FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS AT THE PARTYPOKER GRAND PRIX

partypoker and Dusk Till Dawn will officially launch their new partnership with the first partypoker branded Grand Prix Million at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, running from Friday 15th May to Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 2015.

The Grand Prix is guaranteed at a record-breaking prize pool of $1 million, including 100 WPT 500 seats. With the buy-in set at $100+$20, partypoker and Dusk Till Dawn are targeting 10,000 entries, more than double the previous Grand Prix record of 4,932 set in September 2013.

Online satellites will commence on Monday 16th February at partypoker.com via the Live Events tab. Entries start at just one cent with five Grand Prix seats guaranteed at 7pm and 9pm every night.

The first 1,000 seats won in these online satellites will receive a $25,000 Golden Chip and any player who reaches the final table using their Golden Chip seat will receive a $25,000 cash bonus in addition to their tournament winnings.

When news broke of the partypoker Dusk Till Dawn agreement, Dusk Till Dawn owner, Rob Yong, blogged that this partnership would kick off with the largest ever Grand Prix at Dusk Till Dawn.

“This is a huge target but I believe it is possible. I remember the first ever Grand Prix in September 2010 with a £50 buy-in and a £40,000 GTE, requiring 800 entrants, we broke the UK record and it was one of our proudest moments, so five years later, to achieve 10,000 entries and a $1M prizepool would be simply amazing.’

partypoker’s Grace McMillan is thrilled to be part of such an ambitious project:

“We are all very excited about this Grand Prix Million. partypoker want to make this experience as much fun as possible for the players, it will be great to meet so many of our online qualifiers face to face. What a story it would be if the winner qualified for one cent and also won a $25,000 Golden Chip bonus.”

Players will be able to choose between playing their Day 1’s on partypoker from the comfort of their PC’s, tablets or mobiles or for those that prefer the live experience Dusk Till Dawn will be providing as many tables as possible for Live Day 1’s using extra capacity in the marquee. Players making it through these Day 1’s will meet for Day 2 live at Dusk Till Dawn on Sunday 24th May, playing down to an eventual winner on Monday 25th May. A detailed schedule will be released by Dusk Till Dawn Club Director, Simon Trumper, in the coming weeks.

The evening DTD club players have asked for a 5pm sat on partypoker for the Grand Prix

This will now be introduced as follows

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-H2Y2RIYAA0K5G.jpg)

On a table full of russians and belarussians......like these guys are gonna play the live event.

This can't be right can it?

Am I out of order saying this, should be DTD members only.

(And no, I haven't donked out to one of them)

Used to enjoy having a good chance at qualifying for these events, but now it's full of people who are using it as a mess about who have no intention of playing the event.

Rant over.

the 5pm Grand Prix Million Golden Chip SAT is now in the partypoker lobby with appropriate pennyrolls.

@DTD_GrandPrix

Sat's increased 15 seats nightly 5pm 7pm 9pm

partypoker Grand Prix Million-

1st 1000 winners get $25k golden chips

Question - if you win 5 seats and only use. Say 3 getting to day 2 have I read that the other 2 seats are forfeited ??
They cannot be used for other tournies ??

the page for the PP Grand Prix Mllion satyas the following

"There will be no refund for unused Tokens as players have the option to re-enter for a higher stack without forfeiting previous stacks"

under concept on http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468

in essence, use them all, play as many day ones at least as you have tokens for and try to get the highest stack possible

Ok thanks previously you have had to forfeit your stack but now you take the biggest stack through to day 2 if you play multiple day 1 s ?? Is my understanding of it ??

Yes thats right. it changed for the last GP i think (may be wrong but think it was the last one)

Ok thanks for clearing that up

Spammed on another forum - think that's right ?

http://www.krackedkings.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=83397

Does anyone know if DTD are doing/will be doing any promo's for the Grand Prix sats, (like last year with the UKIPT seat offer)?  I assume they probably will be at some point to help to hit the 10,000 entry target.

From a personal point of view, I took part in that offer and found myself playing religiously pretty much every night for a few weeks.  Although I don't intend to do it to that level again, it would be great to have some sort of motivation and competition to accumulate seats this early.

