Partouche Poker Tour Reneges on €5m GTD

[Donkathon]

Nice tread already going on over in 2+2 but think this deserves a place over here

Also according to some post the guys behind this are also very involved in the ISPT €20m GTD tournament so yet more doubt cast over the guarantee

Forgot to add that there is still a prize-pool of €4.3m but they refuse to cover the overlay of €700,000 saying it was never a guarantee and only mirely an estimated prize-pool but it had been shown that web pages have been altered to remove any mention of "guarantee" but it has been shown on historic pages it was always a guaranteed €5m tournament contrary to the shit they be pushin

IMO it's the only way it's heading with them removing the words "guarantee" already from their site what other possible reason would this be done for

fwiw theirishtour.com honered their guarantee last weekend in an unnamed casino in Cork

Personally think that unnamed casino is the nicest cardroom in the country.

I would not be celebrating keeping ones word especially in the poker business.

200k overlay in the Irish Open from 2008 honoured by PPP now that's commitment, fair dues to all those promoters that honour their guarantees.

It looks like this is the last year of the event so they don't care.
They are saying that the reason is the players reaction to removal of the guarantee.
Seems like it was premeditated to me.

I realise it's in French but if you use Chrome it will auto-translate for you.

"recognizing "the awkward nature of the media coverage of this event," Patrick Partouche has announced that the group would complement the prize pool up to 5 million in spite of the regulations prohibiting it. He also announced that he refused the resignation of Jean-Jacques Ichai, saying that "those who have the right to undertake the error."
However, he said he would not reconsider its decision to end the adventure Partouche Poker Tour season and this will indeed be the last."

I see the Frenchman waved the white flag on this. Prizepool guaranteed for 5m again
