Payouts?

Clearly, a function of how many ruunners, & therefore the total Prize Pool, but at present, based on 500 runners, it looks something like this.......

WINNER - £110,000

2nd - £60,000

3rd  - £32,500

Hi memfy.

It is in the Lobby now, but does not open for registration until 2pm.

If you can't find it, it is in at least 2 places....

1) The UKPC tab

2) The Freeroll tab.

If you still can't see it, untick "REG ONLY" & it will appear, as if by magic.  

Tikay10

In tonight's UKPC Freeroll, blind levels increase every 5 minutes, & Late Reg is for 4 levels.

I would be surprised if it does not Max out - the cap is 2,000. Worth £1 a head of it fills, £2 a head if only 1,000 register.
 
Don't tell a soul, right?

That's a bit dissappointing. 

It's a shame to see no satellites for the 6 max event.

Yes, I'm sure it will disappoint a few, but this whole UK Poker Championship Main Event is a big thing for us, & we want to make sure that all our efforts go into the Main Event, & not spread the satellites around too much, otherwise it'll get terribly complicated.

Tikay10

Ha, get in lads, 30 after 6 minutes.

Reckon it will get at least, ooh, 100?

Fair enough. I understand and I think everyone will.

How will SKY bring people to the site for the satellites? As this is a big event will we see some ads in other channels like skysports apart from 861?

Also I saw that the event is planned to be televised on skysports also. What would the coverage be like? Just some highlights after the end of the tournament or is it going to be a live coverage?

Thanks George.

Advertising - we don't want to give too much away at present, but the Marketing plans have been carefully constructed, & you may well be see it promoted in various places.
 
The Sky Sports TV coverage will not be live, no. It will be a series of Shows built around the Festival as a whole, behind the scenes, sideys, preparation, organisation, interviews, with at least one episode concentrating on the Main Event Final Table.

There MAY be a Live Stream of the Final Table, possibly on 861 & elsewhere, but that has yet to be decided, there are some matters to resolve before that decision is made.
