    I was wondering it anyone was informed of WHY the BJT was cancelled? I figured that since Bet21/UB.com had leased the UBT rights they would be allowed to host an EBJ tourney also.

    Their satellites were done well but the whole thing just vanished - POOF (kinda like the UBT commercials and Phil H)

    So what gives - Hey Pit Boss where are you?

    Actually I hadn't heard that yet. Was there an announcement, or did the online satellites just disappear?

    I admit I was pretty skeptical that UB would be able to pull it off without any apparent involvement from UBT.

    Well, the satellites were cancelled and the prior winners were credited with $5500 cash instead. A nice take for Monica who won the 12-person $109 satellite the day before the Venetian UBT event.

    No ACTUAL annoucement but:

    Removal of the BJT from the promotional page
    No response when questioning from CS
    yanking the tournaments
    no listing of ANY BJT on the arubaclassic website

    So I assummed it was cancelled. I mean airfare is REALLY cheap but I don't want to fly down there to play in a BJT and find out all they have is poker! :flame:

    Of course since they abruptly ended their monthly 25,000 event (they still advertise the May 25,000 on their website) it's been all downhill at Bet21.com!
