GENTING POKER SERIES II ANNOUNCES DUSK TILL DAWN LEG

13 October 2013, Nottingham:

GENTING POKER IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE the addition of a new land based location to the current popular Genting Poker Series (Series II), at Europe’s premier poker room, Dusk Till Dawn, in January 2014.

Dusk Till Dawn's online poker product is provided under license from Genting Poker in a three-year deal that was agreed between the two companies in March 2013.

Since the agreement the two parties have been working closely together to drive forward poker in the UK and today’s announcement and inclusion of a land based leg at Dusk Till Dawn within the GPS II schedule is the natural progression and replaces the online leg originally penciled in for this November.

Dusk Till Dawn is a popular Midlands venue based in Nottingham and the clubs 50 table capacity allows them to generate large fields and record breaking prize pools. As a GPS leg, the DTD event will carry Genting’s £100,000 tournament guarantee and a full live and online satellite schedule across Dusk Till Dawn and Genting will be announced very shortly. The dates for the new leg are:

8th Jan Wednesday Online Day 1A
9th Jan Thursday Live Day 1B
10th Jan Friday Live Day 1C
11th Jan Saturday Day 2
12th Jan Sunday Day 3

The Genting Poker Series generated more than £1.3million in prize funds in its inaugural season and the addition of the leg at Dusk Till Dawn looks set to drive Series II past that figure again.

Kevin Proctor, Poker Manager at Genting UK is excited about the continued success of The Series; “We are delighted that Dusk till Dawn will be hosting a leg of the Genting Poker Series. The event continues to go from strength to strength, players love the deep stack format. 60 minute levels and a starting stack of 25,000 chips mean every player enjoys plenty of action, no matter what the standard of their game.
With such big money available in the main event it is no surprise that the side games are pretty strong too and we make sure that the duration of each leg has games of every value to suit every type of player. What makes the GPS special is the mix of recreational players and professionals it attracts and online qualifiers have a good record of scalping the big names in the GPS.”

DTD Owner, Rob Yong believes bringing the GPS to Dusk Till Dawn could be one of their biggest events yet, "The GPS series is all about grass roots poker, with many opportunities for the man in the street to qualify and win life changing money, so I am very happy to be hosting a leg at DTD. I hope this is just the start of more collaborative projects between Genting and DTD as we both channel our energy in to promoting poker in the UK and attracting more new players into this wonderful game."

Qualification satellites will be running regularly throughout Genting Casinos across the country and Dusk Till Dawn, with online satellites available at gentingpoker.com, dusktilldawnpoker.com.

The streaming coverage on Genting Poker TV has been sensational this year for online poker fans watching at gentingpoker.com. Further information on the GPS and all the latest news can be found online at gentingpoker.com

I presume the buyin will stay the same £440 . ;p

Great news

Yes Frankie, all details here http://www.gentingpoker.com/genting-poker-series/leg-8-2013-dusk-till-dawn/

This GPS leg will REPLACE our £300 January Deepstack

Interested in opinion on how many runners people think this event will get as we are providing the dealers.

Cheers Simon

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the biggest leg of the tour.

Thanks Simon . I predicted around 800+  players will attend this comp. Always nice to have a suitable comp at my doorstep . Looking forward to January 2014 now ;p

Looks like I'll be playing my first GPS in new year   :)

Me too! Perfect buy in and venue and more importantly no big horse race that weekend. Nice.

The racing workers have been cursed these last 2 years with really good reasonable buy in events all on MASSIVE racing Saturdays. Let's hope 2014 is different and we can grab a bit of the fun of a deep run or a boozy weekend with pals.

Or both.

Great news

Am sure this will be a great tournament.

Have a couple of questions.

1. It says players can have one entry and one re-entry per day one. Does that mean in theory I can fire 6 bullets, two online and two on each of the day one's at the club?
2. The buy in is £400+40, but for 1a online it says £430+10. How does that work?

Cheers!

Hi

1. technically you could fire 6 bullets if you were so unlucky. entry + Re entry per day.
2. we have to charge a portion of the reg fee to cover online costs this is the reason its split to £430 + £10 essentially still cost to the player is £440 total

Hope that helps, We will be launching a joint sat programme in the coming weeks

Loving all these online day 1's. Makes everything worth playing for this southerner.

So If I'm playing the online day one - £430 of my buy in goes into the total overall prizepool and £10 is rake? Have I understood that right? If I have then fair enough!

EDITED BECAUSE I CAN'T USE THE QUOTES!

My understanding is that £400 to prize pool £30 to DTD rake £10 to ipoker rake.

