Tournament starts with a published structure and late entry until the end of level 8 which would be 25bb.

Without notice, level 4 is rolled back to be the same as level 3. No idea what the next levels are going to be.

Unacceptable or all's fair in love and war and overlays?

Unacceptable unless the possibility is muted beforehand IMO.

TD hopes there will be no more "mistakes".

Ha, arrived late in level 3 and didn't notice.  observant me.   where are you at?

Can't see it been anything other than a mistake and dare say that 20bbs vs 25bbs isn't going to make much difference.

I am only concerned with my bedtime and the fact I may be forced to rebuy now because of the potential overlay...

Red jumper, grey hair, 40k chips.

will say hello at the break.   am sat in front of you opposite padraig parkinson.

 I assume this is at the Lenton Shed? Their organisational skills would normally be above the level f making such a mistake.

Was the structure published beforehand?

I’ve been there when they added in an extra break to extend the time before entry closes which is less of a fudge.

Neither move is as bad as adding an extra Day 1 to the advertised schedule.

But it's "due to popular demand"......

Or "for the benefit of our travelling players"...

big overlay, so nobody complaining here.  72 players, 50k guarantee.   Simon Trumper is in.

The structure was published in advance. They were also told during level 2 that the next level was displaying incorrectly but presumably they were unable and/or unwilling to change it.

I see Phil "The Power" Clarke won it, top man with a great sense of humour.

Used to post on here once..

I'll just add that there were only 5 new entries during the last break, and possibly some re-entries.  Nobody was discussing the extra level at my table at all; if anybody else noticed it I didn't hear them say anything anyway.  It seems the big overlay was much more significant than the extra level to me. 

The food service was pretty awful though; think that has always been the way. 

The comp was a bit mixed ability, but I didn't play that well and I got schooled by the fella on my left in the last couple of levels.  It was definitely worth showing up for.

I was very surprised by the overlays in all the side events.

Did everyone just do their brains in the Colossus the week before? Was it because of no direct satties to the side events and people don't like the PPL$ system? People prefer to go do Dublin this week?

I was going to go for a few events, but every man and his dog seems to be remortgaging this month.

I just paid in cash at the club, though can't say PPL$ makes it clearer.  Maybe some are comfused by them and assume they can't pay cash?  I am pretty crap at keeping in touch, but I had forgotten all about it until a week ago.  I really only get excited by the WSOP these days.

I blame Brexit :)

given you can expense hotels aswell as buyin with PPL, and the huge amounts of value in the guaranteed PPL sats they are running, I can only think that they had a positive influence on numbers in general. I was genuinely surprised at how many people had traveled from abroad to play.

Indeed, was very impressed by the Norwegian number plate in the car park. On a Tesla.

That actually belongs to a total hero who used to be a dealer at DTD and now does the chip room at a bunch of tour stops, so that was a staff member :p

A few blasts from the past here;

How many can you name, Tikay?

Not enough.

4, maybe 5 at best.

who is the fella between stato and the champ.   He was sat on my table all day.   Seemed a nice fella and decent at O8.  He looked vaguely familar but I am terrible with faces.

Dark blue shirt & beige jacket?

That's Basharat Mahmood, usually known as "Bash" or "Basha".

God knows how many cashes he has had at DTD, & before that, at Gala Notts, could run into hundreds. I rarely saw him elsewhere.

Looks like he's lost a bunch of weight, he had quite the pot belly last time I saw him.

Here's his THM;

I was trying to work out who the fella to the other side of Stato was, with the glasses. Sure I've seen him around a few times. Reminded me of RichEO at first, whom I haven't seen for a number of years.

I was disappointed with myself that I could only name 4.

Seems too young to be RichEO. Wonder what he is up to these days?

Is that mad dog on there to the left
Nice old guy from Northampton area
Never knew he won anything?
Must have crashed in

Looks like him. Not seen him in Luton for an eternity.

What happened to page #3 of this thread?

I'm sure it was here earlier.

Went to a better place.

It had to be removed Ralph, some problems arose.

This is a replacement page 3 service. We thank you for your patience and we hope you haven't been too inconvenienced.
