Could we possibly refocus on the issues at hand? They said they posted here to address to document changes but didn't, and haven't addressed any of the other questions. Since the tournament was posted as 2500+100, that should have been binding. The fact that it might have been partially posted in places the players didn't have access to is irrevant.

I think the issue has been beaten into the ground. We all are saying essentially the same thing.

Wait are you proving the point? Both CEOs were fired last year.

So.... I say we turn this over to BBV, OOT, every poker blog in the universe, all of our friends, and let the whole world know about this shtttttttttttt that essentially adds up to false advertising/theft.

Time to go to work.

Not serious here, just making fun of the ridiculous turn this thread took.

Let's just wait until we get a response from the CEO Poker people or the Venetian.

Mr. Friedman,

I am the President of CEO POKER TOUR, and I can assure you that as required by the Gaming Commission, we do not take a percentage of the buy-in, we are provided a flat fee for holding the event at the Venetian, just like a WPT, or other tournament.

The charity was approved by the Gaming Commission to receive a percentage of the buy-in, and a percentage of the buy-in went to Venetian.

I want to make sure that rumors do not start on the Internet that are not true about CEO POKER TOUR or the Venetian.

The CEO POKER TOUR co. abides by all gaming rules and regulations. We pride ourselves on holding successfull events and try to give back to the players as much as possible.

The charity component raised badly needed funds for the children of Nevada and will help a VERY special group that is not always remembered or considered by many.

I hope that this response addresses your concerns and if you have any additional comments that you would like to send on directly to me please feel free to email [email protected].

Have a great night.

Maria Gomez
President
CEO POKER TOUR

Looks like Tony Soprano's relatives have the best when it comes to attorneys.
EXCLAM on hiding it all in fine print!
And keeping it quiet!! You must have put the fear of HELL into your employees to be able to keep that one quiet.

I guess we either not frequent the place, or bring along a magnifying glass. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Another example of the big fish eating the little ones.
Well done boyz! You've come a long way from Waste Mgt down in FL.

The part about the flat fee is the 6% taken by the CEO Poker Tour. There it is in black and white.
