Yes site froze my DYM, 5 handed in BB with AQ suited, LOL NOT.
It all worked out well in the end for me, I qualify and got to see Guillem Bauza's 94th minute equaliser!
239 runners, 118 go through???????????????
Edit: 119 through now, KryptiaRed in 119
Looking at the lobby I see that 3 players went through with zero chips. Of 490 starters 245 were to survive, the 243rd, 244th and 245th place finishers went through with no chips. I can only assume they were all-in and lost on the last hand, but other players on other tables busted out a few seconds earlier and they still went through.

Tonights was alot tighter than fridays for me though.
Wasn't concentrating on folding and shoving enough
Date of the SURVIVOR FINAL
Quite a lot of players have written in about the date of the SURVIVOR Final clashing with the SPT Final.
I replied to several last week along the lines of "don't worry, if someone is in both, we'll find a work around".
Since then, I've had a lot more players writing to me, fretting about this date clash.
I sent all those notes to Suit-City, & they then decided to MOVE the date of the SURVIVOR Final BACK one day, to SUNDAY 8th of MAY.
I confess, the Suits made me aware of that date change late on Friday evening, but I've been a bit pre-occupied over the weekend with other stuff, so I forgot to mention it on the Community. However, the "SURVIVOR" landing page was immediately changed (on Friday) to reflect the date change, see HERE
*PLEASE NOTE FOLKS* The final of this is scheduled for the 7th May . This is also the date of the SPT at Leeds, afaik. It would be a shame if after weeks of grinding people could not play in the final.

Fair comment, Alan.
I would think the likely "crossover" between those who play this, & the 150 or so SPT regulars, is fairly marginal, though. And even then, "several thousand" (we hope!) will enter Survivor, & only 6 will remain by Grand Final Day. Not sure what the odds of a clash are, but pretty thin I'd think.
IF it happened, we'd find a work-round, please be assure
That is incorrect Alan, my reply was not "off-hand" at all.
I invite you, or anyone, to read it again, it was perfectly polite, & it just said what I mean't, there was no angle or sarcasm to it, I handled it without reference to upstairs, & I did so "on the hoof".
I am perfectly satisfied with how I handled the matter.
It seems to me good practice that if Sky Poker think a good point has been made by players, & they have made a mistake, then it can only be a good thing that the matter is corrected, & done so openly, & with clarity. I do not find apologising for the oiriginal date clash a problem, either, they & I are not perfect by any means, these things happen.
I answered the original question from you quickly, & politely, there was no "off-hand" about it.
Lists of "SURVIVORS"?
Yes, I'm hoping to keep the pot boiling, & do some Communityy Threads on player progress in SURVIVOR, but it just depends upon time issues, as I'm rather busy right now with stuff, but yes, it'd be good to try & keep everyone updated with various fun threads, & I'll start them as soon as time permits.
Hursty,
It was just something which, after reflection, & in view of the concern shown by quite a few players, the Suits thought might be better if it were moved back a day.
I said "the crossover is marginal, ......& the odds of a problem were pretty thin", & that remains exactly my view, & exactly the position, that has not changed.
The problem originally arose as it HAD been planned to start "SURVIVOR" a week earlier, but it was put back a week, & in doing so, produced the date issue.
I've always held the view that it's best to be honest, polite, & up-front with such matters, & that won't change, & if people want to try & put a spin on that, so be it.
3/4 for me and hardly played a hand.
Oh, wait......

i was just about to give poker a rest for a few weeks,(getting tired and losing interest in the game) then they go and put on a tournie like this to reinvigorate my interest. i have survived 3/4 so far and hope to continue. maybe i'll just do these for a while and see how things go.