My preference for the Grand Prix is merge stacks for Day 2.  They used to do this a couple of years ago, and it was great for people with multiple seats, but probably not for those with only one bullet.  I think this was discussed some time ago on the forum and most disagreed with the merge stacks.  My opinion is that it would give more motivation to win more seats via the sats knowing that they're not going to waste if you make Day 2 with a big stack early on.  I know you can play again and take highest through, but in my opinion this changes the way the game is played, not just for the individual but for everyone on a table with somebody who has made Day 2.

Anyway, I think the Grand Prix has been great over the last few years and look forward to playing again. I think it's amazing that DTD have guaranteed 10,000 entries and hope that they smash the target.

Cheers,

Will

I'm aware of the Golden Chips but they don't really give you motivation to accumulate seats, ie. although it is nice to have a Golden Chip on Day 2, you have to final table the tournament for it to be worth anything.  Personally, it doesn't give me motivation to accumulate seats, whereas last year there were a number of people chasing the UKIPT seats, all the results of which were updated daily on the website and they became very competitive (in a friendly way of course!).

What I'm asking is whether they are doing something like this again as I enjoyed the banter when playing, and I liked the idea of having something specific to aim for (ie 10 seats).  I would personally play a lot more sats now, rather than leaving it until nearer to the event if there were a promotion of this sort again.  I think it increased numbers in the sats too.

how are people getting on gathering golden chips? any tales to tell?

I have played a few
waiting to see how many day 1,s there will be
to be honest i have not really bother with the 1p rolls
its interesting to play with players who have chosen same or similar alias to ipoker ones
i don't think anyone has worked out what alias i am using yet  ;scarymoment;

Why have we had to go back to online buyin and payouts?  If I remember this used to get a lot of complaints?  Love everything about this GP, except that.  Would be better to have the cash on the day buyin option, and payout ofc.

Possibly not been decided yet but I wondered if you have a starting time for Day 2?

The reason for asking is that train travel is around 4hrs for me and I would like to work out if its doable without having to book a hotel for the Saturday night.

anybody playing the freerolls?

how are we getting on with the golden chips? how many have you won?

What is the best way to go about getting screwed the least on exchange rates?

Should we be opening a ££ or $$ account?

i think the advice was £

Any idea how many seats have been won in the sats so far?

Very adventurous going for 10k runners but vbol to them. Will be following closely to see how it goes.....

If golden chips were still being won on FB  forum last week
cant be more than 1k  so far !

in response to various questions about the Grand Prix Million and how it works and tickets won

- The process of registering for this tournament will become a lot clearer when the tournaments are up in the lobby. If you have won a $120 Grand Prix Ticket you will see it in your partypoker accounts and also the DTD leaderboard will show you how many golden chip tickets you have, be advised it can take a couple of days to be updated:

http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#golden

- There will be 11 Day 1 Online tournaments at partypoker and 9 Day 1 Live tournaments at Dusk Till Dawn C. You can use your $120 ticket to either play Live at the DTD club or Online at partypoker. The tournaments will be in the lobby, you click to register as normal and it will ask you if you would like to pay cash or use one of your tickets.

- You can play as many day 1's as you like and on the 23rd May Day 2 will start, if you have managed to get through to Day 2 with more than 1 stack from your multiple Day 1 attempts, you pick your largest stack and play with that.

- This is a $1million GTD tournament and Day 2 will be played at Dusk Till Dawn. It will need 10,000 entries played across the Day 1's to hit the GTE

- 4 x pennyrolls still happening every night in Michelle Orpe's facebook group at 4pm,6pm,8pm,10pm till 10th May with a ticket going to each winner

- 14 x Tickets to be won in the facebook Superleague which happens every Tuesday and Sunday night at 7pm, top 8 league finishes get a ticket and each torunament has a pre-announcedbounty and have a ticket is on that head as well.

interested to know who is planning to play when and with how many golden chips?.............................

i will have a crack Sunday...got 3 entries via 1p rolls and league table (a few 2nds and 3rds so it could have been soooo much better)

Just noticed the online day one on Sunday has one level missing (level 2) compared to the DTD website...might be worth checking

