Party Poker World Open

[StableHand]

I just won a seat to the PartyPoker World Open in London, Apr.2

Does anyone know anything about this event? Anyone here in it?

I played in a $10+1 sub-sat with two seats in the $300+30 satelite, where there was one $17.200 package for this event. Entry-fee $14.000.

With a fixed pool of $1 mil. I reckon there are only 70 entrants, but the event is scheduled for 9 (!) days. What's the deal on this?

This is the biggest entry tourney I have ever participated in, and my first big satelite win. I tried a few WPT and EPT sats at PStars, but never made it. I've only played a few tourneys at PP, took a while to adjust to the structure, so I'm kinda pleased with this one.

Haven't gotten any details from PP yet, other than the Congrats-email, and I haven't been able to find any info on this event.

If the package was transferable I'd consider taking the cash. Is there a way to sell or transfer the Party Packages?

Thanks

Thanks!

I do know what it entails from what is on the info page on
http://www.partypoker.com/news/event...ellite-05.html
which is another tourney than the one you posted a link to.
I was just wondering if anyone knew any additional information.
I did read the T&C, but as I'm not that familiar with Party was also wondering if there was any way at all to cash the package.

Thanks again.
