blonde poker forum

Today is the acid test. A big one


Day1a saw 54 of 235 go through

Day1b saw 51 of 220 go through


So going into today the situation is as follows


455 in so far
310 registered for today

Runners required to hit the £500,000 GTE: 235

So when the doors open today, DTD starts with an overlay of £117,500 and we'll see what happens


Doors open at 1.30pm, play begins at 2pm. Late registration until 8.45pm

DTD have dealers coming, extra tables up. If you show up, they'll get you in.

Today is being updated by JGillDTD

A quick word about Jonathan. It's ok he'll still be in bed

Jonathan has been on a year's placement from his University course. You could not wish to meet a nicer lad and he's been tremendously helpful to DTD and also to the blonde updates in 2012

He goes back to Newcastle this month, and asked to do an update before he went back, and DTD asked me.....

So here it is, just the 50 tables then Jonathan.

Go well, and a special request to everyone watching to help him out over the next few days. Patience and understanding please.


Jonathan will be along at 1.55pm, knowing him, to kick us off!

Good luck to all my friends playing today

Welcome to Day 1c at Dusk Till Dawn

This is the earliest I've arrived here before the event has kicked off, by a good 40 minutes!

This is the 2nd time this year there has been tables in the bar area, last time of course was during the record breaking £1million GTD UKIPT event.

358 registered so far meaning in just 20 minutes we have already had 58 walk ins with a long queue of people still waiting to buy-in.

Coming to watch today. Currently in black cab, trying to negotiate football traffic (the driver is, anyway).

VBOL to SteveF but am hoping for a fun-filled day, for DTD to hit the guarantee (easy to say when you're not value hunting!) and for me to be able to think of something witty to end this sentence.

Nope. Ah well.

Shout outs for your favourites!

To all guests viewing this thread, feel free to sign up and send me your requests in regards to pictures/chip counts

Will get around them as quick and nimbly as possible!

Good luck with the updates and too all Blondes playing.

Really hope its a sell out.

This, & great work tighty over the past few days.

Good luck Jonathan, I don't envy your task today!

^^^^^

Mark Chantler and Simon Hemsworth chip counts n pics please Jonathan

The seat draw is now up
There is still a queue at the cash desk for direct buy-in's, with 388 registered so far, requiring 545 to hit the overlay. Personally, I predict about 500 people will make the trip today:

Have set up camp in the far bar (the one that used to be the VIP bit), with laptop juiced up and connected. Great TV views ftw. Feel free to pop over for getting bad beat stories off your chest*

Five tables set up in this bar area. I have my poker cliche bingo card ready. Have already ticked off:

"Lucky river"
"I picked up the wrong chips"
"What are the blinds again?"

If you hear someone shouting LINE! in the near future, you've found me. Write your own gags.


*Tal Counselling Services is an unregulated non-existent company and might actually laugh at your bad beat stories, although he will try not to.    

Found that shirt last week . Thought is still look new.
Disguise myself today. Smart, new haircut, new pair of Gucci shoes .
Feeling good man

Good luck to Ryan Spittles, Julian Thew and james Rann!!

Why would you not want to play poker with this as a soundtrack?

It's only when you're not playing that you notice the sound of 500 people riffling chips. It's like an open minded lobster colony in here.

Will take another stab at this, seat draw permitted in a few levels or so

Larry Mayes is out
I asked for the hand details, apparently he "did 45k in with nothing"
this puts greig Miller on almost 100k

Meanwhile Tim Chung is bust
Peels a 4bet pre with  Ad Qs
Flop -  Ts Js Ks, Chung check/calls the bet from Cradock
Turn -  Qh
Cradock bets 9.2k, Chung says he jams to get Cradock off the chop, Cradock has  Aspades 9s leaving Chung drawing dead.

Any word of any other tourneys being put on at short notice tonight? Just the feeder sat for CPP on website listed

Any chance of a photo and update on Lee Bartlett pls sir. Table 48, Seat 8 opposite Ed Gascgoine.

