If there's 5 day ones presumably there's at least 8 days total. €2k per day sure covers the running costs of the place. Assuming I've got nothing more important on I'll be there. Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: George2Loose on February 07, 2011, 08:33:06 PM Exactly. 20% juice is cheap considering the manpower and organisation this is going to take

For example you bust day 1a, you can re-enter on another day 1 if you wish. I know this has worked in low buy-in, high guarantee tournaments in the past such as the $330, $1 mil gtd at LA Poker Classic.

Title: 1600 runner gp Post by: Ironside on February 08, 2011, 09:35:52 AM Just read an article thanks to Barry carter that dtd are planning a gp with 5 day ones, that's just sick, obviously rob will pull it off, and will get knocked for doing it, it goes with the territory of running best poker club in UK. I just want to know where everyone is going to come from, 320 runners a day is massive especially when he will need people to travel to get the numbers, people are going to have to take time off work to play there start date. It's going to be like the wall without the huge buyin, and without the 10 hour flights, good luck rob but I still think your crazy
Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: Cf on February 08, 2011, 09:51:19 AM I have to say my first instinct was why isn't this €100 like the last one. That still got the numbers. Then the guarantee would be €160,000 which is just daft and may be more attractive for travellers.
Could argue it both ways I guess. €100 makes it more attractive for people to travel. €50 makes sure pretty much every recreational player would want to play Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: GreekStein on February 08, 2011, 10:38:48 AM Lol @ anyone having a problem with 20% juice on a comp like this.

Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: kinboshi on February 08, 2011, 11:52:39 AM If anyone feels as though €10 is too much to pay for tournament that is going to run over that many days, and will be run like clockwork, they don't deserve to play it.
Surely €10 is the minimum any cardroom needs to charge to cover their costs for any tournament?

I cant see many people wanting to stop over in Notts except for the Friday day 1s, so I reckon it will come down to this sort of question. Nottingham being on the M1 and about as central as you could ask, I think there is a huge radius of people potentially for the earlier day1s, assuming people would be prepared to drive say 2.5 hours there, 2.5 hours back on average.

It was clearly a huge thing for them to be playing at DTD rather than pubs and when one guy from Ipswich went deep on the second day all his mates were railing him, hard It's a different market from the usual DTD MTTs. To answer your question I think 2-3 hour travel times would be regarded as perfectly feasible and puts a lot of the country in reach from Nottingham I would imagine the last Day 1 would sell out v quickly, as people try travelling try not to have to go there/back and there/back again in a couple of days Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: DaveShoelace on February 08, 2011, 04:23:15 PM the 1st Grand Prix, which I updated, poker clubs from places like Ipswich and Bristol sent mini bus loads, all kitted out in club clothing etc It was clearly a huge thing for them to be playing at DTD rather than pubs and when one guy from Ipswich went deep on the second day all his mates were railing him, hard It's a different market from the usual DTD MTTs.

Remaining players will return for Day 2 on Saturday, and from then all remaining players will return for the final on Sunday 22nd May. Registration for the event is now OPEN! Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: TightEnd on February 25, 2011, 05:18:23 PM Good News for our Golden Chipper Wannabes - we are DOUBLING the amount of Golden Chip Satellites for our 1600 runner Grand Prix event!
From Monday 14th March, we’ll be running satellites into the mammoth 1,600 runner guarantee Grand Prix event, to be held at Dusk Till Dawn in May. 56 days of online satellites, with TWO chances each day to qualify. We’ll have one satellite starting at 5pm, and one starting at 8pm. Both satellites will consist of the same buy-in and structure, both guaranteeing at least 2 golden chip winners each time! 5pm & 8pm: €2+€0.20 Rebuy 1,500 Chips 5 Min Levels 2 x £5000 Golden Chips GTD Each winner will receive their seat into the event, along with a £5,000 Golden Chip. If a satellite winner makes the final table on Sunday 22nd May, their chip can be cashed in for £5,000 there and then! Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: kinboshi on February 25, 2011, 05:23:17 PM These Golden Chips are a great idea for this event. The buy-in is affordable to most bankrolls, but I think a lot of people won't want to get to the final table and miss out on a £5K bonus.
Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: DTD-Nick.W on February 27, 2011, 07:32:21 AM Buy in is now open and the Golden chip sats start week Monday.
initial uptake looks good 15 for Friday with a few in the other days as well, i guess we all expected Friday to sell out first and to get 15 within the last few days is a good start. Good luck to all blondes in the GC and main event.

Well on course to break poker records yet again, Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club are not just aiming to break the current record of 1058 entrants, they’re gearing up for an incredible 1,600 entrants! Confident in the event’s popularity, the club has guaranteed the prizepool at €80,000, which equates to 1,600 registrations at €50 each. If less than 1,600 people enter, the prizepool will remain at €80K. If more than 1,600 people enter, the prizepool will increase. Either way, there’s phenomenal guaranteed value, for a modest €50 entry. Buy-in: €50 + €10 Chips: 10,000 Clock: 30 / 40 min levels Prizepool: €80,000 GTD Type: Texas Hold Em, Freezeout The tournament is being held between Monday 16th May and Sunday 22nd May. To accommodate the huge field, the first round (Day 1) will be spread across the first 5 days, starting at 7pm each night. Players can choose which Day 1 they want to play… Monday Day 1a Tuesday Day 1b Wednesday Day 1c Thursday Day 1d Friday Day 1e Remaining players from each day will then return on Saturday for Day 2, and again for those remaining, into Day 3, the final day on Sunday. The event is open to ALL PLAYERS. To register, you must have an Online Account with Dusk Till Dawn’s Online Poker Room, as buy-in can only be done through your online account. There are currently 437 direct buy-ins, and a grand total of 210 satellite winners, taking the total number of entrants to 647 runners. The Grand Prix II, which took place last January, saw 811 players battle it out for the €81,100 prizepool. Dusk Till Dawn are well on the way to doubling this number, and swamping the current UK record. Title: Latest daily figures for Grand Prix Post by: DTD-ACES on May 10, 2011, 05:47:14 PM Hi All
Day 1e Friday is nearly sold out, just 57 seats remaining. Day 1d has 333 Day 1c has 347 Day 1b has 335 Day1a has 309 Bare in mind although the guarantee is for 1600 runners we have capacity for 405 a day so already 644 seats sold, we are expecting seats to start selling a lot faster over the next 5 days so will keep this thread updated. €50 Buy in, €80,000 guaranteed, 10,000 chips, 30 min clock Day 1, 40 min clock Day 2 / Final Day.

