so many people complaining about the buyin increase on simons fb about this event, don't know why, its great value and great stucture! can't wait.

Golden Chip secured #1  :)

Horrible beat #134 secured and in the bag.

Only 134?

Great if you can afford it.  To be honest, with the manic re-buy aspect thrown into the mix, it's now out of reach for some of us.

In one day obv

the re-entry seems pretty poor strategy to me with there being so many opportunities to enter again with a level stack.
unless it's in the first couple of levels or when there's an overlay.

Only 134?

back to the important stuff

2 looks like Mandy (Sarah Dunn) from Hollyoaks back in the day!

Sat won, so Now have golden chip.
Having never qualified this way before what happens now ?

I.e how do I sign up for a day1 ?

DTD will email you next day asking when u want to play

collect your golden chip on the day

Yep that's correct :)

Cheers

Ive seen it all now.....

4 way all in i have  8h  8c vs  Qd  Jc vs  Jh  Ac vs  Jd  7d

Flop  9d 9c 9h

Turn  Js obv

50p doesn't seem enough for this

fold pre

How many golden chips left?

There are 809 Golden Chips left :)

Is the guarantee guaranteed??

No  cash Golden Chip Satellite online @ 1pm today?

Have you changed the format of the online sat's?

Normally 40 minutes for registrations 3pm one only had 30 minutes of them?

Still allowing rebuys though?

Hey

The 1pm satellite has been cancelled so they are running from 3pm from now on :)

The late registration cuts off in the number of players is not 6 more than the guarantee, so for example if there is one seat GTD like in this case, we need 7 players for late reg to a) open & b) remain open. if there are 8 players and 2 get knocked out with the late reg period it will cut off as that means there are only 6 registered! It's a bit complicated and is frustrating when this happens but it's a standard network setting and unfortunately there is no way for us to change this at the moment.

Cheers Nicola

This seems counter-intuitive. So a 1seat gtd satellit starting with 4 runners has no chance of getting extra runners to mitigate the overlay?

Unfortunately it's a network set up rule and there isn't a way we can change it. I agree it doesn't make sense but there isn't anything DTD can do to change it.

1500 Satellite was cancelled with at least 8 runners registered - I know that means an overlay, but they've run with less

There is a minimum of 8 runners, if there had been 8 or more it shouldn't have cancelled.

Buy FullTilt software? 50Mil.

Sell Dtd to Pokerstars for £50 mil. And save on the headaches and stress each day. :)

Hi Guys

New Grand Prix online satellites running NOW! We have 2 new levels of buy in for our Grand Prix Satellites.

€6 Satellite: 1 in 20 win a GP seat and Golden Chip

Running alternatively every hour, each guaranteeing seats into the €200,000 Live Final in July. Any questions give me a shout :)

Took me a while to work out why there were two freerolls at 1pm today, but I got there.

Do the new 1 in 10 satellites have a Golden Chip attached?

Edit - answered as I typed the question  ;topman;

Hi Guys

DTD are taking direct buy-ins at the Club cash desk as well as online for this Grand Prix, previous Grand Prix's have been online only - Friday will sell out quickly so please get your seat

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/dusk-till-dawn-strive-for-another-uk-record-breaking-field-in-the-july-grand-prix/2247

Satellites have been changed a lot for this and the daytime traffic has all but disappeared. No 1pm freeroll, and the 1 in 10 at 2pm doesn't get the numbers to run. SnGs with a winner takes all seem to have taken over and to me that's a less attractive proposition than sn MTT satellite with 40 entries and 4 seats available.

That having been said, no doubt someone will pop up and say they prefer the new way, and the traffic for these new formats will be huge 'cos what do I know?

It will pick up once the deepstack sats and CPP sats run again I'm sure.

Dtd need to think about what is happening for the August deepstack as I think the competition may have stolen a march on em already. I saw Rob was disappointed with the people that played Edinburgh that usually attend Dtd. I've noticed half a dozen people who never miss a deepstack with seats for Stoke already.

