b) Direct Entry for £220

What I'd like to know is, which blondes will/are playing this? Always a cracking event, run with the DTD Deepstack structure

I'll play, looks good.

good stuff

People will need a sky poker account (open one via the banners on here if need be) to a) buy in online andb) all prizes paid out into Sky Poker accounts

Will 350 be the top number of runners then? How many were there last year BTW?

I will need to bink a big cash in a MTT soon and hopefully buy in direct like I did last year as the sats are killing me slowly (BR and confidence). Thinking of changing my name to aero boy TBH.

Do you know what is planned for the Friday night schedule ? tournament wise, not alcohol intake :)

IIRC 250 last year. We've upped it this year

Friday night will be the normal DTD Schedule which is a £50 and a £15 plus a Live sat  for the SPT if any of DTD's allocation remains

I have a lot of 20p coins. what percentage of the buyin can I pay using them?

you'll have to ask the frIendly cashier at DTD

As many as you like and they're willing to accept. The question of legal tender doesn't come into it :)

As long as they're not busy bugging the back room where the live hole card commentary takes place of course :)

can I get my winnings paid into my ftp a/c in stamps?

When is direct buyin available on the site?

Now

ah right it's hard to find!! Got it ta. :)up

What's haPpened to sky poker banners tighty . Is their sponsorship here over and are poker travel the successors

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

They're still on the right hand side and are in rotation at the top of the page.

Oh ok. Another technophobic mistake again. Got my screen zoomed I think

I'm in via a satellite.

Unfortunately I have quintuple booked myself that weekend. I know it says you can't sell seats, and that's fine, and I'll play. But if you do happen to have a 351st player who is desperate to play, I'd like to get rid of mine.

I certainly plan on playing this.

Need to get it sorted though.

Tikay vs Orford vs Thew in last longer and first elimination (of the three) markets.


Tikay is favourite to last longer
 

Please note – the market closes at 2pm on Saturday.

[X] bet placed
[ ] backed Tikay

Are you mad?

Backing me in a L-L is like buying a £1 note for 7/6d

I for one don't know if buying a £1 note for 7/6d is a good thing or a bad thing  :dontask:

yup me neither

how do u buy in through dtd?

it's probably sold out now through DTD, if its not visible in the DTD shop apart from tomorrow's live sat and possibly a few seats in person at the club on saturday if they become available

that apart, alternates too

sighs

how early do we have to come to get a seat without being on alternates list?

Late entry until 7pm seems a little puzzling for a tourney that starts at 2.30pm.

FYP

Where does it say last entry 7pm?

DTD website.

Can't see that, though I can see that it says it starts at 2.30pm, whereas Sky seem to think it's starting at 2pm.

It's in "tournament results" and on the week's schedule.

I heard it's no alternates is this true?

No, that is untrue. There WILL be alternates today.

All 350 seats have gone, so far as I know, but we are being overwhelmed with requests for seats, so the Alternate List is likely to be huge.

Seats willl be available early next week, via Online Qualification @SkyPoker.com, & direct buy-in for members of the Sky Poker Priority Club, for Leg One of the 11/12 SPT, which is a 6-Max Event at DTD in October. I believe it has been capped at about 180, so I would advise sorting out your seat for that early, if you wish to play it, because it will sell-out within a few weeks.

Is it a re-entry tournament?

No


It's full, alternates for four levels

IN, GL any Blondes playing and all Bankrollsupply players playing this too

any chance of getting on the list before getting to the club?

No, first come first served at DTD

I've just woken up and am feeling really rough so wont be able to play, that's one alternative available and  one ickle bunny that'd like his buyin back prease!

On the DTD site, James Williams does a win

Fair play to him. He was down to 5k on level 2, but JJ>AK got him out of it.

James Williams won, Astel 2nd

Sian (my t'other alf) was 7th for £2397

James Williams wins the Sky Poker Tour Grand Final
 
James "LJamesL" Williams of Team Sky Poker won the Sky Poker Tour Grand Final this weekend at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, the event concluding the 2010-11 Sky Poker Tour. Williams, from Swindon, beat Birmingham's Astel Cowan to the title and over £22,000 for first place at the end of two days which saw 374 players compete for the event.
 
Williams had returned as one of fifty-seven players for Day Two as one of the very shortest stacks but after an early double-up he never looked back, beginning the final table second in chips behind Kristian Downer, who was to eventually finish third. The final table highlighted the enormous diversity of players in the event with two sponsored professionals, Williams and Jamie Burland, battling with the likes of Daniel Green ( in only his second ever live game )and two ladies Saifon Lambe ( a live satellite qualifier ) and Sian Yorke.
 
With the conclusion of the 2010-11 tour our attention now turns to the 2011-12 Sky Poker Tour, details of which has just been announced. The tour begins on 29th-30th October with a 180 runner Six-Max event at Dusk Till Dawn, the first of seven legs offering a total of £250,000 in guaranteed prize pools. Satellite qualification of the first event begins this week on www.skypoker.com, where you will find details of the whole of new tour.
