Many of us bemoaned the apparent loss of our "Fessie Weeks" subsequent to the GUKPT & GBPT Series.

Well, as you know, Lord Raab has worked very hard to restore the balance between "Series" & regular Fessies.

Next week sees the Walsall Leg of the GUKPT, but it's also a decent Fessie in it's own right.

Monday sees a £200, 2 day, Freezeout. 8pm start on Day One.

Tuesday it's a £300, 2 day, Double Chance. 8pm start on Day One.

Wednesday they have an Omaha comp - at last! - and it's a £250 Pot Limit Freezeout, one dayer. 8pm Start.

Thursday sees the start of the Main Event, a 4 day affair, at  2pm.

Then, the SAME EVENING, for early GUKPT departees, & those not playing Day 1a, is a 1 day, £100 Freezeout. 8pm.

Friday sees the same thing - another £100, one dayer.

On Saturday, they have a lovely £300, two dayer, starting at 6pm.

Finally, on Sunday, there is a £200 One-Dayer, starting at 4pm.

Structures, starting chips, clock?

Lord Raab posted these over a month ago, on a thread which, strangely, not much interest was shown. It's here....

I hope to play Monday (if a Meet in London at lunchtime finishes soon enough), Tuesday, & Wednesday, but I have committmnts elsewhere for the rest of the week, sadly. Anyone else up for this Walsall Fessie?

A big up to Raaby for organising this year's Grosvenor Fessie schedule to take into account those of us who missed the regular Fessies, & at the same time, keeping the high-profile & much popular GUKPT Series.

Just got E Mail from Jon:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the start time of the main event of leg 2 of the 2008 GUKPT in Walsall has been changed from 2pm to 3pm. This applies to both starting days and to day 2 on Saturday. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. As a result, the online qualifiers reception will now take place at 2pm.

Was that just a chirp Dewi?  ;D

Not at all Chilli,(way past that stage) just thought it might be useful to those thinking of buying in on the day 8)

Doesn't Walsall have a track record of having to put back the start times of tournaments because they open up later than the other Grosvenors, or something?

I certainly remember about 15 of us sat outside for ages on day 2 of the APAT event and I seem to remember it happening for something else as well.

Blonde bash?

That's weird dewi, i got the same e-mail from jonathon today, about 3pm start and 2pm for the online qualifiers drinks etc.

AND YES MARIA THIS IS A CHIRP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first GUKPT and i'm counting the sleeps like i do at christmas waiting for santa. How sad...................

LOL Well done Vinny - Great news, you'll love it.  See you there although I'll be in the less envious seat of the updaters!

Planning to play the first event (200 freezout) See how I feel after that whether to play the 300 two dayer or a couple of the 100s

hi dunc, currently on the table with u on bsq!!!

NOT on Day 1a you won't, young Lady......

Hoping to make a couple of days of this one.

Will also have a bash at the main event qualifier on BlSq on Sunday

I will be there on monday. I can't make Tuesday since if I make the final table I wont be able to make it- kind of pointless lol! (I will be dressed up as Captain Hook in Cheltenham instead :D)

I will play Friday onwards though.

Will see many of you there. Gonna play the omaha if I can get away from the office early enough and then the ME.

Does anyone know if it is possible to reserve a seat or buy over the phone with a debit card?

TIA

Anyone know the structure/starting chips for tonight?