The August £500k GTD Deepstack is last week of August, Genting Stoke is first week in August? No clash there.

First weekend in August I am pretty sure DTD will go with Incredible 100s and Super 50s/onde day events given the GPS event is so close to them? 

Tighty the £500k gtd is the inclusive of Saturday the 1st of September when we would traditionally have a deepstack and call it Septembers deepstack . We never had a deepstack which we said was  at any end of the month despite some startinng on friday 30th or 31st. So just for clarity the £500k is the  weekend were traditionally Septembers deepstack would be and not the last one of August.

Thanks for letting us know that there is no deepstack the first weekend of August tho. Now I can understand why so many Dtd regs are trying to get into stoke

lol Jason, I don't know! Was just giving my opinion that it would be crazy to put a deepstack on against GPS Stoke with usual guarantees attached.

Whats the date of this?

It's Saturday 21st - Sunday 29th July....we have added an extra day 1 :)

Two questions

1. Will prize money be paid by cheque/cash this time since some entrants won't have an online account.?

2. The website says E6 & E12 satellites available 24/7 - where do we find them? ( I've tried Satellites on the Sit & Go tab)

Hi Guys

All Grand Prix satellites are NOW FREEZEOUTS, there is no option to re-enter...once you are out you're out!

Satellites are running every 2 hours from 2pm for €12

Sit & Go's are running on demand for €6 (20 handed) or €12 (10 handed)

Here is the new satellite tree :)

Hi David

Yes prize money will be paid out at the cash desk either cash or cheque depending on the win amount.

The €6 & €12 which run on demand are in the Sit & Go tab under satellites. There are also regular satellites which run every 2 hours from 2pm :)

They definitely weren't there when I posted the question. Have they started since then?

They've been there for a few days :) Did you have your filters on?

might have done  ;marks; ;noflopshomer;

It's me age you know

Grand Prix day 1’s are now:-
 
All 5pm start (1a and 1b have changed from 3pm)

I'm obviously already committed to this, and have always been fiercely supportive of DTD, but 15 x 30min levels plus breaks plus a drive home to Teesside on a Sunday wouldn't be very attractive if I weren't.
I see the need for the Mon-Friday Day 1s to be 5pm, and there's probably an argument for making them later, but Saturday and Sunday are days for those who travel from further afield and a 5pm start just messes the whole day up and then makes a bigger mess of the day after.
I'm by no means out of the ordinary for a travelling player and my journey of 129 miles  is probably in the middle of the curve. It takes around 2hrs 30mins to get there with traffic and I've made it home in 2hrs on an empty motorway. A 5pm Sunday start means I need to leave at 2pm too early to stay at home for Sunday Lunch or indeed anything else of value, and will get home after 3am.

I suspect this is just one more change that suits the locals, and as such I have to say that it's a touch short-sighted. The travelling players are the ones who build the field in these events.

Completely agrees with this!

1 hour away myself and agree.

Hi Guys

Is it possible to win multiple seats and use them to re enter or sell them on if not needed?

Also wondering the same thing with regard to deepstack seats...

I think this is possible.

I am sure there was a guy who had numerous golden chips and kept using them, etc.

I am sure Nicola will clear it all up though!

At the moment multiple GP seats can be won and used for Re- entry

we are looking at a new policy for multiple seats in other comps and will let you know once we decide.

cheers

Hi Guys

Cheers Nicola

Hi David

We hold the winners back from entering them in case they decide to change their start date, so they will be entered on the day I would imagine. They will go straight into the club tourney system rather than online.

Cheers Nicola

Thanks Nicola

In for Sunday

Playing Wednesday and Thursday (if necessary!).

 Won 6 Golden Chip sats  [ ] thin I know

Lots of guys have multiple chips. Would be interesting to know how many of the 600 won so far are unique players. I would set the line at 250. This could be an exceptional value comp

My mates playing same days as me and won 4...I played them regularly up to going to Vegas and there were loads of multiple winners.. Not played since coming back unfortunately


You in yet?

Last night was the first night I had a comp for two months. Played 2 without success but hope to get a couple this week.