Gough makes it 2k, Rees says "I shouldn't call but I will"

Gough bets 2k, Rees calls.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have called preflop" says Rees

Turn -  3c

"look you said you'd cough up £56 for Herbie's staking. Now pay up, I don't see why I should be left holding the oversized babay"

Get a pic please, is he still in beach attire? Maybe he can buy some new "clean" plimsoles from new look. He won his seat at 2am this morning.

Paging PaulHo to table 13

Maylis Boardman checks, Leighton Buchanan bets 15k.
Boardman seems to be agonising, before getting it in for 45k.
After 3 seconds of not being snapped off, she instantly looks relieved.
Buchanan tanks and tanks, eventually folds meaning Boardman is now up to 85k.

You've got more chance of out-flopping me

Went to the bar earlier. Just me standing there and a number of valets (Competition: what's the collective noun for DTD Valets? Don't phone; it's just for fun). I could not have felt more overdressed.

The ten minutes it took to get served felt like an hour.

I'm def not a fan, but then I'm - by my own admission - quite weird, so it's hard to assimilate my opinion with anyone else's!

Nirvana
"150... or maybe 90"
On a solid 90k at the moment

great effort so far mate, keep it going! you've been great for DTD and I hope they realise it!

Keep it up and get the fans what they want! = picx ainec


Good luck to all the blondes playing the whole ruddy thing...
Alex, LilD, Smashed, Keys, and everyone else I know from Northampton, Nottingham, London and around the tour....
Sucks to not be around to play this event, I missed two of the big ones @dtd this year, and had a rough UKIPT Notts - back soon hopefully!


Valet uniforms - they're obviously pleasant to letch at, but lets be honest.. not very classy or appropriate... behave yourself dtd. (understand the tip differences are probably enormous... but how much more would they be if they were topless? - theres a topless barbershop near me... legal apparently)


Off out to see a proper circus now, so I'll look forward to checking back for updates on this one soon!


best of luck again to all and lets get the 1000 players smashed!

Display board currently showing 446 today. Be a shame for DTD if that's the final number.

Ben Young - 43k
Wayne - 28k

Round of hands at table herbie/Nirvana!

Hand #1: I get there midway through, 20k in the middle on  8c Qh 8d 2s 7c
Herbie checks, Spittles bet 7,600.
Herbie to 17k, Spittles calls, Herbie shows  Kc Kh which is good

Hand #2: Spittles 3bets Jonny Chapman
Chapman with a quick 4bet, Spittles with a quick fold

Hand #3: Chapman raises, 3 callers
 6c Qc Jc flop
Checks to Alistair Carins, better known as sharkman who bets, all players fold

Hand #4: 3 limpers, Sharkman takes a stab on the flop, Chris Rose calls
checks both turn and river, Rose wins with  Ad Js turning a Jack, Sharkman with just Ace high

Hand #5: Spittles to 1,100, Owen Mullan calls
Mullan then folds to the c bet of Spittles

River -  5c
Nirvana bets 8,100.
"Are you a satellite winner?" ask Chapman the table cracks up
"did you hear that? I'm being accused of being a satellite winner! You have to be good to win a satellite!"
Chapman with the eventual fold

Hand #7: Chapman to 1,025, Sharkman calls
"Are you a satellite winner?" asks Chapman to Sharkman, Sharkey folds to a cbet

Hand #8: Sharkman makes it 1,500, Raggy calls who check/folds

Bad news.

After an early mishap I'd chipped back up to 57k. Then at 250/500al a50 mid position raises to 1250 from 40k, I 3bet BB with Kings to 3.3k, he makes it 8k, I jam.

He has dem aces.

Yeh I'm stuck in traffic FML

Got there as James Williams was departing the rail
Titcombe however on 80k

Don't think Skalie is here?
Sean Belton however is going strong on 110k

One of the biggest stacks is Lars Torngren, now on about 180k

Update on Craig Storer please

Storer on 80k
Ross Cleverley up there with the chipleaders on about 180k

Would be grateful for updates on Jeff Hemmerman. Started on table 75.

