Hi, I really want to play the Punta Cana 1/4 final sats, but I'm also playing some live 3day events in the coming weeks. In the very unlikely event that I made a final table on Sunday of a live event and was unable to play the Punta Cana Semi Final on the Sunday due to this, could it be used for the semi final on the following week? If so, I can start playing the quarters. Cheers, Graham Posted by StayOrGo
Couldn't you just buy direct into the Semi Final on Sunday and take the money in the event you can't play?

Would be a good idea, but you can't register directly for the semi final. Not yet anyway.

Ah OK, figured as much since you were asking the qn but I was too lazy to check :P Don't see why they don't have the option yet for a direct BI to semi.
I was lucky enough to finish fourth in one of this week's Freerolls and won a bonus prize of a Punta Cana QF seat and subsequently won a seat into Sunday's semi-final.
I'm not in a position to go to Punta Cana which is why I haven't entered any specific satellites for it, I won my QF seat through a freeroll and to be honest played the QF aiming to finish in a place which was paying money but managed to outdo myself and finished fifth for a semi seat.
Expecting the answer to be no, I wasn't surprised when customer services said I couldn't de-reg and get the £190 BI for the semi-final place if I deregistered, but WAS surprised when I asked, if by some miracle I did the same again and won a QF place in tonight's freeroll and then won a seat in the Semi, that I wouldn't be eligible for a semi-final BI cash equivalent because I am already in the semi. I would just be awarded nothing at all?
Anyway on Sunday it will be a) the fist time I've played in a £190 tournament on Sky and b) the first time I will be looking to build up a massive chip stack and then carefully implode at the correct time to finish in the one (if there is one at all) place which awards a cash prize and not a place in the final!!

cos they seem recently to have stopped peeps buying in for the next level of sats for live events. means that if you're unsure you can play on the day there's no point entering.
What do people think about this scenario...

But think about if was direct BI how many people could actually afford to do that? Not many unless you're a pro. For us rec players it's great that we can manage to get through to qtrs and maybe get to semi's and then to finals! (hopefully winning a package!!)
In Response to Re: Punta Cana FAQ : 3rd time lucky I hope - any clarification regarding the 6 or 7 nights issue yet please? Thank x Posted by IrishRose
No, I never found the reason Rose, sorry, but I'll drop them a note.
The first of the weekly Semi Finals is tonight, with FIVE seats Guaranteed into the Final on October 4th. With one seat for every £880 in the Prize Pool, it already looks set to make at least 9 Seats. Think it could end up as 12 or more seats tonight.
These hardy souls will be amongst those playing, good luck to them all......
I'm afraid there will be no Super SAT on Saturdays going forward, there was simply nowhere near enough runners. Posted by Sky_Dan
In all fairness I think the supersat had no publicity at all and most people didn't even realise it was running!! I know I missed it completely and would have loved to have tried it.

Good luck tonight.

Meanwhile, last night was the Punta Cana Super SATurday, & congrats to tismond91 who won his way into the October 4th Final.
A whopping field in last night's Punta Cana semi, with no less than 56 runners, making 11 seats for the October 4th Final.
11 went though to join tismond91, who got in via the Super SATurday thing.
The legs eleven were.....
In the Final on October 4th, the TOP EIGHT win the Punta Cana package.
Still plenty of chances to qualify - every weekend there is a Super SAT & a Semi-Final.
Well played to all who got through last night very tough field to negotiate. Good luck all those in the qtrs and semi's
