Cash in my seat??

edited April 2015 in Poker Chat
Hi all, having managed to freeroll my way to the Vagas 3.2 K final (£350 buy in) just wounded if i had the option of canceling my reg and banking the £350. Not sure about my availability for this game and think i have probably used up all my luck. Just to also say i played most the QF on the same table as Lolufold (sky poker pro) and noticed he de- registered having also qualified for the semi? comments please.

    Hi - as far as I know you can only cash out your seat IF you'd already bought into the event before you won the seat.  That way you'd be given the cash equivalent of the seat when you qualified but you'd then also be free to cancel your buy in after you win seat and get your original buy in back (so cash out lol).  However if you havnen't already bought in before winning the seat and you try to cancel the seat it will refund your original buy in which was zero.........  and then you wouldn't even have your seat either.

    Sky cc might be able to help you - but I've not known them to do it to be honest.

    Please play it.
    I know 350 quid is a lot of money esp as a free roll spin up but to go play in the Wsop!? That's the stuff dreams are made of. What an experience that would be and with a little luck you could win a sum that could actually change your life. Go on, go for it...YOLO!!

    I absolutely agree with this ^ I did just that from a free roll and will never forget the experience, also a brag for life ;)

    Play in it give it a go, it's a dream, you could qualify go to Vegas win a bracelet and a lot of money. Obviously in reality like the rest of us you won't succeed, but unlike you we won't be wondering did I miss my chance.
    The seats are there they must be won so why not you, it must be someone.

    Yeah you would need a valid reason why you can't play it to have any hope of getting it refunded... for future reference if you play any satellites you should always buy into the "target" event (ie. the tournament you will win a seat into) - that way if you win the seat and you can't play, you can de-reg and take the money.

    but with the vegas sats sky won't let you do that, so no point playing unless you are free on every day of the ladder

    sorry, all I can think of now is the team description of you as Rus Cro in "beautiful mind" whenever you post.

    you are no longer "tennis bloke".

    Not entirely true, think I have cashed 3 or 4 times from the Vegas freerolls by buying in to the target tournament and deregistering and taking the cash.

    Check the lobbies geldy, there are plenty of players in the final who are playing semi and quarters as well. Why play if they are not "sat for cashing"?

    Just wanted to say thank you for everyone that supported all on the final tables. Yes the final hand was a "bad beat" but you know what Im NOT in the least unhappy at least I cashed in some money. It was a fantastic experience.
    It was a great final and I shall be trying again to get into the next ones but whatever happens these games are what dreams are made of although at my age Ive probably had all the dreams lol. 
    So what I wanted to say was GOOD LUCK ALL OF YOU IN VEGAS and win win win.
    Have the most fantastic time,

    Think you will get an e-mail from them in the next week or so.

    Get plenty of sleep before you go - Vegas is 24/7 non stop fun.

    Well done.
