I am going to play two events at the WPT Nottingham, which are:

£6,000 High Roller, Monday 17th November, 2 day event (7% reg fee)
£2,000 No limit six-max, Friday 21st Novmeber, Day 1B TURBO, 2 day event (10% reg fee)

There is a caveat to this- I am actually playing both events for free. I won the $15k leaderboard package at the Sky Poker six max UKPC week in August, and am able to use it for $15k worth of buy-ins at the club, which will cover these two events. With Blackpool, Amsterdam and GUKPT London other events in November, it seems a good idea to make some money back on these hefty ones.

I see no problem with selling for events where I will not pay the buy in, as there is definitely no way at all it will cause me to play differently. However, if people disagree and think it is wrong to make a profit before an event I have effectively won a freeroll satellite into, do let me know straight away, as it is not a situation I have been in before.

I am selling at 1.0 because the value in the high roller is of course sparse, and with no previous record of how these kind of events are, I would recommend it more of a punter's buy for a sweat.

However, I came 3rd  of 60 runners in the previous (£3k) high roller at DTD during the Sky Poker six max week in a stacked field. I would anticipate that this high roller field will be easier than the £3k six max, as there are plenty of satellites, and the core of really strong online players who played the previous one may be priced out to some extent by the higher buy in.

I am going to play the new-fangled turbo day 1B of the £2k six max event, which follows directly onto "day 2" the same day. This initial turbo structure is of course another reason for the face price of 1.0.

I am looking to sell up to 20% of the package for both events. The prices are:

0.5%- £40
1%- £80
2%- £160
5%- £400
10%-£800

Payment by bank or Skrill (i.e. if it's OK, not Stars)

2 plz

I will just check whether it is avaliable from the list above

After exhaustive checking, it turns out 20% of the 20% is avaliable, so yes 2% booked, for £160

Will send bank/Stars/Skrill details, but no rush

sending now

Going to have to be limited day one report sorry, as got home just in time to fit in the magic eight hours sleep before the day two turnaround. A lucky and really good day, I bagged up 193,000 from 50k starting stack.

47 runners including re entries so far, so it should just make the £300k guarantee.

n1, 20% pls ;)

165k middle of second level of the day, lost an 88k jj to ak of Toby. 19 left, 6 in the money

230k mid level 12, 15 left, six in the money, min cash 18k, 100k up top

Gogogo stu!

290k ten left, 9 handed final table, six itm

GL stu tower enterprises ftw!!!!! 

VBOL Stu.

Still nine left, up to 420k making dodgy straight vs price, still 3k 6k

Wow, insane two pots. Folded jacks twice. Both right, but both would have won humongous pots both time. First hand of the ft, it's against ak and qq. Queens says he  would have folded if id shoved, would have won 750k pot (2.5m in play). Second is against qq and kk. Turn jack. Would have won 800k pot and knocked two out

Stu got the lot

Really good meeting you properly and playing with you dude. How did it finish? Hoping for good news!

Dubai commented the same as you at the sky hr final table in August. It's much better craic without the whole three minute tank every hand, headphones and sunglasses on etc etc, there's something really good banter about the high rollers at dtd.

Final update:

I finished third for £43,000. We had a long three way battle with me,  pleno and bryn Kenney. I had started with 1.1m of the 2.5m in play, chipped down to 640k and got it in with aq, slightly disappointed to see bryn's equally strong jacks. The flop was a rather empathic  Jd 9s 9c, and so I left pleno and bryn in the heads up battle and will look forward to hearing the news.

Thanks very much for messages. Gutted after bustout, but happy and so much fun overall. Back to important Tower Enterprise office work from 9am tomorrow

grats stu!

you too buddy, some fun hands :)

One way & another, Jacks were not very kind to you in this, Stu?

Very well done.

congrats mate. looked like a tough field, creme de la creme.

Cracking result never have a piece of you but love reading your updates

Glad to hear it, got some large antiques shipments arriving that need calibrating.

Wp stu, you're the best <3

Great stuff ,Stu!

Well played!

Justice for not selling out! Enjoy the extra 18%

Congrats!!!

Thanks very much guys, alot of people really funny to play with both as people and players.

£2k 6-max turbo day 1B starts at 12pm Friday, will update on here.

Very nice result Stu, congrats.

Made day two of the £2k six max side event with 60k chips, but now down to 30k having raise folded twice and three bet Wilkie with at, and folded to jack salter's cold shove

Just to wrap this up for the sake of completeness (as I was communicating with the one staker at DTD on the day!)

No good in the £2k six max, finished 19th. Got up to 70k from 30k start, before Ram Vaswani raised UTG five handed to 9k at 2k-4k, small blind called, and I squeezed all in with  9h 9d, only for Ram to have  Th Td.

Loved the idea of a turbo day 1B immediately leading on to a slower day two, I hope we see more tournaments offer that option
