Cant make this one unfortunately but hope it all goes well, I'd like to see more local card room qualifiers for these TV tournaments, I think DTD need to do more of these (as I believe they did for the Poker Million).

As an aside, have Blondepoker ever considered running a satelitte/promo for a seat in a TV tournament like this? Not necessarily a super sat, perhaps a rake race promo which ends in a 1 table satelitte or someink like that (like THM did last year with the wsop). I think there would be loads of interest and, as they now allow branded shirts, good TV exposure for Blonde.

Playing Sat the 7th, plz let me run better than last time!

A couple of people have asked for some further info so I thought i would update this post:

Tables normally start around 8.20pm, that's usually when the first 10 are there.. as you bust out of one (if your unlucky) then you can enter the next one going, we get between 2-4 tables per week. The satelites finish for around midnight although the cash table goes on till around 2ish.

The tables are a maximum 10 handed at £35 each and there is always (ONE) rebuy offered for the first person out and this £35 is to pay for the dealer. There is NO reg fee in the satelites altough there is a session charge on the cash table.

Parking is strictly at the rear of the pub which is accessed on Severn st car park, once you enter the car park turn left and drive through the two wooden gated entrances going as far as you can. the rear of the pub will be on your right hand side.

then in the search box put Severn St, Bridgnorth

If you zoom into this map of the car park you will get my drift

Any other info required please ask

can't reccomend this one enough to anyone who fancies it.

I went down to a similar event they ran last year and won a wsop package (value $16k) and also managed to chop a £100 rebuy stt they ran the night after. The venue is friendly and the banter is great and its worth spending a few hundred quid to try and qualify for a big event. I cant make it spiv but gl to whoever comes down from it (a few are coming down from blackpool I think- get marty to chase them up).
