If they move the short-stack though, they'll be less burdened by all the chips they have to carry.

I'll be very surprised if the events, the buy-ins and the dates for this are not changed before they fully launch the schedule.

A £5,000 HORSE event seems ludicrous
A £2,500 PL Omaha is more realistic but still probably too big a buy-in for such an event fro Uk players and too small to attract many US players to travel for it.
A £10,000 buy-in main event is way too high - £5,000 would be big enough.

The dates for the HORSE and PL Omaha clash with GUKPT Plymouth, which will drain many from their potential base of UK players. The dates for the £10,000 main event are likely to clash with EPT London.

I don't think they have thought this though very well.

Last year the EPT London was 21-24th Sept - WSOP Europe main event is 10th-16th Sept, so no clash there unless the EPT want to engineer one.

As for the HORSE and Omaha, the players who would be interested in these are not going to be swayed by a £1,000 event all the way down in Plymouth - the lure of becoming a bracelet holder in an elite, non-holdem event will be bigger.

Although not yet announced, I believe the EPT were looking to run earlier in September this year.  IMO they will still sell out 400+ seats easily for an EPT event even if they are up against WSOP, but how many will WSOP get for a £10,000 one up against an EPT?

I still think the HORSE and Omaha events are pitched at the wrong levels for a first venture into the UK. They would be far better running a series of £1,000 - £2,000 events leading up to a £5,000 main event. This could include an Omaha and mixed game such as HORSE as well as a cheaper NL game. By appealing to the specialists and the very high rollers only they are missing a real opportunity to get into the UK market.

My impressionw as that these weren't the only events but there are other events surrounding it. These are the big ones though and I think plenty of people will play the 10k buyin one if you can get online qualifiers a good structure and get the American pro's to come over aswell. I'd be surprised if there wouldn't be a fair few showing up for it

Plymouth sounds about right for a Man United fan.

A £10,000 buy-in? You must be joking. I'd be surprised if they get 150 runners. Unless the top pros from around the world are in attendance, this will be a total flop.

Pun very much intended.

but that's what I mean..the top-pro's will surely be there. a 10k£ buy-in event for which you also get a bracelet?? JEsus I expect them to be floggni towards London en masse
