I'm curious (for business reasons really) as to how many runners this will get.
It's way off the beaten (poker) track, & a bloody long way for most of us, set against that, the GUKPT is a stunning success, & a big "draw" for players.
So what's your estimate of "how many"?
I assume Blue Square automatically generate a number of seats via Online Qualifuiers? - 10, 30, 100?
Lastly, who is playing, that you are aware of.
I only know of Thewy so far, but I'm sure we could add quite a few to the list.
Thinking caps on, & add any names to this thread please.

As I am from Plymouth I am bound to say that I am sure it will sell out. It is no further from London than Manchester and takes just as long to get here. I am sure it will be a huge success. The Golden Sands in Torquay looks like it will sell out and that is with Leeds competing with it. There are a lot of on line players in the south west and we have a thriving series of cash games. As for the well known names then I admit I dont know but I see no reason why players would not want to come as they travel much further for other events.....and yes we have an airport  If anyone needs any hotel advice etcthen I will try and help |

Red - I love you - but hate the word spinster, Tikay - sharing the buffet at Luton does not make us an item - and Andrew T - lets just get married so my name can be Mrs Tracey Tracey.
