Bonjour à tous,
Ci-dessous un message provenant de la room elle-même. Sans traduire le texte dans son intégralité, je vous en communique les principaux éléments.
Grosso modo, un problème technique a empêché la room de distribuer des tickets d'entrée à tous les participants si bien que quelques 200 joueurs sont restés sur le carreau - comme certains l'ont indiqué dans ce thread.
En guise de compensation, EuroPoker va organiser dans quelque temps un nouveau tournoi freeroll dont les détails seront communiqués prochainement.
Nous relayons donc les excuses de la room via ce post, et vous souhaitons bonne chance sur les tables du prochain freeroll.
Le communiqué de la room dans son intégralité:
Statement from EuroPoker on the $20,000 PS Freeroll
Dear PokerStrategy members,
The team behind EuroPoker was very happy to see 800 players participate in the exciting and inspiring $20,000 freeroll on Sunday 11th April. The tournament was finished at 02:29 on Monday morning, hopefully to the satisfaction of all participants and in particular to the players who finished in the money.
We wish to extend our congratulations to the skillful winner 'benji' who went to bed with an additional $4,820 in his EuroPoker account, very well played indeed! Runner up 'pqshq' walked home with $2,800 and 'cli15' in third place with $1,760, not bad for a few hours at the tables.
As always when dealing with systems and networks things may go wrong. Our support team has been in touch with 75 players who could not play the freeroll because they did not receive a ticket. After some investigation the problem has been identified. It turns out that a network error froze a script, which was used to "fund" the freeroll ticket to the accounts of players who had previously done a deposit on EuroPoker. The result was that 200 accounts were left without a ticket.
To make up for the lack of action EuroPoker and PokerStrategy will run a new freeroll tournament to compensate those who could not play. More details on this will be communicated shortly. Until then, best of luck at the tables.
Sincerely,
Thor Sun
Director, EuroPoker