Am playing Saturday (1A) first..........

Have 6 Golden chips in the bag, so I may be there on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday too lol!!

Playing Day 1a and going for my fourth straight GP cash.
went 4 bullets / 2 bullets / 1 bullet previously.
playing at as a freezeout this time and looking for Day 3 minimum :)

I tell you what that's quite impressive.  Got a couple of bullets this time

See ya Saturday Adam
Minus the Gold Chip  :'(

Re playing this Saturday. Is it envisaged it will sell out?

The €200,000 guaranteed Grand Prix starts this Saturday at 5pm with 7 Day 1's and a buy in of €120 via your online account or £100 over the counter at the club, all online qualifiers have won Golden Chips and if they make the final 8 they win an additional £6000 CPP package, 4 won at the last Grand Prix.

DTD need 2000 entries to hit the guarantee, next Friday will be a sell out so start playing early and secure your seat in next weekends final.

All Blonde final table??

Hi Guys

**ADDED TOURNAMENT**

Every night to accompany Day 1 of the Grand Prix we have added a £25 Freezeout at 8pm, with 10,000 chips and 20 min clock!

So that's Sat 21st - Friday 27th July at 8pm every night!

Don't forget you can now buy in for the Grand Prix over the cash desk...and if we sell out we will be taking alternates each day so worth coming down :)

Good Luck to everyone playing :)

Cheers Nicola

Will the golden chip sats end once the comp starts tomorrow or will you still be able to win more next week until they run out

They run nightly til Fri 26th

Ok cheers tighty

Playing Friday, see you there :-*

According to Simon's fb page the Golden Chip satellites are running till Friday 26th..

Hi Guys

The Golden Chip satellites are running the whole way through the event :)

Won't stop until Friday 26th July!!

Cheers Nicola

You sure?? I got 1667 if you paid in Euro's and 1570 if you paid in pounds? :/

Gl rick117 today.

Good luck everyone playing 1a of the Grand Prix today

Please let us know how you get on

I am playing day 1 a... GL Me#

I'm playing today.  Can anyone confirm whether it's 15 levels and how long/often the breaks will be please?

GL all

Yes, 15 levels, 30 mins on day 1. Breaks every two hours

in

Marvellous, thanks.

Looks like just over 200 entries so far today, can't understand why this hasn't been better supported. The opportunity to play a tournament with €200,000 prize pool for the cost of a few beers via the online satellites is so good. Not to mention the chance to bink a CPP package.
If I can do it, you all can.

I'll be interested how many runners this gets. £100 might price a few people out.

I was going to play this but found out i'm busy on day 2 :(

My table playing like a 10 freeze online. 100 buy in has not improved standard

Can't imagine midweek if runners are low today. Hoping to get involved at some point

It's Day 1A of the Grand Prix, DTD started at 5pm and late reg/re-entry is available until 8.50pm.

DTD currently have 308 entries after the first break.

6 more live day 1's running this week - http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/this-week-dusk-till-dawn-strive-for-another-uk-record-breaking-field-in-the-july-grand-prix/2247

Day1b at 5pm. Pretty stunning value this for £100, given the numbers required to hit that guarantee....

Snap. Would have been better not running it over 2 weekends imo.

No goer this time as have to work next weekend shame tho first one iv mised

What time was this finished by last night?

Times are hard when blondes through to day 2 are out numbered by girls.

15 levels. Reckon it was done by about 2am

I don't think there is any reason other than with it being the first two weekends of the school holidays many people will be going away, I would have played but it's the wife's birthday next weekend.

Hello, I'm Jamie Agnew, new Blonde (as of last week). Think that just about evens it out..?

Joined up here hoping that having my play updated on here might help stop the silly moves I make. Going on yesterday's play I definitely need any help I can get.... Having said that no flops went my way at all (can't remember making a single value bet), but I got 2 lucky treble ups - AA vs KK & KK, and QJs vs TT & AA.