...18 levels on day one...  ;D   

good luck DTD

Trying to register for the dtd fb forum freerolls, the mini and micro.  Does anyone know the PASSWORD?? thanks  the previous password.... michelleo does not work!?

ask on the facebook group and/or nicola's community please, it can't be given out on here

thanks rich, I have just requested a facebook friends request with Nicola on her dtd community page.  have managed to find the password for todays freerolls! :)

good and good luck

And you can only buy in on line, no direct buy in at club

TY

im glad there is going to be buy ins into the grand prix, because I really cant do anything on party poker, not even getting close to winning anything!!! lol

No fella, you can't buy in any DTD has to be done on PP I believe

If one were to finish day 1 online twice, once with 100bb, once with 1bb, you'd be entitled to play both live day2s, correct?  For the day2's will you have 100bb for both of them?

No, you'd have 100BB for one and 1BB for the other.

5 golden chips to throw at it.....and might throw a few extra bullets depending how it goes  :)

In for the first online on Sunday.

Going to be fantastic!

assuming the money bubble will burst before day 3...i'm curious as to how it works with two day 2's???

$1,000,000 GTD Grand Prix MILLION starts today 7pm with the first Online Day 1

$100 buyin

Late reg to 9.10pm

50,000 chips, 12 minute clock playing 18 levels

(https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11203092_818533814897924_1859100597329659400_n.jpg?oh=13d2e654d8b3c2956af2700cfcad7bb8&oe=55D6481B)

Grand Prix online day 1 started with 204 entries.

Online day 1 ended on 347 runners

very good for a first night.

if you played the first Day 1 last night for the $1Million GTD Grand Prix

Just to confirm the procedure from here:

Players who completed the 18 levels of play will take their stack through to Day 2. We are finalising the chip counts with partypoker today our confirmation emails will be sent to players that made it through tomorrow. Players will be given the chance to choose their Day 2

NOW AVAILABLE: $5 Grand Prix $120 Ticket Sats. Find them in the @partypoker lobby.

the Grand Prix Mllion trophy arrived today

So if u get to day 2 u get the min cash then

Also and chip stacks info from last night please

I know you have to buy through PP to attend a live day 1 at dtd - if you want/need to renter can you then buy in at dtd with cash or do you have to renter via your pp account,

cheers

I think Day 3 = Min cash. Has to be that way because you're allowed to play both Day2s but obviously you can't have two stacks on Day 3 and merging seems to have been consigned to history (good job too IMO) so the stack you abandon has to have a value.

Pretty sure this is all explained on the DTD website. Know I read it somewhere.

"yes will be taking cash re-entries at DTD"

347 entries and 44 through  I will pass you chip counts when i get them

from DTD

"yes you make the money on day 2 (Simon will announce the payout details before each day 2 based on the number he predicts for the second day 2 (the last day 1's are capped so we know the max we can get)"

.              if you. Make both day 2 can you therefore cash twice ?

"yes, they will get 2 cashes and the lower stack will be removed from day 3 and they continue with the highest.

Obviously they can't re-enter day 3 with the second stack (iv seen this question already)

Day2 they cant re-enter the same one but obviously can the next day"

This is from Nicola

Asked this question before that i thank Tightend for answering - that we can buy in online for live day 1 and then pay in cash at dtd for a renter -

New question

Can we then pay cash to enter the second day 1 if we get knocked out after the 1st one - or is this classed as a new entry and we have to do it via PP account -

In other words do i need to take the laptop

Cheers

the club will have a lot of terminals set up with staff on hand to help

so no need to take a laptop, you can use the login page they will priovide

thanks for info

Tonight, the next Online day one of the partypoker Grand Prix Mllion

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/promotions/995.jpg)

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468

7pm, late reg to 9.10pm playing 18 levels

483 last night up from 347 the week before, another excellent turnout

DTD will smash the guarantee just from the online entries I recon.................any blondes make day 2 yet???

