We now have 5 players in Tuesday's running of the £220 Sky High Roller, well done them.
Sky High Roller satellites continue today, with £10.50 affairs at 1730, 1830 & 1930. These have THREE seats Guaranteed into the semi final.
The Semi Final at 20.30 tonight has FOUR seats guaranteed into the target event on Tuesday.
Please note this does NOT replace the weekly Super Roller, which will run as normal at 8pm this evening.
Please note it carries a £15,000 Guarantee (so needing 150 runners) & I don't recall it getting that many since last winter. At the moment it has just 19 runners.
oioi
9 players are now in tomorrow's £220 Sky High Roller, being these 8, plus Brrrrrrr who won his seat in a Forum Comp & who will appear in the lobby later today.
Satellites continue today & tomorrow.
As of now, there are 15 confirmed entries, with another (Brrrrrr)due to be registered today by Sky Poker, so that's 16.
Here's the fab fifteen.....

£10.50 feeders, 1 in 5 go through, 3 seats guaranteed, @ 1730 & 1830

(In reply to Alan).
I assume they will be added Alan, but good spot, & I'll mention it to Upstairs.
I believe they will appear in the Highlighted section at the top one hour prior, too.
Banning players who are already in the target tournament reduces the number of players registering for the satellite. This in turn reduces the number of seats available, which reduces the number of players who bother to register the satellite, and you end up with a neverending downward spiral that will eventually result in the satellite being cancelled altogether, and that damage will only flow up the satellite pyramid and destroy guarantees in target tournaments, too.
Love them or hate them, satellite grinders do form an important part of the liquidity in satellites, particularly as they're often the first to register (Usually just go through and register everything they want to play at the start of a tournament schedule), so recreational players are also more likely to not just scroll past the tournament with zero runners which they would be far more likely to do otherwise - No recreational player wants to be the first one to reg a satellite an hour before it starts and have no idea if the game is even going to run - so they account for more than just themselves in terms of their contribution to the prize pool, rake, etc.
Yes, there IS sometimes a place for satellites being restricted to prevent people taking the cash value of a prize, but it's certainly not online MTTs that feed into another online MTT. When we're talking about Vegas/Punta Cana packages, for instance, there's far more reason to cut down on people grinding the satellites into a £500 - £1k BI final.
Really good event. I was pretty surprised that the numbers were so good...I sort of thought it would stagger over 40...maybe hit 46.
Some discussion on our table about getting more chips...personally I think it will finish late enough on what is a school night for most players and doubling to 10,000 and then knocking time off just makes it more random at the end when the big prizes are being played for.
We were also talking about the tournament running once a week and maybe the guarantee being £10,000 and I even asked if people thought there are enough people that would play a £500 once a month.
Somebody else suggested sit n go satellites would really help numbers. If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts on any of those things this is a good place for that sort of thing.
Final Table, with blinds at 1,500-3,000;
My plan is to write a Blog about the Tourney & send it across to Leeds by first thing in the morning. Not sure if they will publish it, if not, I'll publish it here.
I think the final situation was as follows.....
Granite89 = £4,408
TAPSOLAP = £2,999
Max_Bear = £1,786
belsibub = £1,444
mkgunner = £1,178
SenorBegs = £988
powRplay = £836
StayOrGo = £684
stack_u = £532
MUZOWNED = £456
And with that, it's goodnight from him.
Delighted that 2 of our Forum Fun comp winners made the Final Table, finishing 4th & 5th for a combined sum in excess of £2,600. Pretty decent return from a complete Freeroll, & we all had a bit of fun along the way.
That'll do nicely.