Looking forward to next week, I'll happily sit and wait for treble ups again  :D

Oh that's you! I was two to your right. I like your game plan. Sit sit sit sit treble up sit sit sit get AA v KK and KK treble up again :-)

Patience is key. Good luck

And I am David Morgan, so numbers helped some more :)

Think numbers would have been better if it had remained at 50 quid, as I can't see the midweek games starting at 8 getting huge numbers due to people working. Yesterday finished at 2am and started at 5!

Are the mid weeks not starting at 5 as well?

Maybe I'm wrong. 5 would make much more sense

hope so thats what site says

Will playing later in the week. 

Can I buyin at the club over the counter?  Or do I have to go through the online route?

over the counter fine as long as spaces the day you wish to play,

Review of Day1a

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=7&id=267

Does anyome know how many Golden Chip holders got through Day 1a?

Don't know if you have to display chip as per recent Deepstacks to claim CPP prize?

Nicola will know the answer to these

Not sure the info on who specifically has golden chips will be released, but she'll know numbers

It's a nice game plan when the luck's there (especially when it happens against people limping big hands.... :) )

Good luck next week

Grand Prix Update: Day 1A: 327 entries

Day 1B: Currently only 112?!

Not looking great, big overlay is possible

Great value for all players

got to dtd about 3.30pm as doors were opening for 4pm, Firstly the big Grand Prix sign outside the club Had the wrong dates  on the poster, and there was a few people mulling around as they were sent an e-mail saying comp starts at 3pm, just thought i would mention this.

this was yesterday.

Ty, playing midweek so shouldn't be a problem.

Will the blinds still be 2500/5000 A500 on day2?
Think it might be a different comp but I remember them knocking the levels back a few, also is it 40 min clock?

They wound the blindes back in the GP earlier in the year, but in the last one they didn't

I noticed the error on the sign outside too.

I think a few things will contribute to lower numbers this time - the buy-in of £100 is okay but with it being a re-entry tourney, many will budget for £200 which is quite an outlay for many recreational players. The time of year with school holiday just starting won't have helped. Promotion seemed a bit patchy for this in my view, compared to usual and I - and this may seem a little thing, but I think having Simon Trumper building up the excitement beforehand and being at the event helps enormously. This time, with the WSOP beforehand and Simon playing at other poker rooms on the day, I don't think the event had the usual big build up although I could be imagining this.

I actually liked the re-entry format, as long as its limited to a single extra bullet each day (as this was).

Still expecting good numbers, but the guarantee does look like it could mean an overlay.

Perhaps the best approach would be to have six day ones, Fri/Sat/Sun across two weeks, with the Day 2/3 on the third weekend?

Grand Prix or Grande Price?

whats the last level of the day someone please? Im playing today, gl to anyone else playing

Hey, the blinds will start at level 16 on day 2, we won't be rolling the blinds back :)

Blog summarising Day1b

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=7&id=272

Yea it was the last GP (or the 1 before) where they rolled back the blinds a couple of levels on day 2 (could of been day 3 not 100%) as the average was like 30bb or something laughable.

I think all players who get through would appreciate this again especially as the average stack is probably going to be even more shallow this time around if we accept that this weeks day 1s will most likely get less numbers, meaning the average stack will also less. I'd even go as far to say it could possibly be all over by the end of day 2.

may be playing this friday dont now yet i should be working but work slowed down so no over time

153 tonight for 1c, overnight chip counts in the morning

340 needed each night now to hit the 200k gte, which must be a tough tough ask

A few plans being changed to play this, I hope, given the phenomenal value.....

Hmm, wasn't going to but........

maybe all day 2 returns could now be guarenteed a min cash?

just saying.....

Was gonna play Wednesday but gonna come tomorrow and try play on line for another chip at the same time. Rick117 let the pool team down tonight and stayed in to play the sats. He won 2 out of 3 for £500/£200/GP but is still a wanker for letting his mates down

Agree with this because it will likely pretty shallow already and everybody nitting it up for 2 levels will just mean the average reaches >20bb at the most important stages of the tourny

Not sure about nitting it up, at the last GP on Day 2 it was absolute carnage with all-ins and calls on the first seven hands of the day, on my table!

