Grand V is now one day

[billyjex]

The upcoming pokerroom tourney, which was scheduled for 2 days like the previous ones, is now scheduled for one day. Gonna be a long day (14h+) if you make it.

Here's an e-mail I just got:

There has been a very recent change to the Grand V tournament that is scheduled to commence at 3pm EST Saturday December 17th.



This tournament was initially scheduled to be a two day event with play running for approximately 6.5 hours on Saturday with the conclusion on Sunday.



Due to a technical problem discovered this week by the network administrators it has been decided to run the Grand Tournament 5 as a one day event to ensure that it runs smoothly. It will still commence at 3pm EST on Saturday December 17th and will run until the winner is crowned.

Rest assured however, that the tournament is still providing a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000.

Please accept my apologies for this scheduling change and the late notice.

Is an overlay likely? I was under the impression that this was a relatively small tournament.

this is the first one i will play, but i'm pretty sure they've met 500 the last couple times or very close to it.

536 in Grand IV and I think Grand III was over 500.

They're not allowing direct buy-in's for this one. A friend of mine won the last one and he told me last week that you have to qualify for this one. So the field might not be as large.

You can buy-in for $1000 if you want. 181 signed up so far.

I'll be there provided that you can buy directly in. I was looking forward to it as a two day event, but I guess I'll need to prepare myself for some possible marathon poker on Saturday.