Got through last night, bit gutted to lose 200k near the end (under pair hit a set) but still got 300k

Only about 12% made day two - still got one 1p won seat to play with next week aswell - always fun when you have already made day two


One thing I know from previous grand prixs is that the blinds increase fairly quickly and it soon becomes lots of shoving so any size stack has a chance ;-)

FAQ

 1- The FULL schedule (including Day 2 dates) can be found here:
http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#updates

2- Buy-in is online only through the partypoker client. Instructions can be found here:
http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#updates

3- If you have won a satellite ticket or an included ticket we have 'Satellite Winner Instructions' here:
http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#updates

4- The Golden Chip Leaderboard contains all Golden Chippers and you can see if you have one here:
http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#updates

5- Blind levels for Day 2 start at 5,000/10,000/1,000

6- Simon Trumper is in complete control of the payout and we expect paid places into Day 2. He has done this before with the ISPT and will be able to work it out.

7- Online Day 1 Chip Counts can take up to 24 hours to process. We aim to notify all players that have made Day 2 as soon as we can. We will also list Online Day 1 Chip Counts here: http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#updates

8- ONLINE players will be given an option via email to choose their Day 2.

9- LIVE players will be requested to choose their Day 2 as they bag up at the end of the Day 1.

10- You CAN play both Day 2's if you are fortunate to make Day 3 twice you will take your highest stack through. Your lowest will be paid the relevant paid position at the end of the Day 2 and eliminated.

11- All payouts will be made to players partypoker accounts.

well done smurf for getting into day 2 and with a decent stack....... how many levels did you play in the  day 1 event??
think your already in the money :) as all day 2's get a cash!?!?

It's 18 levels which stops at 6k 12k but it's rolled back for day to two levels - I think with an average 12-13% getting through and some of them being doubles it won't be far off 10% making day two so I would think it will be very close to the money like you say - the problem if they say 'yes day two is In the money ' then the last day one is played after the first day two - there would be lots of tiny stacks limping through just to cash - so expect there to be a few on day two not paid

Still playing te penny rolls though to try and grab some more entries

all the chip counts from Monday's day one have been added in the tab here

overnight Rob has blogged on the partypoker Grand Prix million, rewinding to the first Grand Prix in Oct 2010, sharing his forecasts for this Grand Prix and answering a load of FAQ's

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=513

What the cap on the last days ones please

"The caps are on the tanks online.

Pretty much 300 for all "

Hi pal can u confirm what day one's that us please thanks in advance

all of them live

then there will be late reg tanks at the club once the online tanks are full

So all live days ones are capped at 300 online reg

Is it true if I take a stack thru to Saturday I can play again for 120$ and have another stack for Sunday??

from the concept write up on

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#concept

does this help?

"Players who make Day 2 more than once can play both Day 2's and take Highest Day 2 stack through to Day 3
Players who bust Day 2A can play any remaining Day 1's to make Day 2B"


edit, easier answer from nicola and glenn: Yes!

Rob had updated his blog overnight for numbers so far inclouding friday

Hi - apologies if this has already been covered and or a stupid question but...given I cant play (at DTD) on Sunday 24th - if I q/f through a day 1 then can I choose to play day 2 A or is this worked out in a different way? I get fact day 2 B (which I cant make) offers a further chance if you've qualified for multiple day 1s (which I wont now have) but my question just concerns choice of day 2 's

Cheers!

please read the FAQs on http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=513#

it says

"DTD will contact you when you make Day 2 to choose Day 2A Saturday or Day 2B Sunday"

so expect an email this week, and you'll get to choose saturday 2a

Any online results from over the weekend please

the page hasn't been updated yet

http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/grand-prix-million/2468#leaderboard

If you are playing our Online Day 1's and have made Day 2 you can choose which one you want to play here:

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/pick-your-day-two.php

 If you live local or can make it please play Day 2A on Saturday. We'd really appreciate it.

We'll be sending confirmation emails to weekend players later today and then daily for those that get through during week.

Grand Prix MILLION Online Day 1 is running NOW, LR til 9.10pm currently 101 entries so over 5Million chips in play

Downloaded PP and made a deposit – I just don’t feel the love from the software – that said I think that what Rob & the DTD team do is great – and though it is a trek I love going to Nottingham – always meet several interesting and genuine characters.

Spent some time this evening reading up on how DTD was started and read some of Rob’s past interviews – seems a genuine decent bloke who has certainly put his heart and soul – as well as large sums of money into the game.