We now have a 12 month club calender http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/club-calander.php showing the 2 x GPS events at DTD in 2014. There is a dedicated GPS events page that will be kept updated http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/gps-nottingham/2379

Cheers ACES

Are any more Monte Carlo's planned?

Also, would be nice to have a small rake discount for the online day 1s of the various tournaments.

Would definitely encourage me to get an account and play them.

theres the sky 500k its the same thing right?

Hi

We have 3 x £1000 events I'm next 6 months - 2 pokerstars and 1 sky. Not possible to do our own Monte Carlo until after these events which take priorty. We hope to schedule a Monte Carlo into the 2014 calendar.

The costs of depositing the day 1 buy in ( net teller, u cash etc ) can be 5% - 10% plus a fixed % to ipoker - this means that online day 1's are not actually a cheaper option as some players think. Players are also paying reg fees for the whole of the tourney - not just the day 1. Online day 1's are available to players to help lessen the pain of regular travel and hotel costs - financially of course any venue would rather players come to the club and spend money there.

Your ongoing support is appreciated.

Cheers ACES

If i don't Sat into PCA got something to play now.

Qualification is underway on DTD

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/satellites/GPS-Nottingham-sattree.png)

January at dtd looks a busy calender! some great torneys coming up!!

(https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1488085_10200153228153142_1306682113_n.jpg)

Grabbed a seat last night ... wiii.. will be my first GPS! Glad that this will at DTD, only venue every played!!!

What happens if you have 2* 440 seats for GPS Notts and you play the first seat online and you are through? Can the 2nd seat be used for something else?

I think seats are valid for a year ?  Once you have one the second can be assigned to another player  or used on other legs ?

yes Tony! the tokens seems to be valid for a year! great!

Hi Guys

The 10pm satellites are now £20 Rebuys. Full tree shown below :)

If you've already won a seat you can try for another for a re-entry or save for the next GPS.

Thanks Nicola

Following on from Rob's tour, the following live satellites will be coming to a Genting cardroom near you

Reading bits via Facebook & apparently attempting to get 1000 runners, that would be some achievement!

that would be a nice prize pot ,think am playing this one

I think this will be the biggest gps ever jacking around 1100 runners

I be there

Vino it's the best touniment outside of dtd so glad it going to dtd

See you there

As we are all seeing, there is a big push to get 1000+ runners at the GPS at DTD in just over a week. The Online leg is next Wednesday night, and can be played on Genting or DTD

To qualify, 4x £440 seats GTD on DTD nightly in £50 satellites

What time should the live day ones finish please

12.30am

http://www.gentingpoker.com/pages/gps-event-structure/

anyone know if there is late reg in this 50 satty tonight?

Yes late reg is till level 10 12min levels

also on is the £100 for a £1k seat into the UKPC in February

thank you nicholas, my internet is saying 35 minutes to download software! slooooow.

ouch

don't think i could have run any worse in that sat. the mind boggles!
joke!

I am presuming it is strictly a re-entry and players have to be busted (i.e. cant use a re-entry as an add-on?)

Yes. It is Same day and next day re-entry

"Players can re-enter once on the sameday and or/re-enter to all future Day 1's, 'stack surrender' is available if you have 25,000 chips or less"

Look out for news later

side events have all been guaranteed including a £50,000 £150 Deepstack and online mega sats commence this Wednesday - 10 seats GTD.

Rob is also doing a blog on his travels and GPS Nottingham

Hi Guys

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

The first of many awesome events coming to DTD in 2014 is GPS Nottingham and we've added 70 seats GTD online from tomorrow night!!
From Wed 1st Jan - £50 MEGA SAT - 10 x £440 seats GTD
Don't drink too much tonight ;)

Enjoy Nicola :)

is there a min cash gtd on this came

No.

Hmmmm I think he means guarantee.. Never heard tht q before!

Looking at the Scotland leg it was double the buy in + fee so £840 Min cash, i suspect it will be the same at DTD

http://www.gentingpoker.com/genting-poker-series/leg-6-2013-edinburgh/

thanks

Happy new year everyone

To kick off the new year we have now guaranteed the £50 8pm sats at 10 x £440 GPS Nottingham tokens

Good luck to all

Not sure if people have realised, but ALL the side events of GPS Nottingham next week are Guaranteed

The full schedule with events, start times, chips and clocks is on

Rob Yong's latest blog gives all the latest GPS Nottingham information and forecasts and gives a review of his tour across Genting venues

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=451

Great effort Rob  ;applause; ...good to see Genting and DTD working together.

Would be great to hit the 1000 mark.

Hopefully the online leg will get a good few, ......so good to have this for those who can't travel midweek.

