Pacific Poker is offering FTR members some unbelievable deals and promotions. If you are located outside of the US, FTR invites you to play in these exclusive tournaments which are available ONLY to Flop Turn River members where you could win a World Poker Crown seat (valued at $1050) and many more prizes! Here are the details:

On Sunday April 20th at 20:00 GMT (15:00 ET), Pacific Poker will be running an exclusive FTR invite only $25 + $2.5 tournament, with the following prize giveaways:

* For every 10 players participating in the tournament, one World Poker Crown seat (worth $1,050) will be given out

Awesome promo. I've signed up and ither than the max of 1 table at a time things are looking good.

One question though, when will we be able to register for this tourny? I don't see it listed in the lobby yet.

[mrickett]

it should hopefully be set up by later today korn

[Markane]

Hi everyone, the tournament will be set up later on today and should hopefully be visible by tomorrow. As long as you have signed up through FTR then you will be able to register for the tournament up to the day that the tournament is held.

Good luck to everyone and have fun.

Errm, if I followed a link from another site to download and install pacific poker, does that mean I'm not eligible for this?

[AHiltz]

So do you have to just be an FTR member, or do you have to have joined through a FTR link? Seems to be some conflicting info in this thread.

[Markane]

This WPC tournament is exclusive to FTR, so you will have to register a new account through one of their Pacific Poker links if you do not already have an account with Pacific Poker. The tournament registration will only allow players who are tagged to FTR to register to play. Being a member of FTR Forum is just a bonus to you not a requirement to take part in the tournament

So as long as you have clicked through to 888 Pacific Poker and registered an account from www. flopturnriver .com then you will be eligible for the WPC tournament this Sunday. If you are unsure if your account is correctly associated with FTR then please send your 888 Pacific Poker username to one of the FTR guys and they will send it to me for verification.

In my haste of signing up for this promo I deposited the full $400. Looking more closely at the bonus, I don't know that it will be possible for me to clear it (5600 comp points) within 30 days

Do tournament fees count towards comp points at all?

Unfortunately no, tournaments don't award any Comps. I believe the bonus is released in $1 increments though, not just one lump sum.

[KoRnholio]

"F) The Pending Bonus will be remitted to the player's account in one lump sum as soon as the player has collected 14 Comp Points per every $1 of the Total Bonus, all within 30 days of his/her first deposit."

"(H) In addition to collecting the Comp Points, a player wishing to receive the Pending Bonus will be required to generate rake at an amount of two (2) times the Pending Bonus amount."

Looks like this bonus is going to go to waste for me, I really should have read the fine print on the pacific poker page before I deposited. From what I had read before this, it seemed that it would be released in increments

[pokerfan]

Back in 2006, i already had a pacific account, deposited once, cleared my bonus and never played there any more from then on. Am i still eligible for this offer if i signed up a new account through FTR link?
multiple accounts allowed?

[Markane]

This tournament is open to new and existing players as long as you are tagged to FTR. The registration for the tournament is set for all FTR players old and new.

[bjsaust]

So if I already signed up after following a link from another site, can I sign up a 2nd account through FTR somehow?

[ttanaka]

I don't believe you're allowed to have multiple accounts, but we'll have Mark address that!

[Markane]

I'm afraid you are not allowed to have multiple accounts, if you have already signed up to 888 Pacific Poker through another site then you will not be able to create a new account through FTR. However you can inform one of your friends or family members of the WPC tournament and they can register a new account through FTR and take part in the WPC tournament this Sunday.

Hi everyone,

Why do the terms of this promo keep changing?

The buyin is now 1c+$27.50, and the $1050 WPC seat is now being given away at random to 1/10 people. First prize is only $500 *scratches head*

Those terms have never changed.

[KoRnholio]

My bad then.. I read it as a satellite tournament where the winner got the $500 ticket, and then top finishers got a $1050 ticket (1 per 10 players).

How will the random players be determined?

[FTR_Calendar]

This event starts in less than 3 days.

[FTR_Calendar]

Under 48 hours left before this event begins.

[FTR_Calendar]

Less than 24 hours to go until this event starts!

[rowey]

Wow, we only got three people for this tournament so it got cancelled.

Disappointment

[KoRnholio]

Canceled as only 3 people signed up

[KoRnholio]

Very disappointing... Could the three of us still get those $100 sub-sat tickets? We did sign up tracked to FTR after all.