Also like his ethos of putting his staff and associates and clients first – this is my philosophy in life

So for that reason alone and even though as I said not a PP fan – I shall be going up and having at least several bullets even though I have to buy in via PP.

Understand the reason behind it though

GL to everybody that has entered and I really hope that there is a strong rally and DTD make the 10,000

the key messages

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFdMLk6WoAA5cL4.jpg)

Hi,

Sorry if that was covered somewhere but it appears this Grand Prix gets more messy by a day. Can somebody answer 3 questions please?

1. Payout. Is this 'including 150 x £550 seats' new way of saying 'we will cover guarantee other ways even if we miss?  So question is: What is actual GTD in CASH?

2. What is prediction about day 3? I mean how many people do you expect to still be in and where about in terms of money?

3. Do you still necessary need PP account or can simple buy inn/ potential payout be made through the cash desk? If former do DTD guarantee that their won't be any additional costs related to withdrawals and/or unreasonable length of withdrawals processing?

Thanks

1  150 x WPT500 seats are included as part of the guarantee, yes. thats £75,000 worth of the $1m guarantee

2  The Payout will be announced before Saturday Day 2A, paying at least 10% of unique daily entries with a min cash of $300, 1st prize will be at least $100,000. no idea how many will be in, nicola or glenn may be able to make a more accurate estimate than i would. The cash positions will be reached on day 2.

3. you need a PP account, but you can deposit onto it at the club via the terminals/devices at the front or over the cash desk. payouts are online into PP only. £1.50 will be credited to your partypoker account on top of your wiinnings to cover any withdrawal fees

Ok thanks TightEnd

the UK Poker news report

The inaugural partypoker Grand Prix Million looks set to overlay by more than $200,000 based on current estimations. http://ow.ly/NbpBQ

(take friends, fill minibuses, find friends, make friends...just take them to DTD!)

9.30pm Grand Prix Million ONLINE DAY 1's now on partypoker. Multi table your way to TWO Day 2 stacks

these are new from today, a second online day one per night

was the multi bullet day 2 always part of the plan?  Amazing idea which i assume has never been offered before in any comp anywhere in the world?  Certainly gives you the incentive to play multi day 1s.

Do Party Poker have any restrictions on withdrawing?

Tighty, Can't find the 9.30pm anywhere on the site! Am I going blind?

Did not meet minimum runners to start I believe. Hopefully runs tomorrow

Thankyou :(

Another online day one set up at short notice for 10.50pm tonight.

Whats minimum runners?

9 has 5 now

Can you re-enter each flight, or is just a freezeout?

each flight is re-entry

Players are allowed a maximum of 1 Re-Entry per Day 1

Players can play multiple Day 1's and take their Highest Stack through

online chip counts are now added through to Tuesday night

Best of British, Rob and everyone.

As ever, first class effort in what you're putting on.

Important Message from Rob: Mission Impossible

Here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw0GAsR8IGM&feature=youtu.be

Dear Club Members, please could support DTD and me and share this Grand Prix Mission Impossible video on your Facebook and/or post a Tweet on Twitter. I have told Jonathan working behind the bar to that I would like to buy everyone a beer (or soft drink of course) who helps me out by doing this - just go to the bar anytime and show Jonathan the share or tweet on your phone and he will give you a free drink on me:For those of you that can afford to play the Grand Prix, I really do need your support over the next 2 days, never has our little club taken on such a challenge and its so important that we put on a good show this week with us being under the microscope, any overlay costs are mine personally, but I so want us to show the poker world that we are DTD and we can do the impossible.

Cheers and Thanks Rob

Really hope people turn out this weekend and the overlay figure is as small as possible.

However because of the predicted shortfall of runners does this naturally mean that Sundays day 2 will be a much larger field than Saturdays ? Are there are solid predictions on how many players are anticipated to make day 3 ? Will this have an impact on the distribution of the $550 deep stack seats ? I reckon it could be less than 100 players making day 3 from 2a ?

How many players have made day 2 so far please?

Re-Tweeted.

That'll be a latte, 2 sweeteners please.

