Just twelve months ago, the long awaited Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club in Nottingham finally opened its doors after years of battling the likes of Gala and Grosvenor in the courts. One year on, and it is clear as crystal that DTD are here to stay.
And to celebrate their first year in business, Dusk Till Dawn will this week be holding their inaugural Anniversary Cup. Commencing tomorrow, Thursday 4th December, the Anniversary Cup will be showcasing a number of events including the £1,000 main event which will echo the structure of the World Series of Poker in the form of a meaty 20,000 stack and generous two hour blind levels.
Recently added in the last few weeks is a magnificent guarantee. The Anniversary Cup may be battling with the likes of the GUKPT Champion of Champions event in Luton and the GCBPT Grand Final in Bristol, but that hasn't stopped them slapping on a whopping £100,000 guarantee to ensure that a decent field is attracted to the East Midlands.
Simon Trumper, cardroom manager at Dusk Till Dawn, said: "To celebrate our first year we have decided to guarantee our £1000 Anniversary Cup at £100,000. We expect demand to be high and you are now able to buy in at the club and online via DTD. Using the WSOP main event structure of 20,000 chips and two hour clock will make this a true test of skill."
