Default SBR Forum Bash Poker Tourney

Ladies and Gentlemen, please find below the details for our Inaugural SBR Bash Poker Tourney:

Date/Time: 23 August 2008, 2:45 pm

Location: Grand Room, Golden Nugget Casino, Las Vegas NV

Entry Fee: $ 0.00

Game: No Limit Texas Hold 'Em





Special Guest Tournament Director: Evelyn Ng, Professional Poker Player

Prize Pool:

1st: $2000
2nd: $1200
3rd: $600
4th: $300
5th: $200
6th: $175
7th: $150
8th: $125
9th: $125
10th: $125


All Prizes will be paid in CASH at the Saturday Evening Banquet, compliments of SBR. There will be absolutely no entry fee, no rollover requirements, no "tip the dealer" scam. All expenses for this event will be covered by SBR, with the lone exception of any gratuity individuals feel is appropriate for the waitresses/bartender/dealers.

The whole concept behind the Bash is to reward and thank our loyal posters and also to raise money for a worthy cause. Towards those ends, Evelyn Ng from Bodoglife Poker has very graciously donated her time to help us as "Celebrity Tournament Director". More specifically, in addition to the published prizes, SBR will hold a voluntary supplemental prize pool. The entry fee for this will be $30, for which the contributor will receive an autographed picture of Evelyn, the opportunity to take a picture with Evelyn, and a shot at 50% of the money collected. If the tournament winner is in the voluntary pool, half of the money raised is donated to St. Judes Children's Hospital in his/her name and the winner gets the other 50% in cash. If the tournament winner is NOT in the voluntary pool, 100% of the money raised will be donated to St. Judes Children's Hospital. (example: 50 players + tourney winner in pool $750 to winner, $750 to St. Judes. 50 players in pool BUT tourney winner isn't then all $1500 collected donated to St. Judes.) This is strictly on a voluntary basis but we strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to do something good for a deserving charity. Of course we will gladly accept any donations greater than the $30 required to get in the voluntary pool.

Seating of players will begin at 2:45pm sharp and tournament play will kick-off promptly at 3:30pm. This event is limited to those posters who have already properly registered, however we will start a waiting list for any guests or posters who aren't already registered at 2:30. These spots are not guaranteed and are on a space-available basis. Any registered players who haven't checked in by 3:20 will forfeit their seat to the next person on the waiting list.

This is pretty interesting...... I think everyone agrees the number of people registered for the bash is greater than the number of people that show up for the bash.

IWYM: Guests can sign-up beginning at 2:30pm on the day of the event to be put on a waiting list for any extra seats. Your $30 contribution will be gladly accepted and i'm sure a player of your caliber wouldn't want any extra chips. Wouldn't that be kind of like shooting fish in a barrel?

Max: Why not just donate $60 from the start without going through the formality?

So nonSBR forum members have a chance to play? I dont like that idea. Also, I know we didnt fill the 140 seats for the tourney based on sign up numbers. Are you trying to fill it to that 140?

I dont think NonSBR forum members should be allowed to play.

PS: If you add some extra chips a lot more people will donate $30

Gents, thanks very much for the feedback! It's good to see that our posters feel strongly enough to respond. Your opinions are noted, but we are actually talking about an insignificant number of either guests of posters or posters themselves who hadn't initially registered for the tournament. The stand-by list will be used only to supplement any tables which are partially filled, so the number of "space-available" will be less than 10.

In reference to the donations, of course we want to encourage players to give freely, but it would be wrong to put those who choose not to do so at a disadvantage.

I would like this as well...I don't even have a clear idea on what time to arrive and not buying my ticket until Monday since I have no idea where I will be staying until then. No idea on what time a departure ticket is needed for either.

Sounds good. Thanks for the work Mr. D

BTW the poker tourney sounds great. I haven't played since they regulated online poker so should make an early exit but will still enjoy it.