Doubt he's played a hand yet.

Diolch

LEGOOOOOOOOO

25k, he says "come back in half an hour"

Who dare kill da fishhh

Who ate all the pies, who ate all the pies.....making Calenti look slim

Never thought I'd see the day that dean looks fatter than me.

Wear stripes next time mate.

About 5 minutes ago Wayne Thomas was telling me how hes grinded back to above average stack, and he will starting making noise
I just caught him walking out the door at a fast pace, I looked at where he was seated with no chips to be seen.

If you get an opportunity Jonathan, would it be possible to have a chip update on Julian Thew and Ryan Spittles please

Morale is high
Spittles was fairly low but now on 85k
Thew on 50k, he says "about starting stack, grinded my way up, feels good"

Who do you reckon the top 5 chip leaders are Jonathan?

Only 45 tables to get round to find out.....

Back above starting stack !!

GL lee.    :)up

Players are now on a 25 minute break
People can register up to the end of this break, when I will give you the final numbers of this £500 Deepstack
25 denomination chips are being coloured up as when we return blinds are 500/1,000/100 in Level 9.

Update on Prasanna Suryanarayanan please.. think he is sitting in Ian Gas's table

About 20k

So hurtful u know I have gland problems

Tommy Bingham just came over, painfully on 11k having lost a 25k pot to Colin Young and had to grind his way up from 1.5k

Don't do yourself a disservice. Although we'll be in the minority, I think there are a few people who would agree with you.

It just seems a bit patronising to the poker players, and even more to the valets. I may well be wrong, but presumably the valets signed up originally to a waitressing job, with something that looked more like a waitressing costume? And so, when the change came in, they were effectively being told that they would have to make if they wanted to keep their job?

Would DTD agree that it's a shame there aren't more women that play poker regularly, and that a big part of the reason is the percieved masculine atmosphere in poker rooms? I bet that they do, but, to a first-timer's eye, this could make it seem not.

It's no big objection, as obviosuly all Vegas poker rooms look exactly the same, but just a thought.

Great updates; was going to late-reg today, but feeling dodgy after a wedding y'day, so enjoying the updates instead.

Is that the problematic gland thats sticking out of your mouth?

anyone else think they dont even look that hot? like, the shorts should maybe be a bit tigther, and look a little less like 100m springting shorts from the 70's

Players are now back in action
Day 1c registration draws to a close of 454 entires, giving us a total of 909 entries meaning Dusk Till Dawn ended up 91 players off the overlay.
367 players remain, as we only have 4 full levels to play this evening

chip counts for Alex Torrance and David Harris please, thanks alot :)

Jessica Bone gets 32k in with  Aspades 9c
Called by the  Jc Jd of Sven Pezzotta
 Js on the flop ends it for Jessica

Torrance on 70k
Harris has just relocated, will give you his chip count when I hunt him down

Michael Michael (his real name, apparently. No typo) makes it 2,100
Lawrence Townsend to 6k, Michael calls
Flop -  2c 5d 7d
Townsend bets 8k, called
Turn -  Ahrt
Townsend bets 17,500, call from Michael.
River - 9d
Townsend left with 30k shoves with  Ad Ac
Snapped by the  Qd 8d of Michael

Update on Paul rider please, when you get a chance.

What level is it? Playing 16 levels today...

ha yes I said this.... One of these girls looks like she she is a 10000m runner. I have got bigger hooters.

Not gonna get on my high horse about the girls because I would never knock back a free lunch if it presented itself but the best looking girl in the house is Terrie by miles and she is in the old uniform.

Players dropping quickly now, Marcel Luske has now been added to the rail

Lawrence Townsend is currently being restrained in the car park.
All I can hear is chants of Michael... Michael... Michael Michael....

Apologies, thought it was 12.
Longer shift than I expected then! 16 levels to play tonight

About 75k

2.15am close and chip counts up before bed please :-)

It's not the biggest issue in the world and I know debating it for the second (third?) consecutive day of updates isn't helpful, but did want to throw my tuppence in. You and I are beginning to come over all Germaine Greer, which is - at least for my part - a little unsettling.

