The changes we made last year allowing the cream of the worlds poker players to buy-in, was well received and we think the addition of four seats and the opportunity to get in on the action while the event is full flow is another interesting facet to the tournament that will be welcomed by our players. Ultimately, we want to ensure that the format remains fresh and exciting to all."