GL to dtd with this one. Fear this one just may have been a step too far. I've spoken to many people at my local casino trying to convince them to play and tell them what amazing value it is. Most of the feedback I got was they couldn't be "bothered" to play for x hours on day 1, x hours on day 2 and x hours on day 3 despite the value. I know this feedback may or may not help atm.

Also how many levels are played on day 2 please tighty?

16 x 30 minute levels for day twos

Just made it thru to day 2 do I need to get in touch with Nicola or glen so I can play day 2 today ?

online? can i have your pp username please?

i will email them for you, unless you hear otherwise on here turn up for the day 2 today and speak to one of them on arrival

Tighty do you have to use a party poker account given it is party/bwin to play the online day 1's?.  Can i use my bwin account to play this as i have some cash in there and they are the same company right for poker?  Same software?.   Can't be bothered setting up a party poker account and got bwin money sitting doing nothing so might have a couple of bullets if i can.

not sure tbh

think the answer is no but i need to try to contact one of the team to ask.

Well I thought the organisation of Rob and his crew was excellent, lots of people having multiple bullets and some genuinely to help Rob out which is a good thing, DTD will always push the boundaries and was good to see people travelling as far as Devon and Cumbria to play. I think they lost a few numbers with "cant be arsed to open a Party Poker Account" Valets worked really hard yesterday, Ryan and his team were at there best, Very warm in the Main room so was happy to be in the Marque area for 17 levels and the standard of play was far  better than normal in my opinion, Loads of play and great structure, Looking forward to Sunday but the 18 levels was far to long for me. Blinds rolled back is a great idea as well. Good luck all blondes left in.

Thanks tighty
Leethefish01

I have downloaded bwin and party software and it looks identical but i can't find the dtd GP on the bwin poker client even though bwin and party are effectively the same firm.

Have emailed for an answer

the guys are probably snowed under, but will post if i hear in time

I'm on route to club now and have texted Nicola

which i think gives you your answer

pp software only.

confirmed: DTD events are not available in the bwin poker lobby

ok cheers tighty.  I signed up to party and having a spin.

Am I right in thinking you have to make day 3 for the money?

no, cash during the day twos

Thanks, looks like 323 sitting down now for day 2

Do we now any payout details yet

Sound like paying 66% of today's 

Simon just said 199 players will be Paid today but the entry has gone up by another 20 players so guessing it will be more

you will need to ask at the club. i gather simon was announcing the payouts during today but as i am not there i'm not much help!

I'm not at the club friend got a short stack in today game and he hasn't turned up because he got a bigger stack in tomoz

The last live day 1 looks like it's going to be big

I think some people have forgotten what poker is about or meant to be.
Yes winning money is nice but it should be the icing on the cake. Playing poker should be fun and enjoyable. So yes playing day 1 for 9 hrs. Potentially playing Day 2 for 8hrs. Potentially playing Day 3 for 8 or 9 hrs might seem like a ball ache but it isn't. Your talking about 3 days of poker for an £80 outlay. You cant knock that.

I have my own opinions about why this Grand Prix has disappointed DTD in terms of turn out but this is not really the place for that discussion.

My biggest problem is the payout structure, or Lack of it. How on earth can people start a Money Bubble Bursting session without full facts and figures? Unheard of at this level.
We're talking about a $1 000 000 prize pool without a set payout structure.

iv browsed this thread for answers but found none. an unconfirmed report is 66% of todays field paid. todays field is looking to be bigger than tomorrow. so even if it is the same which is a huge doubt that's going to be just under 400 players paid. out of a possible 8k runners????

this is why the payout structure should be available for viewing.

There a facebook page all about the updates as also gone very quiet aswell  people asking questions and not getting answer's it a shame

dealing with 500+ players at the club all wanting to register, enter day 2's etc has to take priority, yes?

I agree with schmeigle about the payouts.

Surely it would be simple to put together a payout grid with a sliding scale, (which DTD did originally have) or borrow an existing one from an online site.

Working out the payouts for every tournament manually seems like a particularly stone-age system in a state-of-the-art establishment.

Pretty sure they've always done it as a % of "unique" players so 400 probably about right?

Seems like $120 satts online are increasing as seen around 4 - 5 more before Sunday day2.

It has to be said that having a day two before all of the days one have been completed definitely adds an extra degree of difficulty when it come to calculating the payouts.