Is there a projected payout structure anywhere for this event? I don't mean actual payout values - but %'s paid and where the jumps are?

So you want DTD to change the payout structure midway through the tournament?

Pool>>poker ATM for me, but Rick117 probably knew they were playing the worse team in league and relised they don't need him and decided too bink some seats... Can't fault him lol

Good luck tonight fella, I know a fair few of my mates pigeons are all heading down tonight also.

Ricks a sneaky bastard dean. He knew we were playing the best team in the league as they are county and one international player and we got hammered 9-3 and were lucky in 2 of the wins. Rick just wanted to keep his personal averages up :)

Is this an actual question. I thought my position was clear.

Yes

Friday sold out yet?

There are still seats available for Friday, round them up Alex ;)

Any figures on how many Golden Chips are through to Day Two?

All the news from Day 1c of the Grand Prix as we find a new chipleader!

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=7&id=280

Yes it was a serious question - more serious than your suggestion imo

Imagine the fuss if DTD decided to do this midway through the week when some players have no doubt already bust out in level 15 because it 'wasn't worth coming back with a slightly below average stack'.

It was bad enough when they rolled back the blinds on a previous Day 2.

I don't understand why you feel it would have a negative effect to pay all day 2 players?

Seeing as there is going to be max 15% total left, that's a pretty standard payout structure. Also I'd argue the 20-30 people who wouldn't get paid for making day 2 would be more pissed having to come back down to notts from far and wide only to bust soon after and leave with nothing.

It's a bit tricky though... Paying 15% of the field is fine by me. But paying for reaching a certain blind level doesn't really work. It will effect the game. If it were like this then a higher % of the field would reach day 2 as people can just nit it up at the end knowing that if they survive one more level they have cashed.

If there's a single starting day then you can always play to the cash, but this may take too long. With multiple starting days then I don't think there's really any getting around the fact that some people are going to turn up on day 2 and still not cash.

And finally... you can't change payouts mid comp. It has to be as advertised at the start.

I have no real objection to the idea of having a comp where you get paid for making Day2, as a travelling player that works for me. But.... It only works if that's the way it is from the start. Changing it half way through is just plain wrong.

Agreed !

Are you at Dtd today David?

Sat in shorts n headphones ain't fooling anyone you old duffer :)

Yeah i agree with everything being said tbf and i don't really support paying on day 2 of a 3 day event or a high % of the field for that matter, however the GP is a little unique because it's not quite a deepstack so after 15 levels, day 2 will be 20% or less pretty much always, which isn't too bad to adjust payouts for 1 event if it will attract more people who now have a better chance of guaranteeing some return.

also the GP has a significantly higher the usual % of players traveling and paying the costs associated with that, so a mincash upon reaching day 2 would sound a more attractive prospect to most players on the fence about potentially being in for a few hundred £ imo

Got me a call from KJ on a JAJxx ccc board when I shoved ther river with AJ :-) J

Trying to insert quotes on phone fail...

Lol you old duffer :)

Just raised  Qd Jd and called shove for 3125 total.
He had  Jh Tc
Board   4c 3h  Kd Td  Ad

First time I've had that live

mbn Dave ft again i presume, i can only flop it in cash and get paid with 67d flop 8910d

My Qd Jd is good there too mike.

 Qd Jd is never in doubt whilst ur holding them pal

Can u wear shorts now? It was a while ago but i got refused entry?

It might be an irrelevant debate anyway as there may be few enough qualifiers through that day two gets cashe anyway... Will be close assuming they are paying 15% of field

Is there a live update for day2?

Yes, Caroline this weekend. Me next weekend for the £200

There's a trophy sitting on the feature table.

Has anyone told.Paul Ho?

I see Steve Vladar and Xuyen Vladar (Bad Girl) are playing the GP tonight.  Maybe we should start a where have you been / where are they now thread for the long forgotten. They were on the original William Hill deal with Thewy back in the day.

