Default I won 2 Packages - Tournaments are at the same time

Hi,

I won a EPT Copenhagen Package ($8500) on Saturday on PokerStars and without knowing any dates I played an Aussie Million Satellite on BetfairPoker on Sunday on won it also ($15.000).

The EPT Copenhagen takes place on 17th-20th January and the Aussie Million is 9th-20th January.

Obviously I want to play in the Aussie Millions so I wrote an Email to PokerStars if I can change the Copenhagen Packager to a EPT Deauville Package.

I already played the EPT Barcelona & EPT Baden and was wearing PS Merchandise in both Events.

Well, I recieved the following answer:

Hello Sebastian,

Thanks for your email.

I am afraid to inform you that the seat that you won to the EPT Copenhagen
event cannot be transferred or refunded. You must play the first seat you
win.

I apologize for not being able to accommodate your request. Please let us
know any time we may be of further assistance.

Regards,

Juan
PokerStars Support Team

Is there really nothing I can do? I don't want to flush 8500 (or 15k) down the toilet...

Can Lee Jones help me?

That sucks, but I'd just keep bugging pokerstars about it. I suspect they will make some kind of concession. You can try Betfair as well, but I'd think pokerstars would be more willing to roll over.

Aussie championship event has Day 1's on Jan 14 and 15.
Day 2 on Jan 16
Day 3 on Jan 17
Day 4 and final on Jan 18 and 19


Copenhagen day 1 is Jan 17. finishes on Jan 20.


So just don't last past day 2 in Australia, get to Copenhagen as fast as you can, and then win the whole thing over there.

If you haven't sent the mail yet, send it to ept@pokerstars.com instead please. If you've already mailed Lee, I'd rather we just had one person looking at the case though.

I thought about that too but I am just too lucky (or in this case: unlucky) to bust that early !

He won an Aussie millions seat, clearly he was right to do so! Or wait... Is that that results-oriented analysis people keep telling me not to do?
