Chris Bruce English Poker Open - DTD - $1 Million Gtd prize pool

I am selling 60% of myself in the EPO at DTD on the 15 - 17 Sept

The direct buy in for this tournament is $5300 - approx £3200

The main event sponsor has been running several free rolls to this event and is allowing the winners of these free rolls to sell there seats to interested parties.
I am therefore expecting to purchase a seat to this event at a discount to the full asking price.
I do not know what price I will finally pay for a seat but I estimate I will be able to purchase a seat for between £2100 - £2500.

I am selling in lots of 2.5% at a price of £70 -  (100% = £2800)

I expect this event to sell out to capacity of 270 making a total prize pool of $1,350,000

I have a good record in live DEEPSTACK poker tournaments;

In 2007 I cashed three times in the GUKPT £1,000 entry including a final table in Manchester. I also played in the Barcelona EPT and the WSOPE £10,000 main event in London (GG Jamie Gold!)

In 2008 I won the DTD  £750 NLHE mini festival £20,738
I won the £300 deep stack for £12,500 (although this has been omitted from my Hendon Mob stats)
I also played the Barcelona EPT and made day 2 of the London EPT finishing just outside the money.

If I am to be successful in purchasing a discounted seat I will need to be fully sold by the 23 August  - If I have not sold 60% I will not play -

I do not know what price I will pay for a seat but the staking price will remain at £70 for 2.5%

 ;mexicanwave; ;mexicanwave; ;thankyou; ;thankyou;

Win it all.

Not a great start dropped down to 5700 after 3 levels.
Not seen better than 44 pre flop. And lost a chunk to Stuart fox
in the only significant pot I've played. Hopefully I can turn it round after
the dinner break.

No rush mate. Slow structure should help out.

How's the atmosphere there? You enjoying it despite the bad card run?

I like the old rope-a-dope tactic, it's worked for me a few times.

Gone out in Level 5
Managed to maintain my stack at around the 6K level when the following hand comes up.
With a raise to 500 and a RR to 1500 I look down in the Big blind to see 2 black Aces......
After the customary 2 mins of Hollywood I shove all in.
The original raiser folds and Mr Frenchman snap calls with QQ
Queen on the turn andits gg wp Froggy.

FFS very pissed off, I had a pretty tough table with Marc Goodwin and Stuart Fox on my left and Rupinder and Des Jonas on my right, that said I did not see any soft tables.
Was pretty card dead bar a couple of AKs and no pair bigger than 44 until my exit hand.
win that pot and I have a playable stack again.
Thanks to you guys for putting me in this tourny and I am sorry I did not run better for you.

Cheers Chris

Unlucky Chris.

I blame myself tbh. I had small %'s in you and Stu Rutter - you lose AA vs QQ all in pre and he loses KK vs 99 all in pre. My money sure encourages run good.

Could be your fault though - maybe the 2 minute hollywood messed with the RNG.

Unlucky Chris- was pretty horrible. Couldn't believe the F bombs tho! Well played!

ul mate, standard exit.

Yes sorry about that......

Just cant get a hand to stand up at the moment.

Lost AA v KQ in the DTD £1000 mini festival (120k pot when average was 60k)

And QQ v K3 in last months £300

No need to apologise bud- tis pretty hard when you're running tez....

UL mate. Tournaments are tez.
