so i register for the titan freeroll for wsop ticket where down to 289 players and i'm 3rd largest stack and poof...it stops and a message pops up this tournement has been canceled.

you that sux...

not only do i live in australia and i have to get up at 4am to play the damm thing but i build and build and i have a good shot at the ticket then poof its gone.

I think poker news should put two tickets up for grabs in the next one.

50 minutes into it and it was still anyones game, but is not pokernews fault. Titan had an issue and it sucks to have it happen when it 4.50 am and I can't get back to sleep :/

I emailed support about it and they have eventually replied to me:

we would like to inform you that it has been determined that you were in fact disconnected from the tournament as a result of temporary connection problems with the card room. Rest assured our technical department and poker experts are dealing with it right now and if indeed a refund is necessary to your account, please check it after a maximum of 4 to 6 hours. However, if after 6 hours you were not able to get a refund you are most welcome to send us an email with the details for us to further investigate and perform the necessary adjustments.

So the way it is worded seems like they are saying the connection troubles were my fault (I am in UK) which is obviously not the case. I noticed quited a few scheduled tourneys had also been cancelled/interrupted.

This tourney needs to be rerun surely!! If not then it seems a waste of time actually signing up in order to enter.

That is terrible I would be so mad at Titan

I believe they have made it up to the players