Rob knows his business better than I, so I'd never want to give the impression I'm telling him how to do his job. You're right that what they wear is no different to every Vegas casino, so there is probably something in it from a business perspective. The girls are all under 60, too, so that's one up on a good chunk of the Strip!

The fact that I have no idea where to look might actually be my problem, not theirs! They are all beautiful women with figures worth showing off. I would just prefer it done differently.

Am I right in saying they used to wear cocktail dresses or have I made that up in some dream (probably involving me winning the Monte Carlo)?

A much bigger disappointment is Dusk being 91 short. It's a real shame but, by the same token, it is incredible that, with so many three figure comps going on these past few weeks and, with the economic climate as it is, Dusk has managed to get 909 unique entries. 909.463 including Herbie (check his staking thread if you haven't already and want to cry with laughter - best of blonde contender for sure).

Speaking of stakes/steaks, mine has arrived. In the words of Henry VIII, "Arise, Sir Loin!". Not really a tournament update. Call it a bonus update.  

yes sir!

Such a disgusting way to bust!

Haha at this ^^^

Doing a fine job of the updates mr gill

Just saw Prassanna get eliminated for a 50k pot vs Ed Gascoigne
his  7c 8c vs Ed's  3c 3d on a  8d 2h 6c 3s board
Ian sweating over his son's play more than his own

bit disrespectful saying that about the hooters...i imagine most the staff are students and probably view all us poker players as sad buggers and they are just earning their crust...remember they are all someones daughter...no offence.

thankyou! actually really enjoying myself this evening

Shane Dewsbury the first man over 200k, comfortably with 230k

I am head of HR here smurf.  No offence was intended.

Really? You disgust me.

James Akenhead now sits to the left of James Browning.

There. I did it. I'm going for a shower now to wash away the shame.

Gaz Walker moved to the immediate left of Ben Young

Tightend has shown me this. Goodness me, I don't know where some of you get your information from, so many rumours go around about DTD, which is really surprising because we are so open as an organisation.

Lets clear the Valet uniforms up;

1. These are exactly the same uniforms as we used for the CPP model shoot 6 months ago, with the intention of using the same uniforms for the Valets in the run up to the CPP, whether we keep them after that, who knows. Hospitality staff within DTD has known about these new uniforms for 6 months, we just didn't get round to ordering them till a few weeks ago, was meant to be much sooner.

2. Zero Valets have left due to the new uniform. Fact.

3. All Valets that are in the uniform were recruited to wear this uniform and have been shown it and tried it on before accepting the job (since it's been planned for 6 months), anyone with over 6 months service has been given the choice to wear it, noone has been forced, goodness me.

4. We have also increased the pay for Valets by 30% for promoting the brand with the uniform.

5. The uniform is exactly the same as Hooters but black, its way less revealing that 99% of the uniforms in Vegas, but if you don't like Hooters uniforms, I guess you wont like these

6. Feedback so far on Valets uniforms to me personally is 80% 20% in favour, I have asked 100+ customers over last few days, although I admit, some of the 20% feel very strongly against them, that's life, cant keep everyone happy all of the time

I am really sorry for not putting out a Official Statement on this subject earlier, wrists slapped :)

P.S. 910 :( :( :(

Are there any male valets at DTD?

Chip counts of Mark Mcniesh and Tristan Chaplin plz fella when ya get chance..

Not sure of the exact betting dynamics
however, Ian Gasciogne all in for 30k with  Kc 2s
Thew all in for 65k with  8d 8h
Stan Topol has them both covered with  Ad Kc
Thew in good shape as Storer announces he folded  Ac Qd

Board runs out  2d 9d 5s 3h.....  7c
Thew elminates Gascoigne who mis-timed a squeeze
Now up to about 170k, huge pot

Lol only you Camel only you

:)

Rob, whatever you do there will always be someone moaning.

