He finished 4th in his group on the BPT yesterday. Assuming he is bolting and heading to the classic. They have to be present for the official meeting and practice day tomorrow I believe?

interesting question. Why did he even fish the first two days at Douglas?

I dont think he thought this through
Why would I fish for $100K when I could fish for $300K?
If he doesn't fish tomorrow he will be fined a significant amount of money. At least that is what they were going to do to Birge last year.
That being said this is a new year, and they pick and choose, change their minds, change the rules so often who the hell knows what they will do to him. He's bolting for the Classic so they might ban him for life and remove every essence of his existence past, present, and future from the MLF/BPT.
He's guaranteed $10K for making the knockout round.
I get the same impression. When he first went on BTL and said he would fish both, Matt pointed out the MANY conflicts and Poche acted like he had just heard about them for the first time. And since he missed an Elite event, he probably won’t qualify for the classic and if he leaves a BPT event when he should still be fishing, he’ll supposedly get fined or worse. I just don’t see if working out financially unless his sponsors are ponying up the money and hoping the added coverage and “drama” around the thing will increase their brands.
That’s what I thought. Take the 10 grand and move on.
I guess depending on what time the official meeting is tomorrow he could just drive over to it after he's done fishing.
Not if they are going to fine him $25,000 and suspend him from the next event for leaving early

the "experts" of BBC are baffled. A question no one can answer. Hell just froze over.
I got a good laugh out of that BTL appearance. He kind of defiantly said, "I'm fishing both" and when Matt pointed out the obvious conflicts he seemed sort of blindsided

Should have stuck with the Elites after qualifying through the dang Opens. Hope it all works out for him. Really like Poche.
I wondered why it suddenly got a whole lot colder.
No practice for the Classic. I would pick the classic every time. I don’t believe he gets paid for not finishing the BPT event.
plus he doesn’t have any practice time.
This is the most likely scenario, bunch of assclowns run that mess.
Is that what rules are, or is there no rule?? I honestly don’t know as much as they change shit. LolNot if they are going to fine him $25,000 and suspend him from the next event for leaving early
So how did he qualify for the classic?