Rich There’ll be no alternates available, so we strongly suggest players buy-in asap if they want to play. There will be no live entries allowed at the club. However, I will be available every night from 5pm to help anyone that is having difficulty. I will also have UKash vouchers which can be bought for cash. So, anyone that does arrive early enough, I can help get registered for the comp. Buy-in closes at 6pm on each day for that night’s tournament.

I WANT TO MAKE THIS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR TO AVOID ANY PLAYERS TURNING UP AND WANTING TO BUY-IN AT THE CASH DESK AND THEN BEING CHEESED OFF WITH US WHEN WE SAY "NO".

Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: robyong on May 16, 2011, 08:12:07 PM well Matt, I do feel I need to keep repeating myself because if we had allowed live buy-in to this comp like a Super 50 - I know we could have got 2500+ for this event (1000 of them turning up Friday - irregardless of how many tables we have got!) and we don't have the dealers or room for that, so I don't want one single customer turning up and being mad with us when we say they cant play, I am already expecting a problem for Friday so just need to keep hammering home the message :) Of course, if some player has had a problem registering online we can help them out but the cash desk cannot accept a single buy-in for the grand prix, this comp is auto run straight from our online lobby, as if it was a online comp.

Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: DTD-ACES on May 17, 2011, 02:14:38 AM Hi Guys
Here is my first daily report from the Grand Prix. Day 1A of the Grand Prix III has come to a close, after 10 x 30 minute levels, the 296 runner field has been reduced to 70 players who will be returning for day 2 on Saturday. The average stack is 42,285 and the current chip leader is Michael Holmes with 137,100. There were 44 online qualifiers who chose to play day 1A who each received a Golden Chip at the start of play, which would entitle them to an additional £5000 should they make the final table. Eight of which have made it through to day 2. Dusk Till Dawn already holds the record for the biggest tournament field in the UK at 1058 set at the UKIPT. The guarantee for the Grand Prix III is 1600 players, and with 4 day 1’s to go Friday is already sold out and the current number of entries is 1185, so our previous record will be smashed. The atmosphere in the club was fantastic tonight with everyone saying what an amazing experience the Grand Prix is with the opportunity to play a low buy in event with a deepstack structure and a huge prizepool. If you wish to join the action and play Tuesday to Thursday you can buy in online up until 6pm each day, there are already 183 registered for tomorrow and we expect at least 300.

At the end of level 10 just 60 remain with an average stack of 43,000, these players will return for day 2 on Saturday at 1pm. Our day 1B chip leader with 120,600 was Amandeep Atwal. There were just 25 Golden Chip holders today, only 4 of which have made it through to Day 2, meaning so far there are just 12 in with a chance of winning that extra £5,000. We need another 280 players to buy in over the next 2 days to hit the 1,600 runner guarantee, with means currently there is a €14,000 overlay. We anticipate another 250-300 runner field tomorrow, with currently 188 registered, and are hoping that Thursday will sell out at 405.

But i can also see why it could be hard. I FTd the last GP and a good majority of my chips came from just making the lives of GC holders miserable. Unfortuantely i luck boxed myself a Golden Chip into this one at the first time of trying. Will be expecting a lot of light 3 bets in my direction but i will just jam it in ya eye. I think they sould give you them quietly as you swipe in for the day, to take the edge away from it. I'm gonna break the duck. You read it here first.. That guy who ran deep in the last one said he had it on display the whole time and used it to let oppos know he must have the goods. Might give it a go..

Turbo rebuys surely aren't a way to identify people with the game to win a deepstacked 1000+ runner live tournament? I'm not knocking the satellites, nor those who have won seats through them, but is it not true that the strategies required are different?

Day 1C of the Grand Prix III The total number of runners for the Grand Prix III stands at 1,448, just 152 short of the 1600 player guarantee. Day 1D currently has 203; will we end up with the 355 required Day 1C had 287 entrants and 64 approximately 22% of the field made it through to day 2 with an average chip count of 44,800, chip leader is Jamie Forest with 103,200. So far during the first 2 days 12 Golden Chip holders have progressed to Saturday’s restart at 1pm. Tonight, there were 22 and 9 will be joining them. Should one of these Golden Chip satellite qualifiers make it to the final 8 on Sunday they will earn an additional £5,000. Cheers ACES Title: Re: DTD's 3rd Grand Prix: Get a load of this Post by: DTD-ACES on May 20, 2011, 01:41:30 AM Hi All
Day 1D of the Grand Prix III 1527 now entered which means we did not hit the 355 required for the 1600 runners so have added an extra 80 seats to Day 1E, it is in the lobby under DUSK GP EXTRA 1E. Day 1D had 282 entrants and 70 of them, or 24.8% of the field made it through to day 2, the highest percentage so far with an average chip count of 40.285, chip leader is John Grice with 115,800. There were 28 Golden Chips and 8 made it through making a total of 34. Should one of these Golden Chip satellite qualifiers make it to the final 8 on Sunday they will earn an additional £5,000.
