I would have made a decent effort to try and qualify for that. Won't bother for 8/9 max Hold'em. Posted by FCHD
Hi Barny,
I agree - obviously! - & it so nearly did have an Omaha jobbie, it was in the provisional schedule, but there was just not quite enough room & time to squeeze it in, more especially as it is always a struggle to get numbers for PLO Events. Shame really.
I'm utterly convinced that eventually, one day, probably long after I'm gone, Omaha & it's variants will be the game of choice, it has so many subtleties & nuances, & is a real thinking game, full of surprises.
Would have been great to see you there, too.
Have to say, we spent absolutely ages trying to balance the schedule, there must have been 50 different draft schedules. It's quite a thing to get these Festival schedules "just so".
I hope this series will be a massive success,credit to all at dtd and sky for the massive organisation and logistics involved,I would dearly like to play the mini.,in fact if it was possible to reg on sky site I would do it in a heartbeat after my lucky bink in a tourney last week,sadly that option is not available to me or others who would perhaps like to enter this one.i know I could take the money out of my account and buy in on dtd site,but it is such a faff to me to do that,(also explaining to a non poker playing wife that taking £300 out and entering a £110 tourney is a good move is rather difficult lol)
I hope this post is received in the way it is meant, good luck to all that play and once again a massive thumbs up to Rob,Simon T.K and all involved.

Hi Tom, & thanks.
Unfortunately, one of the effects of the new Legislation is that Sites can no longer offer this option (a Direct Buy-In on the site). Even the mighty 'Stars have had to cease offering it.
In the case of the Main Event, the Sky T & C's state......
"5. We are not offering player's the opportunity to buy in directly to the event via the poker lobby, using funds from their account. This is until further notice."
..which is due to the new legislation.
Will there be Satellites?
It's possible, but I don't know. I think it depends on how numbers go for the Main Event, as the targets are pretty stiff.
The matter has been discussed & is under review. I would not be confident it will happen, but it is being considered.
It goes without saying that I hope there are, but, you know how it is, wheels within wheels, priorities, da de da.
Tikay, any idea why the new red tape restricts direct buy ins across the board? Appreciate it isn't really your field but if you could shed any light on it I'd be interested.
Coming down for the mini and maybe more, will shout you a latte!

HI Graham,
I've no idea what the mechanics of that are, Graham, you had best ask one of the guys who do it.
I THINK they buy-in to the Target Tourney first, & then de-register when the Satellite starts, but I honestly don't really know.
