I know I most likely get an insult once again but would you care to answer question about your last tournament.

1.What amount did the Charity get?
2. Why do you belive after posting $300+70. and taking $12600 in fees you shoud take an additional $6000 from the poker players out of the prize pool.
3. This money went to the Windy City Poker TV Show. So when the poker player are playing for there prize pool, The TV show should get 6k for production cost that they are profiting from. why was this done?

So this tournament has a really big $50 rake (25%). What happens if you don't get 200 player how much money from the prize pool will you take this time and how small will the fine print be?

[MainEventJohn]

These questions have all been answered. There was no "fine print" as you are accusing. Every player who played in the tournament was sent, well in advance of the tournament, the Terms and Conditions of the tournament, especially as it related to the prize pool and the TV aspect of it.

Oldmangrimis, you never read or were even sent the Terms and Conditions of the TV tournament because you were NOT in the tournament. You were NOT in the tournament because, as everyone knows, you have been banned from playing in Main Event’s poker room. Most Main Event poker players know that you once were a dealer for Main Event, but were asked to leave and never invited back to deal because of your lack of integrity while dealing, which brought about your ban as a player.

I just saw the blind levels on Main Event's site for the March 20th tournament. Sweet. I just registered. Allowing for 26 hours of poker for this tournament is a great idea to ensure they don't run out of time and have to alter the blinds. This blind structure is a poker player's dream!

John you say that the questions have all been answered. where can I find to my question. no where have the question I ask be answered
1.What amount did the Charity get?
2. you posted $300 + 70 that mean you have to have $300 was to go to the prize pool. not all the correct money went to the prize pool. You can't have your terms controdict this.
3. have you post any reply why the TV show got $6000 of the player money
4. it took over amount to find out how much went where and you where hidding info.

If you ask half of the player there where mad bacouse of this extra amount that was taken from the prize pool. 10 player have posted how bad the event went and how mad they where. you where not even at the event

I was never a dealer for your group and no one of your group has ever ban me. Last event I went to, I played and cashout and no one said anything to me. You migth be mad but I have post only fact that you did not want player to know, I will not play at you event becouse how how you reply to my question and you still did a bad service to the poker player of Il.

There are still a few seats open to the big 2 day event if you plan on attending we strongly encourage everyone to pre register @ www.maineventcharitygames.com.

We are looking to break the old record of 180 players which would make it the largest poker tournament in Chicago poker history.

There are currently 90 players pre-registered for the 2 day event putting the prize pool at $18,000. There is still time to pre-register and prepay for the event. If you plan on attending assure yourself a seat by going to www.maineventcharitygames.com to preregister. This event will most likely sell out and is open to the first 200 people who pre-register. All other 2 day events have sold out so we strongly encourage everyone to pre-register.

Satellites for this event will begin on March 6, 2010.

This appears to have been postponed, is that correct? What was the reason? How many players do you usually get for this?

[MainEventJohn]

I was notified last week that there were issues with the issuance of the Charity's license and that it was not going to be issued in time. So, rather than take a chance on having to cancel at the last minute we postponed it as soon as we received the news. As soon as we hear that the issues have been resolved the event will be rescheduled and a new date will be published. As of right now, the issues have not been resolved. We were expecting, and were on schedule, for getting 150 players for this tournament.
