The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

and, from Simon Trumper on another thread re this event

"Hi Guys

As TK said i read all dtd threads and his diary to get feedback/ideas to improve the service/experience of playing at dusk till dawn.

I spoke to Tom and told him the current structure for the monthly £500 was set at 40 minutes and 7500 chips and uses our normal weekly tournament structure with a couple of changes, i have added a 150 300 25 level and the 200 400 has a 50 ante instead of 25, i also said if i gave a longer clock and full festival structure ( i will probably put back one or two levels i removed as originally it was way too slow for one day events the first week ending in chip counts every night at 6am ! ) what would i have to improve the festival events.

Every Thursday our £50 event has been sold out, originally capped at 108 and getting 119 to 137 it is now capped at 135 pre seat draw and 9 alternates . 144 is the natural cap using our structure with 30 minute levels, Thursdays event was split on a 3 way chip count at 4.20am but could have played out over the next 3 levels. Tonight there were 89 players for the £100 which has 5000 starting chips instead of 4000 , this makes a big difference to early play as with 445,000 chips compared to Thursdays 576,000 it finished at 5.10am with no deals, this means i may have to drop the chips if the fields keep increasing but i know i could get up to 144 with 4000 so will try 4500 first but not until i see how the next one with 5000 chips does.

As i have no idea how many players will turn up for our £500 i want to give a decent structure with a longer clock and more chips than our weekly events then monitor the result and feedback as this will help me determine the best structure/clock/chips for our first festival . I agree with Tom and TK that the dusk till dawn experience should not be diluted and wherever i can i will improve it. Therefore once i see how this weekend goes next month i will consider a one hour clock and 7500 or 45 minutes with 10,000 starting chips.

Playing here is so unique compared to any other venue in the UK there is no reason why our monthly event can't be a sample of what you can expect at dtd festivals.

I respect Toms decision to skip this months event but i hope he will come and play in the side games.

As kev says it's not possible to please everyone but for those interested here are the first 10 levels tonight , 7500 chips and a 40 minute clock.

25 50
50 100
75 150
100 200
150 300
150 300 25
200 400 50
300 600 50
400 800 100
600 1200 100

I certainly dont think Tom is " dissing " dtd as i know he loves playing here as does TK and without constructive criticism i would be unable to perfect the dusk till dawn experience so thanks to all of you that are willing to share your opinions.

I am trying to achieve our goal of making dusk till dawn the premier venue in Europe, i have a fantastic team providing the best poker experience in an amazing venue, there is much more to come as we work towards opening 7 days a week and hosting our first festival and i welcome any suggestions both here or in person at the club.

Cheers

ACES"

Is this going to be a regular monthly update or just for the first one? I'll be playing in the next couple of this and will put on a fancy jumper if I know your cameras are going to be out.
