Ladies and Gentlemen!
If you've got poker skills, this is the thread for you!
Registration for the Galactic Poker Championship is begins today, and ends on Friday, 5 October at midnight Eve Time!
Registering is an individual event: 1,100,000,000 (1.1bn) ISK will enter you into the Galactic Poker Championship. The Eve Championship is a winner take all event, brought to you by Axiom Empire, Steel Rat, and Dax Entertainment.
Each game will be held via a no-limit Texas Hold'Em tournament on the Axiom Poker servers. Each entrant will participate in one of several elimination rounds. Dependent on the number of tables that get filled, either the first place, or the first and second place winner of each table will advance past the single-elimination tournament to the final table, to fight for the collective jackpot of however many billions of ISK have been paid in by the participants.
Elimination Table Rounds are schedules as follows:
Game #1: Saturday, 6 October at 1600
Game #2: Saturday, 6 October at 2000
Game #3: Saturday, 6 October at 2400
Game #4: Sunday, 7 October at 1600
Game #5: Sunday, 7 October at 2000
Game #6: Sunday, 7 October at 2400
If you can fit one of these billets, come get some!
The date and time for the final game will be determined by availability of each participant, polled after the conclusion of all 6 preliminary elimination rounds.
Tournament Registration Fees are due to Curzon Dax no later than 00:00 October 5, 2007.
Spectators may watch any qualification round or the final round at the cost of 25,000,000 ISK per spectator ticket. All ticket proceeds will be paid to Steel Rat.
The Hold'Em server and client that will be used for the tournament can be found here.
For questions, contact Curzon Dax in-game.
Want a game? Join channel Axe Hold'Em. Games run virtually non-stop, 23/7.
See YOU there!

At least I've got time to widen my wallet some before plunking down 1.1bil. I've been playing in the EVE channel "Axe Hold'em" for several weeks, and it's nothing but great guys and gals all around. As long as I can come up with the ISK to spare, I am definitely in on this tournament.

Hi,
Sounds like a lot of fun, but I won't be able to make. I've been having fun and making isk in that channel for a while now.

If anyone wants to sponsor my entry I'll play.
To me 1.1m is more then my entire bank roll so I can't risk it on one tournament.
Good luck to everyone involved, if you see me there I won a 100m, 9 player event.

If I actually had 1.1 billion isk to toss in, I'd gladly do it. Been playing Axe Hold'em for a very long time now, and actually funding my PvP and ship acquisition wallet from this channel.
Plus, come on. It's the championship! How awesome is that? --- What doesn't manage to kill you... has made a tactical error.

In the spirit of ESPN and the WSOP, I want Eve-TV broadcasting the final table
I'll definitely be playing this event. And hongdingdong, if you're out there somewhere (I know you are, since you stalk these threads), I hope you can wiggle your way into this one. Your all-in 56o won't beat me a second time, and your billion ISK belongs to me.
Just an idea: The Eve-TV broadcast was a joke, but since Axe Hold'em already has a small contingent of players with connections to Eve Radio, what are the odds of getting a little play by play broadcast of the final table? Potentially too boring for the bulk of the audience, but poker IS ridiculously popular these days!

Actually, General Starscream, Miss Fiona, hongdingdong, and a couple other Starscream alts have been channel-banned and IP blacklisted.
I'm not so sure you'll see them in the Poker Championship.

Good luck to everyone involved, if you see me there I won a 100m, 9 player event.
If anyone has kept up with who has won what, I'll take donations. DO NOT SEND ISK UNTILL AFTER I HAVE PERSONALLY SPOKEN WITH YOU. I'm thinking payout for donors shouls be 100.15% if I win, 0% for a loss.
To those that do not know me.....I play weekly live/online games. (eg. I took a bunch of donkeys tonight for around $400USD, in a $10bi cash) I also have the isk to enter, but it's more fun to play with OPI (Naughty by Nature, for those that don't get it). NO GUARANTEE ON ISK FUNDINGS (meaning, if I don't win, you'll get your isk if I do). I have no control over someone who goes all in with 72os with my aces and wins.
Rest assured I know the game of holdem'.
I'll prolly ask corp m8s first, since they already had interest. I will not take more donations than the buyin, so FCFS, after corp memebers.
PS I need to find out who funds Mr. Dj Pugg/WC in online events :)

What a coincidence! I just got taken for $70 by a donk who flopped a straight flush to my Ace-high flopped flush. Isn't poker grand? --- What doesn't manage to kill you... has made a tactical error.

If things go well for me, I may have won my Spectator's Ticket tonight.
I highly recommend anybody who is a fan of high-stakes championship poker to participate in this event. I'm new to the game and newer to the scene, but the cats are cool and the cards are fair. :) 1.1 Billion is insanely too rich for my blood, though. |

Why you fund me my dear :)
I dont need any external funding for my poker.... i started with 200mil, turned that into 2bil (which i gave away on my show a couple weeks ago) and im still goig..... up to um... 5.5bil proffit in total to date.
SO yes... I WILL be entering.
On a side note.... Not sure whether Eve Radio would do a broadcast due to the 'limited' nature of the audience....
However, that said, should they decide not to do an official broadcast of the event, then I am sure I could arrange something (using one of the test servers perhaps, or failing that using a backup server i have access to).
Who knows... I may even cover the prelims as well... tho it is hard to do, as unlike TV, the comentators have no way of knowing what the players hole cards are.

I would like to see 2 separate tournaments opened up. Your one, and another for more realistic bankrolls. Maybe a 50m or 100m buyin tournament.
What do you think Curzon, can we run 2 side-by-side ones running one on each Axiom server?

One of my plans if I had more time was run a 10 game tourney including 81 people. The winner from each of the 9 games goes to a last game for the pot. Even if you went say 50m each buy in would still be almost 4bil isk pot.
Ricdic if your interesed talk to Steel, add in a small fee, say like 54m each, the person running it takes 2m per person and then Steel gets 2m each for the server.
Anyway great idea Curz, keep it coming, I do suggest a few smaller wager ones as well though just to keep everyone playing IMO. -----------------------------------------------

Ah, General Starscream. Just the guy we were hoping to see.
Well, not really.
I don't really have the bankroll for this yet- so I'll just have to play a few games against Curzon and such.
That should fatten it considerably.
Or maybe I can bum 500m off of my corporation :p
