Just got this email.

------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Rob,



We regret to inform you that CnR will be unable, at this time, to make a lump sum payment for the 10 WSOP seats that were won this year through the “CheckPoints to Millions” and “Freeway to Vegas” promotions on ChecknRaisePoker. However, we plan to make this up to you over the coming months. We will deposit into your player account 5% or more, as cash flow permits, of the value of your entry in monthly installments starting July 31st , 2006 until 110% of the cash equivalent is paid in full.



Unfortunately our cash flow did not allow us to set aside sufficient funds from the time that you won your seat in March. If you plan to attend the WSOP in any event, we wish you the best of luck and we are sure you will have a great time.



Please accept our sincere apologies for having to break this news to you just weeks prior to the event we promised you. Please do not hesitate to contact us by return email, if you have any questions or comments. If you would like to speak to us by phone, please suggest a convenient time and provide a phone number and we would be happy to call you and provide more details and answer any questions that you may have.



Best Regards,

Erez and the ChecknRaise Team

I guess I can cancel the hotel reservations and get some sort of credit for the plane tickets I already purchased. And 11k will make my whole full time dad/going pro experiment a little easier. I know I probably would have just blown the ticket my first day like the vast majority of the field. But damn if this doesn't feel like getting my guts ripped out after making all the plans, dreaming big, and all the rest.

BigPoppa, and Shelly? (sorry dude, still don't recall your name), this fucking blows. I didn't really expect to win or even make it ITM but honestly, given the choice of the ticket or the cash I would have taken the 1 in 8000 chance at poker immortality.

[edited so that I spelled renege right, it was bugging me]I am the paw that strikes from the darkness!!!