I sat with them both. Had a baby a couple of years ago. He was his usual professional self and she was just lovely.

http://www.guidetopoker.com/interview-with-brit-bad-girl-xuyen-pham_15657

After looking at the numbers going through day2 & the chips stack , I think
the tourney will b finished by 9pm Saturday night.
Hopefully , in my opinion Dtd will roll back the levels to make it last for 3days .
Just my opinion but I respect what decision u at Dtd make .

Rob's blog last night

- The "overlay look", and Amjad comes up with an Accumulator tournament concept

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=281


Day 1e tonight at 5pm, late reg to 8.50pm.....3 nights to go. Try not to give too many overlay looks to the boss, right?

Playing today (and tomorrow if it goes tits up) Good luck any other Blondes coming down tonight!

Interesting chip spread there. No real big stacks through last night.

Tournament blog from Day1d

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=7&id=283

How do we know they paying 15% of field? I cant see this anywhere on their site. Has this been confirmed?

Just read the accumulator idea on the blog from a point of view from a recreational player who travels 50 miles to get there I would definitely avoid playing any tourney where a chip leader from day 1 could potentially be short stacked on day 2 because he only wants one entry and has to work where as someone else could play 6 day ones and accumulate a stack. Being relatively new to the live game I am surprised at the lack of ideas across many casinos - for example bounty hunters and tourneys where each table plays to one winner and those winners then form the next round seem good ideas. The down to one player could be a two day with the first round on day one. Why not even a champion of champions where every winner of major tourneys play each other every so many months? 1% of the pot could roll towards it. Just my twopenneth for some thing else to try - the chip leader I think is very good and should prove popular again so well done on that one.

No, that is just speculation

Spoke to one of TDs on Sat and he said would be about 180 - 210 paid. It's normally about 12% of field. I am sure it must have been agreed somewhere. I guess if only 1300 entries this would reduce number paid despite being guaranteed at 2k runners

Of course . They have to pay out on number of runners played not how many they hoped to play. Heard a few interesting things at Dtd last night but one of the least interesting was that Dtd expect 500 runners on Friday. Catherine's step daughter has her graduation thurs/ Friday do hoping we leave early enough Friday to give this another bullet

Finally made day 2 last night, 4th attempt!

Good luck to all the other blondes playing this.

What percentage of the field do they pay in 1500 runner tournaments?

Looks like ~12% of runners are making it through each night.

Normally 10% iirc

Only clue on site is minimum cash will be 200 euros

Wanker :)

If it softens the blow at all Jase, I was able to make a real nice chip castle with all those black chips you had :)

Lol. That was so funny. Just coming to the end of level 14 and the break and chip race colour up. Adrian wants me to buy up all the greys and I say to him "hope this table breaks and I move to A table were they think I am an aggro nut with all the antes. Got my move of the table alright. Just with no chips :)

Hot of the press wife is letting me have another bullet today wiiiiiiiii

GL GL GL

Cant see them implementin this, like u say not fair on those who only play 1 bullet. Might b worth considering allowin players to enter as many day 1s as they like but can only carry forward their biggest chip stack. Just a thought......

I've emailed Rob Yong direct, but in essence this is wrong!

My only concession to the issue of shortstacks would be to allow those with less than say 8BBs to sacrifice their stack and re-enter. Can't allow people to play with the safety net of already being through.

Why not?

Just as an aside, I visited 3 cardrooms last night and including my own, attendance is down about 25% since Friday. Stokes GPS may suffer a little too. Apart from the first glimpse of summer, it could be the fact it's Ramadan causing lower attendance.

Because it would completely change the tournament dynamic, and could put many off.

Imagine day 1g. It would be full of 100bb shoves where people who have already qualified try to get a massive stack with no real fear of busting out.

When I first heard the suggestion I thought it was a good idea too but the more I've thought about it, the more it's clear that it wouldn't really work in practice

What time does play finish tonight please? Am debating going there now straight from work.

about 2

lol now we got Trumps Tour and Diks Tour

Rather than an accumulator you could let people play all 7 day ones and they carry forward the highest of their chip stacks.