I was told 12.5% of the field will be paid.

Under stand what your saying but yesterday there was 2/3 people just dealing with the online part face book and things there a bloke trying to reg for day two on there Facebook page and it not letting him he now been trying 3 hours he phoned the club sent email and still no joy

Think it only 10% not 12.5 not 100% sure

well he could always register on here, post and let me try to sort it or find an answer. i'm slightly less busy than nicola and team! :-)

Is it a case that it has become overly complicated and people have too many options?
 Just taking a look at the sheet with all the sats/qualifying tournies is a headaches.
 People have too much choice and runners get spread too thin.
 It probably is too many levels/commitment for the buyin. People have other things to do on a bank hol weekend then spend it all playing poker.

The Grand Prix has been a huge success in the past. The guarantee is obviously hugely challenging but the appeal of winning 20-30k for playing two days of poker I think is a big factor as to why the 1 milly hasn't been met but then again it's still the bigges gte ever so I may be wrong. My thoughts have just come from a few recs I've spoken to who said they just didn't wanna play for that amount of time.

Having it while SCOOP is going on is a massive factor too.

It might only have stopped 200 odd players participating, but they are the ones who were likely to throw 10 or more bullets at it.

I played yesterday which was been the busiest day probably, and I knew less then 10 players.

He now sorted it thanks

the payout was set at 66% of todays players...simon said 199th was the bubble from 350 odd players...there was a bit of chat on my table about the low number of paid runners

general feeling was if there were 7000 entries (over the 2 days) then 700 payouts would be about right.... it was based on unique entries though (thoughts that a paid entry was a paid entry)...especially as the grand prixs are aimed at recreational players.

As usual impecibly run and massive shame it will be so overlaid

For those that didnt turn up due to a short stack...a 56k stack on my table blinded out after 30 minutes...i would estimate 400-500k and you might have just blinded in to the money...it was very fast and furious  ;D

100 left in day2 today and my mate has got $800 locked up bubble burst on 199 players

Yeah, excellent point, hadn't even thought about scoop

It paid 206 yesterday. The hand for hand lasted over an hour and a half which was excruciating as they started it with about 215 players left in. But I guess we have timebanking short stacks to blame for that. My only criticism of the day was that it was very hot inside, which was alleviated somewhat when the doors were wedged open.

I met lots of players yesterday who were quite inexperienced playing live at this level of buyin and they had a fantastic time, which was great to see.

As for the strange moanings of 'not wanting to play all BH w/e'. Well just play the online evening day 1s and then the live D2. If you get through to D3 then you've a good shot at a huge score!

I found the plethora of options of online/live a great mix of flexibility and allowing people to take multiple shots (my mate's up here and done about 12 D1 bullets so far!).

Also, despite all the overlay on satellites/main event, DTD are still throwing out the offers-if you play live and online D1 today at the same time you will be entered into a draw for a $6k(?) Vegas package. A fantastic offer since I saw very few people doing this yesterday and their WiFi was no good when I tried it.

Well done Rob and team for having the balls and ambition to once again push the boundaries by running a ground-breaking event-many people really do appreciate the effort and risk that has gone into organizing this. People that missed this (especially when overlay was mooted) need their heads examined!

''As for the strange moanings of 'not wanting to play all BH w/e'. Well just play the online evening day 1s and then the live . If you get through to then you've a good shot at a huge score''

My sentiments exactly!

Going into the last 10am Live and 10am Online flights around $350,000 being added

late reg 12.10pm online and 12.50pm live....

344 from yesterday and 384 showing for today already. so with 2 flights left or ongoing its looking like a 200k overlay

Suppose I better have another bullet this morning. What time does the online leg finish this morning in order to get to dtd for 4pm?

18 levels x 12 minutes plus 5 min breaks, finishes before 2pm

What was the final numbers for the gran prix at dtd??  hope they managed to get close to the guarantee....... there was talk of a 300k shortfall, but dtd always pull it out of the bag!!

I played 2A it is correct 66% of the field was paid

We had the ladder payouts available to us, I was 34th which paid $1750

There were also added WPT 550 dollar seats to the last 54 out of the 150

Was strange playing before Day 1 was completed but they were able to calculate based on the overlaid prize pool

Was too hot inside, it improved but still uncomfortable, dealing was excellent.