[AHiltz]

Pacific has been around for ages. I signed up there as one of the original rooms I played at, long before finding FTR. I'm sure lots of other people were in the same bout.

[pokerfan]

i guess it is the result. i signed up long time ago and this poker room's been well known for a long time on the net.

[Markane]

Hey guys,

Thank you for the effort that you guys put in to play in the t0urnament, it is a great shame that only three people signed up to play. For those of you that did sign up to play please send FTR your usernames and they will forward it on to me and I will see what I can do with regards to those sub satellite seats. No promises however but I will do my best.

Thanks

My username is Stonenu9

Thanks Mark.

[rowey]

Username is rowey123.

Cheers

[Markane]

Hi guys, OK I have submitted both your names to be entered into one of the WSOP sub satellites. I will update you when I have further details, the tournament organisers should hopefully send you an invite as well.

Mark

[Markane]

OK quick update for rowey and KoRnholio, looks like you're going to be entered into one of the WPC sub satellites now... Will keep you updated.

Mark

[Markane]

Guys, you're signed up for the WPC satellite on Friday at 15:05.

Good luck.

Mark

[KoRnholio]

Excellent. Thanks Mark.

[rowey]

Thank you very much for organising this Mark. Much appreciated.

[rowey]

Hey Kornholio can you see which tournament we're registered in? I can't find any tournament I'm regoed for, the "My Tournaments" section is blank too.

[KoRnholio]

Hey Kornholio can you see which tournament we're registered in? I can't find any tournament I'm regoed for, the "My Tournaments" section is blank too.

I can't see it yet either. There are others of the same type running today and tomorrow though. It's probably just not listed yet. If it's still not there tomorrow then we should pm Mark.

[Markane]

Hi guys,

Let me check with the tournament guys... Will get back to you shortly.

Mark

[KoRnholio]

The tournament is up now, but we aren't pre-registered. When I click register it says $110 to enter, I don't have a ticket for it.

[KoRnholio]

2 hours until it starts and the situation is still unchanged... I pmed you Mark.

[rowey]

No word yet guys?

[KoRnholio]

Looks like they missed the boat on this one.

Mark would it be possible to register us for another satellite or two? There are a bunch of $45 ones running now. I've entered a couple but no luck yet.

[KoRnholio]

New update: rowey we are registered for the last $105 tourny. But it's at 7am EST on saturday This is a real bummer. That is 5am my time, no way I will wake up just for a super turbo satellite (1k chips, 5 minute blinds).

Mike if you see this could you reply? I doubt it will let us unregister and take cash for the seat, but there's no way I can play at that time. I've already played a few $45 satellites and will play more if I get cash for this seat...

[KoRnholio]

I guinea pigged myself and unregistered. I didn't receive money or a ticket. It asks for $105 now when I try to re-register

[KoRnholio]

I called support and they said they won't be able to add me in time for any other the other satellites tonight. But they will re-register me tomorrow in the 07:00 EST tourny... See you tomorrow morning rowey

[rowey]

haha the tourney that just got cancelled was actually on at 5 am over here in Australia so I woke up for nothing

Guess I'll see ya there Korn.

[KoRnholio]

Well I didn't get re-added, even after calling support again this morning. I can't say I'm too pleased with how this all worked out.

Good luck rowey.

[rowey]

Wow that tournament was super hectic had to get top 50 out of 500 odd with the 1k stacks and 5 minute blinds, but I made it through! Off to the big dance!

That sucks Korn, I feel really bad for how it played out for you since you were the one who organised those seats for us

[KoRnholio]

Well it kinda worked out in the end... I threw another $120 or so at satellites and just won my seat with half an hour to spare :P

Probably my bad mostly for guinea pigging myself. I thought that a site with such a long history would have some sort of ticket system in place. Apparently not.

Good luck in the tourny rowey, unless you are at my table

[Markane]

Hi guys,

Sorry for all the mix up, I got an email late night on Friday when I was already in bed and off work that you guys were registered for the 50 Seat Guaranteed tournments at 07:05PPT as they missed the upload for the tournament that was previously arranged.

How did the tournament go anyways?

[KoRnholio]

I finished around 700th after my pocket tens didn't hold up against a luckbox's A9 soooted.
