Re: If you made the final table of the main event
I thought I had read that Andrew Black was less than thrilled with the treatment the Party folks were giving him. He won his seat through them but I thought he wore Full Tilt stuff at the final table.
Anyone have a link or know whether I am remembering this accurately or not?

[/ QUOTE ] Indeed, you are correct sir. Supposedly the story goes that he was treated like crap until they got down to the last few hundred or so and then they started sucking up to him. He completely blew them off. Kanter was paid 2.5 million for the shirt at the final table.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Aaron Kanter became Party sponsored for the FT and I swear their was a post a few monthes back about how he was paid like 2.5M to wear it. I am going to try to find that post now. [/ QUOTE ] No way, I'd like to see that post... Why the hell do you think you would get 2.5 million dollars to wear a shirt on TV. lol [/ QUOTE ] because they make that in a day and if he wins the main event they'd love to say they have a world champion [/ QUOTE ] How about a promise of a contract for a couple million if he wins, but he has to wear the shirt to start, not 2.5 million just to wear the shirt.

Re: If you made the final table of the main event

[ QUOTE ] The rule last year (at least for the preliminary events before the Main Event) was that you could not negotiate an endorsement for a televised final table once the final table was decided. In other words, if you didn't have a pre-existing agreement with an online sponsor before the final table was decided, you had to wait until after the event to sign a deal. I don't know how strictly it's enforced, but the online sites seemed to respect the rule, and I didn't see any players come to a final table sponsored who weren't previously sponsored. -Aces [/ QUOTE ] I kind of doubt that. I don't see how they could enforce that unless you have to sign something before the tournament starts. Even then, what could they possibly do other than make you not wear a FullTilt shirt (they prob couldn't even do that). [/ QUOTE ] Hmmmm...okay...then let me re-phrase my response... I made a final table last year. Just before the they let us go on break before the final table, the tournament director said that we were not allowed to negotiate any new deals with the online sponsors for that final table appearance. I didn't see any players come to a final table sponsored who weren't previously sponsored. -Aces