Pretty impressive effort this and interesting blog - no doubt about it being an effective customer loyalty thing. Hats off.

Big fan of the scheduling going through sunday! Always a bit strange with the lack of a rail at the end of the big tour events.

Great blog rob

In addition to the 10 seats GTD online each night from now until the event, remember the live satellites which will be good for those in the relevant areas. Tonight they kick off in Blackpool and Luton, as below

(http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i342/rafwhite/DTDGPSlivesatellites_zps14539ad9.jpg)

GPS Nottingham Article from UK Poker News

http://uk.pokernews.com/news/2014/01/2014-gps-nottingham-300k-prize-pool-expecte-12661.htm

The online satellites with 10 seats gtd seem to not be there anymore?  Tonight's £50 satellite is only 2 seats gtd.

thanks, I hadn't realised it is 2 seats only Fri-Sun nights (presumably as a lot of people are playing live)

Yes its 2 seats at the weekend however it actually made 6 last night so a real good result for all.

Sunday night its back to 10 seats

Good luck

Will GPS prizes be paid in cash at the DTD desk as per normal DTD process?

Hey

Payout will be standard cash desk payout :)

Thanks Nic

Hi Guys

Don't forget we have Live sats across Genting cardrooms including tomorrow (Sunday 5th) at Newcastle, Stoke and Sheffield so if you're local then please show your support and win your seat for cheap :)

We also have Live MEGA SATS at DTD next week (Wed & Thurs) with 20 x £440 seats GTD in each.

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/dtd-gps-live-sats.png)

Like Rob says we expect an estimated prizepool of £300,000 - £400,000 :)

Thanks Nicola

More press comment on next week's event

http://www.bluffeurope.com/poker-news/en/GPS-Nottingham-Prize-Pool-Set-to-Top-300-000_13924.aspx

It's TEN seats Guaranteed again Online on DTD and Genting from 8pm tonight


Luton Genting has made 26 seats for this in its weekend event and another satellite, think its fair to say that interest around the Genting venues is high

Hi Guys

Plans are in place to seat every single player who turns up for the first ever GPS held at Dusk Till Dawn :)

If you would like to pre-register for your seat then please do this via the poker client (DTD or Genting) simply deposit £440 and select the day 1 of your choice (please note both live day 1's state the start time as 1 hour earlier to allow us 1 hour to retrieve the names - then a late reg tank will appear)

If you have won a token please also register this in advance - your chips won't go in play until you arrive.

If you do register online please visit cash desk when you arrive so we know when to put your chips in play :)

You can download the software here if you haven't already - http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/download-ipoker.php

Why not have a go at winning your seat for £50 tonight online......

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/promotions/484.png)

Thanks Nicola

Hi Guys

We made 14 seats online at 8pm PLUS another 2 seats at least at 10pm :) :)

This means good things are in store for this week!!

Thanks for the support guys :)

Good Luck those in tonight's sat

are the live satellites exclusively for GPS DTD LEGS only. and are they transferable. thanks in advance

Hi, the live satellites are exclusively for this week's DTD GPS leg.

Hi Guys

The online Day 1 on Wednesday is looking popular - usually players are put off as not as many runners as live but this online day 1 will definitely be worth a shot for the travelling (and even local) players!

I expect 100-120 runners as we have ALOT of £440 GPS tokens in the system, many Live Genting satellite & bounty winners have chosen to play the online Day 1 and we already have 14 pre-registered with 1 day to go Smiley

We have a Wednesday 6pm £20 Rebuy LAST CHANCER for the Online Day 1 tomorrow with 10 x £440 GPS tokens GTD - you can use these tokens for the online Day 1 or Live Day 1's. Satellite will finish in time for the online Day 1 so perfect for flicking straight in Smiley

The online Day 1 has a 24 min clock, plays 10 levels with a 10 min break after level 10 for us to take chip counts and players then carry these chips through to Day 2 Smiley

Any questions please ask.

Thanks Nicola

This is going to be the biggest GPS leg by a mile!!!

Nicola

I note that the site states that the online satellites are for the GPS Genting event exclusively - if I win two would one be forfeited if i made two of teh live event on teh first bullet?

Cheers

Hi

No you will not forfeit the second token if you make day 2.

You can use it for a future DTD event ie GPS in September or trade up to another event :)

Thanks Nic

I know it's prob been posted before but I'm obv blind lol.....how many breaks are ther on day 1 and how long are they please just wanna work out what time it will finish at...thanks

1 hour levels
15-20 mins every 2 levels breaks (depending on numbers)
planned 60 min dinner break to be after level 6
10 levels played day 1
finish 1am day 1

Cheers rob...every 2 levels is quite a lot IMO would be good if  15 mins after level 3 if there's a dinner break after 6 then maybe play till finish sounds good to me....this is gonna be huge wd and gl

Genting set the rules for this GPS - but seriously, if we did a break every 3 hours for our Monte Carlo and then played 4 hours after dinner break - we would get lynched by the players. I don't know any tourney in the world that does/has done  what your recommending (that doesn't mean you're wrong though)? Are you really sure about this?