I like the valets uniforms.

They all look smart and walk around smiling

Well done DTD

Mcniesh - 85k
Chaplin - 45k

Just got back to the hotel don't think I'll sleep well tonight going to have nigthmares of  Qd 9d I do despair with the donks that seem to find there way into a £500 comp,o well without the fish we would not go swimming ,good luck to the blondes,I hope the fish that knocked me out ends up flapping around on the rail pretty soon....... Only joking  Qd 9d well played lol

If there is please please don't post pics of them in these outfits.

I think the valet thing is a complete disgrace. I saw a girl who was almost pushing on being a size 10 walking round, I can only assume she will put on a stict diet to conform to industry standards. Also ordered 2 blueberry muffins, one of them had more blueberrys than the other. Please ensure there is an even amount of blueberrys in each muffin

Trying to get Tal working all day !

Thanking You

keep up the good work  ;applause;

Not the first, Lee. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Over 100k mark

Players are now on a 30 minute break
259 remain, in the end we infact had a total of 910 runners, not 909.
Still 5 full 40 minute levels to play when we return, blinds being 1k/2k/300, average at 87k.

Rob

Don't suppose many have complained about your generous overlay

Case Closed

Will be bringing you chip counts of notables just after the break

Now playing:

(http://imgsrv1.pxdrive.com/pics/norm/122777.jpg)

ben young , ross clvs updates please.thanks.as for the uniforms i go there to play poker.makes no odds to me what they wear.if theyre happy to wear them and have a 30% pay rise i dont see what all the fuss is about.i like a good moan but dusk til dawn continue to offer great value mtts with great structures yet theres always something to moan about.next youll be complaining the chairs have too many legs and the cards dont have enough tens in the pack.give them a break.500 bb with great levels and an amazing prizepool full of fishy players ( im one of them ) .what more do you want.

Any news on Rug Aujla? We are anticipating what he will end up with. Conroy has 2/1 he won't make day two. Rug is already I'n the money if he makes it. And some pics please!

Ross Clevs on 190k at the break, will try and hunt Ben Young down

150k

thanks again for the speedy and excellent updates. any idea what they are playing down to tomorrow? 4 tables?

(http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r600/leeethefish/98f539f6442a2648537c69729115308f.jpg)

Got to love herbie ...... Looks a bit like Rob!!

Pics and chips for Blair Hampton & Iilja Stovjavsjevic please

KK gets folded pre alert....

Utg min raises
Craig storer 3 bets to 7k out of 160,000
Bb 4 bets to 17500 from 140,000
Utg folds
Storer folds kings face up zomg... Rang me and sounded happy about it, I think I definatly peel the flop hope to hit a king/call flop and re-evaluate turn.

Understand his reasons for folding though. 160k is massive at this stage and the bb is a super nit but aagghhh fold kings pre :(

I am in the I can't fold kk pre flop club!

Hampton - 35k
Can't find Iilja in the system, apparently hasn't played today

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pcgySoa-mbM/UEKH2f_SlCI/AAAAAAAAbjQ/Tybz8Fqpvi0/s640/P1000484.JPG)

bb tells Storer after the break that he did infact have Aces

Yep.

Did it once. Even asked the guy "Will you show if I fold?" just so that, when he said yes, I'd know I was behind. Folded my kings face up to the expectant crowd. All eyes then turned to the villain, who turned over his Ace...Jack.

Then again, I'm pretty rubbish.

Why can't I find players like storer no!!!!! I find the player that calls with fxxxxxg  Qd  9d lol

Ed Gascoigne and Charlie Wates added to the elimination list

Still unable to find I'm afraid

No worries, perhaps he unregged Thanks for looking

ben young . ross clevs please thanks again.

At the risk of treading on toes, an actual poker hand update:

AIPF 3 way KK v QQ v shorty JTo

Board comes 46758

Cue audible gasps and giggles.

