The question was asked yesterday as to would there be bounty prizes for busting the Sky Poker Team, all of whom (Sam, Kirsty, Mark, James, Mr Ambo & me) will be playing.

    The answer is that there will be bounty prizes for all sorts of things which involve the Sky Poker "staff" crew.

    Some will be for busting them, some will be for random other things. 

    I'm not going to give the game away, but according to the SPT Manchester POA drawn up by Kirsty, we have a total of 24 prizes to give away. Mostly free tournament entries, but also some far more valuable stuff, too.

    These prizes include for busting us, but also other fun stuff.
     
    These are decent prizes, too. Not going to give too much away yet, but the combined value of the Bounty & Spot Prizes we will be awarding comes to around £3,000. (THREE THOUSAND POUNDS).
     
    Keep an eye on the various SPT threads as the week develops & you may get to learn what the prizes are, what they will be awarded for, & who will be giving away what.
     
    I will say this - good luck to Mr Ambo trying to run a bluff past 8 players all after his bounty prize, which is a BIG one.
     
    PS - the bounty for busting me is extremely small, deffo not +Ev to try & bust me.

    Hi TK, are prizes restricted to Sky qualifiers, Sky players, or any player that enters the event ?

    Morning George, also Mumsie.

    The prizes & bounties are NOT restricted to Sky Poker qualifiers, ANYONE can win them.

    Hi Boggo,

    See the reply by MickyBlue.

    From Manchester Piccadilly Train Station it is about a 15 minute walk.

    Hi mate,

    I don't have an exact number as I don't know how many seats the Venue has sold, though I think we are at or near capacity.

    However, there WILL BE alternate seats available, & whilst I can't promise, I'd be very surprised indeed if you could not get seated quite quickly. Obviously, the earlier you arrive & buy-in, the better.