Bad idea that is Greg . Spending £700 and only got  7bb into Day2.
Sighhhhh #WhatALife

think DTD  could still do some thing about the potential over lay
why not run an on-line day one Friday night along side live ?
effectively an extra day 1

Already covered why that's a poor idea.
Sure if you read back you'll find it.

Hi

A slightly better turnout tonight, I don't know where the rumours about DTD expecting 500 players on Friday are coming from ?!?! - we only have 79 players bought in for Friday! I wish....I have had player texting me to reserve a seat - with only 79 in so far, im sure everyone will get in!

There will be no extra Day 1's or flights or any changes to the schedule

Payouts will be posted on here by Nick tomorrow

Nic xxx

Bad idea for you fish :-) x

The rumour came from herbie, Nicola  when he posted in here.Safely disregard :-)

WP George

2. €6 & €12 STTs available 24/7

Thanks Tightend, helpfull as always :))))

After my calculation , I don't think it's gonna b an overlay in this comp tbh.
My predictions r if there r 300+ runners today and 400+ runners tomoz , Dtd will
definitely made the guarantee of €200k assuming there r around 700 players this next 2 days.
Gl and I hope they hit the guarantee . Fingers & Legs crossed for them .

Hope so Francis from China


1052 so far, 300 Friday, 250 tonight is my guess

1600 runners, 40k short. Hopefully a lot less

Anyone else have a prediction?

yes i would agree with chippyman, think friday will be mega busy 350? and 2nite 200ish? so overlay might not be as big as thought

Don't forget Rich, if they get 1650 players , that means £165,000 ( in pounds ) and
the guarantee r in €€€ ( euros ) . So it's very close !!! Trust me , I seldom made mistake,
the only mistake I made us to learn to play this game !!! #WhatALife

POW! Go Bedi!!

Good point sir 1600 runners isn't a £40k overlay, its less. Need all your mates there though, and everyone else!

#HashtagOverloadFromTwitterNewbies

Sorry Rich, haven't got many good mate left ...
Sighhhhhhh

including re entries i think they may get 500 runners Friday night. Hope so any way

yeah friday could be very messy :)

Nice Stack Chuckles!!

Wow. So last night was the aggro crash bang wallop heat?! Or did they play 17 levels?

Don't recognize many of the big stacks through so far so could interesting.

What's Ross Patmans Blonde id?

Playing Day 1F. Hoping that running thru the minefield of a GP day 1 I won't get my legs blown off by "curious" plays :)

Still got 5 GCs left but can't make Friday night so not sure if I've lost the other 3 or 4 seats if I don't make day two :(

Ask whoever is on the Online support desk tonight, they'll know about unused GCs

Ross Patman? In the blondepoker facebook group, so will be on here somewhere....

Tournament Highlights has just posted a new blog article: Grand Prix Day 1e. View it at http://is.gd/duO19g

Unannounced the structure of this has changed.

In GP VI we played 15 levels but came back with blinds at 1500/3000/300(poss 400)
Didn't get to 2500/5000/500 until Level 19

This time we're at 2500/500/500 in Level 16

Might account for there having been around 15% through to Day 2 last time as opposed to just under 12% so far this time?

234 were paid last time from 2325 - pretty much bang on 10% rounded to 9s?

Could be cagy in the opening levels Saturday with 5/6 of the field to get paid.

Think I'd take the under on that :)

Rob Yong has just posted a new blog article: Wednesday Day 1e Tunnel. View it at http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=285

oh what an excellent read. some of the best stuff i've ever seen on the internet

Just looking at the payout and it will be 198 places paid which well based on the estimate around 12% of the field.
min cash is €200 2 x buy in as is all our comps now - we are working on the new payout structure at the moment that will bring us in line with the market.
1st prize will be just short of €40k

good luck to all those through even more luck to all those planning on getting there.

Cheers Nick

Just sat down and I have a chatty table so hopefully that means good things.

Already had a misdeal where a card went off the table to seat 3 but seat 2 had AA and seat 5 KK... So someone got off lghtly there.

gl John.

