Is this Sunday the last of the PCA Sats?

[Jonathan]

I heard a rumor that the Paradise Island hotel is all
filled up and that this Sunday will be the last Stars satellite to
win a full package.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
jonathan

How long will that go?

Where do you stay?

What will happen with Steps (after sunday)?

[betgo]

Stars presumably has run out of the rooms they bought. you can get rooms on your own at Atlantis, but it will probably cost significantly more. There are plenty of other places to stay around there that are probably cheaper.

It looks like this event will have a much larger field than before. It may be that people are winning seats here because you can't really win a WSOP seat online anymore.

E-mailed Stars about this last night, asking what would happen to the Steps tickets that are in limbo when they end. Here's the response I received:

Hello Matt,

Thank you for your email.

Please rest assured that no one will lose value they have earned in a
PokerStars tournament; that's simply not how we do business.

Having said that, we haven't decided (yet) what to do about leftover
PCA Steps tickets once qualifying is over. I can tell you two things:

1. It's very unlikely that we'll simply convert the tickets to cash.
2. It's quite likely that we'll roll the tickets over into Steps
tickets for one of our other satellite series (EPT Season 4, APPT
Season 2, etc.).

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.


Regards,

Lari


Personally, I'm not satisfied with my tickets being converted over to another tournament, and I e-mailed them back saying so. I didn't sign up to play an APPT event, I signed up for the PCA. Also, Stars wouldn't let anyone convert PCA tickets to APPT or vice versa in the last month or more, so I don't think it's fair to force all to now. I realize they haven't made a final decision yet, so I won't jump all over them until they do, but it seems as if they're leaning that way.
