the rule for these events jen is that you have to be in your seat when your 2nd card is dealt to you or your hand is dead.
in blackpool my hand was deemed dead because i wasnt in my seat for the first card dealt,
and that was one hand before a chp count ,and my blind .
Blackpool was not a GUKPT Event.
I was about to say the same thing there Tikay. The usual Grosvenor rules don't apply to this event as it has its own. Which for this particular issue is not in seat when your 2nd card is dealt means your hand is mucked.
