Title: Plymouth GUKPT
Post by: tikay on August 14, 2007, 01:40:22 PM
I'm curious (for business reasons really) as to how many runners this will get.

It's way off the beaten (poker) track, & a bloody long way for most of us, set against that, the GUKPT is a stunning success, & a big "draw" for players.

So what's your estimate of "how many"?

I assume Blue Square automatically generate a number of seats via Online Qualifuiers? - 10, 30, 100?

Lastly, who is playing, that you are aware of.

I only know of Thewy so far, but I'm sure we could add quite a few to the list.

Thinking caps on, & add any names to this thread please.

As I am from Plymouth I am bound to say that I am sure it will sell out. It is no further from London than Manchester and takes just as long to get here. I am sure it will be a huge success. The Golden Sands in Torquay looks like it will sell out and that is with Leeds competing with it. There are a lot of on line players in the south west and we have a thriving series of cash games. As for the well known names then I admit I dont know but I see no reason why players would not want to come as they travel much further for other events.....and yes we have an airport :)  If anyone needs any hotel advice etcthen I will try and help

To answer a few questions firstly Blsq will put around 50 in through sats and I think we willl have around 210 runners.

The final line up of events has not been 100% agreed on yet but i will let you know as soon as possible, maybe a £250 plo.. but please don't quote me on it.