While Kings is - and fair play to them for doing so - taking a picture of the hands with his smart phone around a minute later, Queens says "Oh! There's a straight on the board! I thought I'd lost!"

Innit marvellous?

Long list of notables then:

Ross Clevs - 180k
Marc Foggin - 80k
Dan Morgan - 30k
Frankie - 44k
Ceri rees - 40k
Nirvana - 120k
Herbie - 33k

Hutch - 80k
Rayner - 23k
Kavanagh - bust

Sigh, didn't even see you wrote Guinness count.

We have a new chipleader
Sunny Chattha on a colossal 380k

Board says 198 remain. In 5 mins, blinds go to 1,500/3,000/400, which will mean the average stack is a tickle under 40bb.

Plenty of action to come in the next level or so, methinks.

Dan Morgan no longer a short stack.
He has catapulted his way upto almost 200k

Enjoying this working chemistry we have going on, despite not speaking or meeting you today

Crap valet tho

Emma Strutt pulling a sad face
was on 130k about 3 levels ago, now on 60k

Storer said he lost a 100k pot with AQ vs 10-7, all in pre
flop Queen high,, but villain rivered a straight

A man making solid progress all day is Luke Josephs.
Now up to 270k, one of the biggest stacks in the room
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-tfLl6lCxki4/UEKaUZONKGI/AAAAAAAAbjo/_yyWyiyc3KM/s640/P1000485.JPG)

To be fair, TightEnd would have told me to mind my own business by now. He would almost inevitably have been right, too :)

Just saw  James Akenhead, told me he is now out
He tells us he has been a short stack all day, never really managed to get anything going

I've been waiting for him to step in to be honest!

Ah you're doing a grand job.

Aujla making a habit of building stack, seems to run deep every time he is here
Now on about 280k

Plenty of 250k+ stacks seem to be emerging
Jack Allen one of them on 250k

The 250k+ crew:

Cina Farazdaghi - 250k
Jack Allen - 250k
Alexander Elias - 260k
Chandrakant Khajuria - 270k
Raghubinder Aujla - 280k
Luke Josephs - 280k
Andrew Gough - 280k
Adrian Ko - 290k
Luke Brerrton - 320k
Shane Dewsbury - 330k
Mohammed Fassil - 400k

Ceri Rees has now been eliminated to the rail

Always running Deep! Some pics of Rug please. Let's hope he can add to the Sunday Million & Scoop Results. Glglglgl!

Round with Goulders table?

Goulder has moved to the Ben Raven and Ross Clevs table.
Would love to do this, but Ricardo Campanario is in attendance, and he's talking (e.g. "lets chop if we gets HU, shall we chop? I'm a good HU player, pokerstars is rigged btw, Ace jack never wins, etc.etc.)

Will see if I can conjure up the bottle to attempt this after the break

Players now on a 20 minute break, racing off the 100 chip denominations.
Average at 137k, 166 remaining.
Two full levels remain tonight, blinds at 2k/4k/500 when we return.

Kevin asquith still in?

yes, on 155k

Chip count on Craig Storer please

Guesstimations on amount to return for day 2 gilly?

100k and tilting :/

I guessed 100 on about level 10, gonna stick with that guess, leaving us with 200 returning tomorrow
Maybe closer to 120 as supposed to 100

Tilt not good but at least he is still in... Still can't believe he folded KK pre lol

Chip count for Dean the tongue morris please.

Emma Strutt now out
Mohammed Fassil asks "who's chipleader now"
considering he's now up to 680k, most certainly him by a considerable distance
probably has double the amount of chips of the current player with the 2nd highest amount of chips

Out in 187th

Back to the Thew/Storer table.

Guy min raises from 40k
Storer calls
The T7 guy 3 bets and raiser shoves.
Storer sigh folds AJhh
T7 dude calls with TT
Other guy shows KQ

Jack high board. But we ain't results orientated are we Craig ;)

Oh. Thanks.

At least he can lick his wounds all the way home.

Gladys Long ships her 10bbs with A7
Called by TT....