The bubble went on too long, for some reason hand for hand started way before 1 to go.

I won a seat for $11 and won combined value $2300 can't argue with that value, wd DTD

Total attendance was 7,128 I believe, leaving an overlay of $287,200.

516 players started Day 2b, 306 are paid from these with 46 players remaining. They'll play down to 30 players tonight.

 live updates will be on the partypoker blog from Day 3 until the tournament's conclusion.

Getting 7,000 plus runners is pretty damned impressive.

I had one bullet, late last night. I hadn't intended to initially, and in a sense I wish I hadn't. Not just because it was one of the most dispiriting sessions of poker I can remember and I didn't survive beyond level 9; I hadn't taken part up till that point because I felt somewhat disadvantaged against a lot of the field.
Those that were time rich and able to play big hours in the chase for Golden Chips, and those that were bankrolled to make multiple entries.

It can't really make that mich difference though.  200 and 10 bullets each just seems very optimistic.  I am never staying up to play the SCOOP main and its structure from hell, but I only did 3 bullets.  Suspect some of those who could do 10 bullets will just look at it as too small on any Sunday.

The event had 7000 entries, which would have been a great success without the guarantee.  I think we just found the limit as to how ambitious you can be.  Half a million guarantee and everyone would be saying wow?

Edit just realised the 7.30 scoop is 2 days.  Cancel the never staying up bit.  Is tempting now.  Kids going to drive me mad in the morning tho.

Rob's final blog entry on the partypoker Grand Prix Million

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=514

"The next Grand Prix Million will be in December 2015, $1M GTD and $100+$20 buy-in with provisional dates the week of 14th - 20th December. This will double up as a bit of a Xmas do / end of year bash for DTD members and partypoker players, a fun end to the poker year for everyone involved."

"No. We have not gone mad. We can do this second time round."

Tightend any links for the live feed please pal Ac

Its a shame that dtd didn't get close to the guarantee, but good on Rob to announce another 1M guarantee in December.  With a longer build up and and a bit more thought in the marketing, then it will smash the guarantee and bring some Christmas cheer to everyone!! :)

After just reading there is going to be a second Grand Prix million and wondering if Rob has had a bump to the head I thought I would post a thought on what might reduce the overlay or hit the guarantee next time around...

Play to 10% on day one - all day two players in the money (this is never popular with the regs but could encourage more recs)
And

With the above in play - payout all day twos

For example if it was this past weekend and someone made day two three times - the smallest stack is removed and the minimum cash is paid...the other two stacks play the two day twos - resulting in absolute minimum of three min cash payouts

I think that could greatly encourage multiple entrants.

Just throwing it in there

i will be looking for it on

http://www.partypoker.com/blog/


it seems like there are 50 left, but i am afraid i do not have a list or counts

Thanks

i don't have chip counts or any sight of updates yet but the final 50 has just gone up in seat order

$100,000 for first

i see thewy and jack allen are still in, good local representation generally

Tasos busted AK  2 x with K6 and K2 last night, Him And My 10% ftw

cant believe that such a big guarantee'd event has such poor blogs........ bring back some decent blonde blogs!!!

There is no point in holding a great event without the poker world knowing about it....... there should be lots of bloggers from all the poker world, magazine, forums. etc. that generates the buzz which I think was missing from this event!!!

yeah really poor, Bring back Tighty

They were filming our table yesterday and taking pictures of all golden chip holders ....I haven't seen this anywhere,maybe I missed it..... but no doubt Tighty and co are very much missed!

Have to say the DTD team were immense yesterday. SO many players/tables, but all taken in their stride.

Oh my, well done Tasos, that might be his biggest ever win?

Good to see a local regular get a nice few bob.

Well done to all the other cashes too, of course.

It was impressive laddering too. When I was watching he was hovering around 9-15 bbs with 7 left :)

He made a ridiculous fold 4 handed with TT to the eventual winner. Well done Stacy who I thought played really well on the final and was unlucky not to win it

Well done to Ant for winning!!! and also to Stacy who got very unlucky!
