Gl guys! Titbeam ftw! What's for first?

€62k. Down to ten and both still in, at least one will make tomorrow's final unless they are both eliminated in same hand.

Thought this might be of interest.

John Eames in the commentary booth with Phil "The Tower" Heald.

Was talking with cardroom manager at Bolton and all us regular players at Bolton and Mcr have asked why is the 500 buy I'n a 6 max when other events are 50k starting stack and normal . Lee has asked it 2 be changed and they said no . Will be lucky if you get 20 and that's from the cardroom manager . Any chance you can talk 2 lee at Bolton cheers

Not all the other 500 events are Deepstack's. There are four £500 events - two Deepstacks and two 6 Max. There are going to around 40 seats guaranteed in live an online satellites so the 20 estimate is a little way off

These events were added to give a little bit of a mix to the tour and are replacing the summer series of events that have taken place over the last few years. Last year there were 42 in the Bolton summer series event. I have no doubt that we will smash that at the 6 Max.

We know the Deepstack will be more popular than the 6 Max overall and there is nothing to say that Bolton won't get a Deepstack next year.

The English Deepstack is going to be in Coventry this year which is not that far for people to travel to from your area.

Only 171 runners this year 207 last year going 2 struggle to get numbers I'n main event .

Walsall, vic and Blackpool should still do fine but the £500 events and sides have been a bit tez.
This weekend is gonna be interesting as genting go head to head with Dtd

171 was a slight disappointment for the main event but overall there were a few more entries in the events that made up the 2012 leg compared to 2011.

Big ups were the super satellite on Sunday and the £300 on Tuesday (This was a £500 last year with 67 runner compared to 113 this year.)

The Bounty event was down by 46 players from 140 to 94 - the only extra event was a £100 on Saturday night which had 46 players

Saturday's £500 was only down 17 players versus the £250 event which was at the same time last year.

Monday's £100 was down 5 players and Thursday six max up 5.

There are 4 more weeks of online qualifiers for Walsall than there was for Manchester which means there should be at least 16 more players in by that route in March. Walsall was leg 3 last year and had 172 players. I predict 207 this year

The new structure and starting stack seemed well received by players who attended.

I was expecting having DTD and Genting next week to make more of an impact on the numbers truth be told, especially as this event is right at the end of most working peoples pay month directly after Christmas and New year.

Livestream will be here:

Hopefully the connection holds up. Watched some of it live for the first time last night and considering the difficulties that they are having with t'internet up there I thought it was pretty good.

I'd just love Barny to do a win, just such a top top guy, really likeable and would just be brilliant for him....go on the old boys

Bit off calling guys younger than you old mate

Well done Julian!

Thanks for the feedback, most of it I am aware of and taking steps to improve, the major one being the actual picture quality on the stream. This is down to the picture quality limits on livestream. What is being uploaded is much higher than what you see. Check out the youtube channel to see quality it is being filmed in (even this is lower than the actual master quality).

I have settled for lower image quality rather than the freezing and stuttering which I have seen on other streams.

We have some other options that we are testing that will greatly improve the picture quality and make the graphics useful for viewers. At the moment the graphics help the commentators more than they help you

The graphic software is new and already we have found some glitches so it's probably best that you can't see them...

We have a new custom shape TV table being delivered soon which will allow us better camera angles, much like what you see on a TV Show. At the moment we adjust them as players get knocked out. When we use our full stage the angles tend to better also.

Please keep the feedback coming. I listen to it all and we will use it to get the best all round stream possible.

Hotel room for Dublin gone already.

Thanks for some great updates Tightend. Worth every penny!

If anyone fancy's a crack at the 6 Max in Dublin next week we have had a room cancellation. 4 nights in a twin room available for €276. Hotel is sold out otherwise.

There are over 500 players prepaid or qualified. Approx 450 of them French. It is probably the best structured 6 Max event around. Re-entries are allowed on Day 1B if you bust Day 1A making it a bit better value for the travelling player.

Luton in November is capped at 180 with local satellites starting in October.

Next chance for a crack at a Deep Stack in Dublin in February. Amazingly without advertising it yet we have nearly 50 pre-registrations already. Last year was 737 players and we expect to get more this year as we have every year so far!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the live updates here and on the live stream. As usual good to meet more blondes that I have not met before. Especially good to meet Pav the Cat again who has the unique distinction of being the only player to lose to me in a heads up match live

What's the exact date for the Deep Stack in Dublin next year? How & where can I pre-register? Thanks

Hi Daiva,

It is the 7th - 12th Feb 2012. Details here: http://www.europeandeepstackpoker.com/tournaments/euro_ds/

Main Event in Dublin is a 4 day event with a better structure than the normal tour.

Two events added for 2012:

€2500 High roller with same structure as main event. This takes place before the main. Good interest so far from players who would normally play this level of event.

€550 Omaha. Triple chance with 3 * 10k stacks. Now we are at such volume for this event we should get a decent sized field for this.

Last years numbers were:

737 in the main event
370 in the €300 Side
175 in the €200 Side
99 in the Satellite for €1000 tour packages

Hotel deals will be available in two weeks time so don't book your hotels yet!

Online satellites already on Red Hot Poker and other sites will have them soon.

Whats the turnout gonna be like tomorrow? I'm planning on late regging at 3ish, will there be seats?

Should be fine. I reckon anywhere between 150 & 180 and we can cater for 200 + alternates.

If your definitely coming drop me an email or PM and I will hold you a place.
