I agree with the above...however I don't know if the technicalities will let it work?

So thats 10 hours start to finish. Not too long I guess but I'd still rather start a 10 hour tourney at 5pm than 7pm, although prob doesn't make much difference once your deep.

Congrats again buddy, hang around the forum cos we'll all be keen to know about your Aussie Millions experience.

Why not start it on midday or 1 o'clock on the sunday?

I was suprised there was no sunday events, often most peoples best time to play poker, compared to saturday mornong/arvo anyway.

So how do management see the event? Did it go as planned (runners and all)? I think all the events went way over guaranteed apart form main event (when you take the seat into account).

Will we be seeing more of these events in the future? I hope so...

Because we have away events that operate on a Sunday and some already take exception to special online event hosted on this day.

Definitely make it a two day event next time if we can. Start at 8pm Saturday night and recommence Sunday @ 2pm or something like that. Possibly, Maybe!

There will definitely be more of these, probably bi annually if not seasonally.

Unfortunately I would have liked to have seen a lot more runners in these events, at least 200 in the prelim and around 500 - 700 in the Main. So the prizes in the next one won't be as big unless 888 pony up for the AM seat.

High rollers structure will be changed next time and perhaps even increase the buy in to make it extremely exclusive.

This is awesome to hear. I loved the series (and not just cos I shipped a bracelet).

This was obv because of the mix up in start times. A 2day event would be epic sick.

I should bloody well hope so.

THIS!

I'm disapointed I did not have a chance to support 888PL this weekend (prior engagements), but I'd love to see something the $100-$250 buy in range IF the structure was right.
