The prize breakdown is as follows:

The duration of all levels is 30 Minutes.  Rebuys are allowed for the first three levels (90 minutes).  An optional Add-On may be taken at the end of the 90 minutes.


Good luck to anyone playing in the event and don't forget the added value of the complimentary meal that is available to all players and is served from 6pm onward, Ive eaten there before and it is superb. Other added value will be the godfather of poker himself who will be hosting the night in his Martin Bell suit ;o)

Thanks

Any idea of numbers that have signed up so far, or do most sign up on the night?

I'm told 40 out of 80 so far....and they have the usual Monday night tourney tonight so I expect little availablity by tomorrow.

I'm in,.. and looking forward to a long night if Newcastle is anything to go by!

hi mate, there were 21 registered on Saturday and the max field is set at 80. Last Tuesday the field doubled from 35 to 70 in the last 90 mins so I expect many will buy in on the night.

come and say hello guys, it will be good to meet up.

i may come down and play ;)   in london then anyways :)

If I see someone that looks like Spiderman I will say hi.  :D

lol, im much bigger in real life, It appears that over 40 seats have now been sold so if you are going to play it would make sense to get there sonner rather than later.

55 seats sold at 10pm tonight

See you there!

Yup, see you there, 425 too, and, if I can work the oracle, another Mini-Update, similar to Newcastle last week. But I can't promise that as the Cardroom there has a well-dodgy Vodafone Card reception.

How much once a week have you got to start on MY whistle?

just so long as the dreaded ruby smoking jacket doesn't get an airing  ::)

Sorry but I won't be down tonight after all. Had a rubbish nights sleep and well and truly knackered, I would struggle to stay awake till ten let alone 1 in the morning and then get up at 6 to go to work. Lame excuse but will make sure I make the next one and book time off the day after.
good luck to everyone taking part.

just to let you know that this evenings event is now SOLD OUT

Good job I didn't go then as I would have been arriving around now. :D