Ty sir. Just had jack Allen come sit to my right.. Gl him.

Guess I'll have to fire another bullet, sigh.......

we tried to bluff someone with a gutshot - [  ] that worked.

Then got some chips from jack with SB 42o vs btn A6o aipf. :D

Then just now a massive double up to 48k @ 200/400 with AK vs KK aipf.

Little goulden today, lets keep it up. :D

Not that it matters to me cos I already out, but surely a min cash should be 240 euro (god damn jus realised how old my comp is I aint got a Euro symbol) or £200 ???

Buyin was €100+€20...

OOOooooh. That wud make sense... ty  :blonde:

Its still £31k overlay, which is not to be sneezed at

Not saying it was, at all

231 tonight, 1282 total

400 tomorrow?

the overlay looking like £30-35k

Wp wp wp wp ....this show the example of the best player in
the midlands plays... Wp wp wp wp

Translation....

Ruckbox!

fyp

Said £100 from each entry in prizepool on screens @ DtD

Thanks Frankie.. Much love.

busted when we craise AQ on J10x vs J10.. Didn't get there..

Came, donated, leaving.

Gl all!

managed to lose 100k in last level ..  82k ftw

Will this be sold out tomorrow? Is late regging at 6 or 7 likely to be successful?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
As announced and as referenced throughout, 2000 entries needed to hit the guarantee of €200,000. buyin €100+€20
[ ] screens were right

Imo they'll be well over 450 today. Already 135 pregistered as of early yesterday night, thats nearly the same amount that entered other days in total.
Then all the cash entries.
All the last re-entries before sat.
Would not be surprised to see 500 total entries.

Me ;)

Looks like you put my chips to good use. gl on day two (and 3) :)

arhhh simon was you on my table? i did take a few people out. yeah luck needed saturday, someone got 480k chips last night.least it takes the pressure off me pheww lol :) have you made saturday?

Rob's blog last night discusses his feelings on the Grand Prix:

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=290

Nope, fired my last bullet Thursday. Will be just following updates. Great comp though.

fhl

300 entries last night according to site so that was lowest percentage getting through so far. Looking like just over 200 for day 2 in total then.

yeah its fun tourney and some characters though have to question some players having 7+buyins, should just know when its not your tourney me thinks lol

Fired 2 bullets this week and would deffo do again, was a good value comp and the standard of play was not that great overall. Would have had another crack tonight if the olympics weren't on.

shhhh

7+ buyins is perfectly fine when its 200k gtd!

many of the multiple buyins are multiple Golden Chip winners I'd guess

I had three goes this time and reckon my chips cost me a total of something under £80 including all the fails. Some of the more skillful lucky players maye have spent much less.

oh yes heard a few ppl having loads of golden chips if thats the case then fine, i had 2, @tightend with it being 200k i kinda understand there thinking...i guess lol

 ;bump;

Tournament Highlights has just posted a new blog article: Grand Prix Day 1f. View it at http://is.gd/g55EY2

Probably stupid question. I played at wednesday after won sattelite and golden chip but bust( 14th level ;/) Today will playing afer direct buyin - golden chip is still valid? BTW I cant uderstand why i cant find from two days any online sattelites? Peopole are looking for it so why organizer cant carry about it?

Anyway its my first post here(george2loose bring me here) so hello to everybody.

No the Golden Chip is only valid on the entry you used it for

Online satellites finished yesterday, I believe, for entry into tonight

Hi Alex

I'll put you on my list of late reg's, I'm sure you will be fine, we have alternates until 8.50pm :)

Thanks Nicola, expecting to be there 630ish

You will be fine, only 296 in with no alternates list yet!

there's 334 players in the Grand Prix day 1G as of now. ~(1685 total for the day 1's)

 The club has enough dealers to deal to a full club (405+alternates) so anyone thinking of playing you have until 8.50pm, looks like you'll definitely get in

what was the final reg numbers for tonight?

Do we know how many positions pay? And is there a payout structure chart for this?