Ace on the turn

You can't use the "I run so bad at DTD anymore"

Up to 70K

You like these quality updates from the comfort of my sofa at home gilly ?while you run around haha

Josephs to 8,500, Neil Ryder flats.
Peter Ockenden ships for 52k.
Ryder contemplates and calls, Ryder rejams for 145k.
Joseph agonise folds.
Ryder -  Ad Ahrt
Ockenden -  Qs Qc

Flop -  Qh 2s 2h

Ryder left cursing life, Ockenden triples to 150k despite facing one opponent.
I asked Josephs what he had, his response "not good. I wish I just went to sleep"

where are you hiding?

Missed the hand, but Ross Cleverley just got one outered, now down to about 50k

He's now sat with Frankie, Storer, and Dan Morgan who is up to 258k

Sat watching x factor in bed obviously lol

"Who's asking?" says Ryan Spittles, pretending to be annoyed
little disappointed when he finds out they were asking for Aujla

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-u23lHKkqX4w/UEKsSMO9Z-I/AAAAAAAAbj8/1Mj3MwNvptU/s640/P1000487.JPG)

Hope I beat Batey to this one...
Storer out, gets it in with  Jh Js against the  Ts Th of Weikang Wang
not your day when he flops a set, rivers quads.

Aahhh that's what the missed call is about mid level then sigh!!!!!

gan on chinese allen, off his tits this kid!

Thoughts on the Goulder orbit?

All the noise seems to be about Weikang Wang
"New deck, table 11" demands Frankie
He has now hit a 1 outer 3 times, he also eliminated Storer with the 10's vs JJ, hit about 7 full houses.
Went to the table with 30k a level ago I believe, now up to 300k+

promise this will come at the start of Level 16!

Now into level 16, the final level of the night at 2,500/5,000/500
136 remaining, off for a quick orbit with Goulder

I don't understand why there has been a change of uniform though, it doesn't change a poker players mentality because the valets are wearing something different?

Also, has the pay of employees NOT wearing the uniform been increased by 30%?

as i said......

London reg Gladys Long out...

A7 called by dem aces.

Why i love you JGill <3

Thanks mate. Did they get the 1000runners?

Day 1c is now over!
Today we saw 455 players take to the field, a total of 910 runners, 90 off the Guarantee resulting in an overlay.
115 players have made it through to tomorrows Day 2 which commences at 2pm, giving us 220 players still in the running.
Mohammed Fassil goes through as quite possibly the overall chipleader on about 700k.
Full chipcounts to come later this evening once they have been uploaded to the system.

Look forward to you all joining me same time tomorrow, before Day 3 where  live streaming will be hosted all day long!

910 :(

The 910 players that attended over last 3 days, thank you for your support, sorry we did not quite make it. Genuinely feel that the majority of players did not want this to overlay even tho its better for the players value.

Cheers Rob

Couldn't play to br reasons and neither could my dad but sure we'd both do our best to support you in the future. Hope the overlay doesn't affect you too badly. DTD is the best poker room we have played in, and long may it last. One of my real summer disappointments that i didn't get to support you at ukipt Nottingham or this event. Gl in  the future, hope the valet uniforn issue is sorted, look ok to me as a 20 y/o male.

Really well done on the updates mr Gill .... I hope DTD appreciate you ....we all do!

Great updates. Gl all left in day 2.

Thank you Jonathan, really enjoyed your updates yesterday

Good luck all that play day 2

While everyone would have liked DTD to make the guarantee - it would have been an awesome achievement..

They haven't actually had such a huge hit as it appears.

The juice from the 910 that played almost exactly covers the 45k shortfall.

So basically they are running a 910 runner comp for nothing.

Painful yes, but not quite as bad as it appears at first glance.

Not strictly true on this occasion, as the Satellite programme cost them a good amount.....

Almost all of the club sats missed there guarantee by half I think

You like these quality updates from the comfort of my sofa at home gilly ?while you run around haha

I decided to remove the lot after pleno replied and he wrote to me saying he would sort it out off forum.