Hate breaks cos all ppl do is talk about poker lol...bad beat this and that hHAhah....when uve just been playin it u dont wanna talk it aswell.....

Online Day 1 tonight, with ten seat GTD satellites beforehand

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/t1/1486597_567043856713589_2076414288_n.jpg)

At the club, the first of the 25 seat Mega Sats

(http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/images/promotions/519.jpg)

If I play online tonight and also play a satty. If I make day 2 and win a seat (unlikely I know) does that token just get used for a future leg?

"No you will not forfeit the second token if you make day 2.

You can use it for a future DTD event ie GPS in September or trade up to another event"

Hi Guys

Wow already 28 players registered for the online Day 1 (at 11am with 9 hours to go).... how many do you think we'll get for the online Day 1 tonight??

My prediction of 100-120 is looking good ;)

If you play the online day 1 you can play the 8pm online Mega Sat at the same time to win a re-entry if you're not successful in online day 1 OR save the £440 for another event if you make day 2.

6pm £20 Rebuy could be great value so if you can get online early I highly recommend it :)

Good Luck Nicola

Hi Nicola, Guess I read somewhere in this thread about Stack surrender! Is there any criteria regarding the minimum no of chips for doing that? say, you have 40k at the end of level 10 playing online, do you still get the option of surrendering the stack and reenter the next day 1?

"Stack Surrender - If when bagging up, you have starting stack or less you can choose to surrender your chips and re-enter the next day."

TY tighty!

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1513295_567420503342591_32470912_n.jpg)

that different to what it say on gps website it says only 45min for dinner

Hi Guys

The £20 Rebuy is just about to start online with 15 runners and 10 x £440 seats GTD - this could be incredible value :)

Thanks Nicola

Looooooooooooll

There are over 100 in 1a Online with Late Reg open

Rob has put the following message out

"GPS IMPORTANT;

Dear poker friends if you/anyone are planning to play GP Series live at DTD on Friday Day 1c;

If you "can" play Thursday Day 1b (without inconveniencing yourself of course) that would be GREAT/MASSIVE FAVOUR and go towards helping us have smooth spacious day at the Club on Friday Day 1c .

Thursday will be wonderfully peaceful, tranquil and relaxing where as Friday will be manic - if you like manic them fair enuf!

We can seat 500 each day and our staff and dealers are prepared for a long shift.

Good luck to everyone who plays the Online Day 1a tonight from the comfort of their armchair Let's hope we have an amazing event with all the hard work put in by everyone - especially the Genting Card Room staff around all the different venues who have ensured we will be getting a field from all corners of the UK

 Cheers Rob"

If you register online is your stack in play from the start or does it go in play when u arrive?

Hi,
When you arrive.
Thanks
Raf

Where can we see how much we finished with in online day 1.

I think u should know how much chips you finished when click paused at levels 10 sir !

In the interests of players' comfort and experience there will only be one Day 1 for the £150 Deepstack GPS Side event i.e. There will NOT be a Day 1a on Friday at 8pm as originally scheduled due to higher than expected numbers for Friday Day 1c of the GPS Main Event.

The GPS Side Event £150 Deepstack Day 1 has a new start time 5pm Saturday but guarantee remains at £50,000

The £100 Turbo will not take place as it has been replaced with the time change to 5pm for the £150 Deepstack.  will publish an amended schedule tomorrow.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your support.  

Cheers

ACES
 

Played online day 1 instead of originally planned Friday. Got through day 1 with 115k which will be 70 bigs at the start of day2. Lets go!!!!

Well done vin .... Hopefully see you Saturday (-;

Is there an 8pm live satellite at DTD tonight?

Yes there is

cheers

Anyone know chip counts, numbers though and average stack from the online leg?

What is the latest time you can reg online for day 1c? Also can you reg over the phone?

TIA

It's midday, one hour before tourney starts live, to allow for admin by DTD staff.

Cheers Craig, are you there tomorrow?

Yes Sir, providing that little bit of value!

Hopefully see you there.

just bagged a seat online! does anyone know if its usual rules for registering online and your chips only becoming active when you attend at the club.  ie 2 hrs after start of torney - will you have your full stack to play with?
or is there other rules as its a GPS torney??
