As I'm trying to complete the Charity Poker Challenge, I've been involved in a 13 game series that Bodog has going on. It's called the Mini Series of Poker and we were required to win our way into the final tourney of the series. You could do this three ways: 1) play every event in the series 2) win one event in the series 3) complete the series top 10 in points (I think I was 23rd or so) or 3) finish in the top 18 in a qualifying event that was held on Tuesday night. I final tabled one of these events but couldn't quite finish it out and because of my work I couldn't play in all 13 events so I had to depend on qualifying in Tuesday's game..which I did.
First place in this tournament won a fully paid seat to next years World Series Main Event and some spending money ($12,000) package. Second and third got what equates to a $2000 package and 4-9 got a ticket to Bodog's big weekly $100,000 guarantee prizepool game. At the end of hour 1 the game abruptly ended with about 50 or so people in it and we were all paid the $12,000 first place tournament credits!!!! What to do, what to do? It's obviously an error soooooo... what did I do, I e-mailed and called and let them know so they could take it out of all of the players accounts that the error paid out (prior to them losing it)...and yes, that included my account. Minutes later...12K back out of my account. I'm certain they will reschedule. What would you have done. By the way, that would have definitely completed the challenge :-).
This is one of the rare cases where I've had an issue with their software and their staff are working quickly to clear it up. Good people over there. I'll keep posted on what's going to happen w/ it. I would like a litle feedback though...what would you have done in this spot?
