Best value EVER on blonde ??

[Colchester Kev]

Fancy a shot at a £750 comp with 20,000 starting chips and 1 hour blinds ... for $2 ??


No its not a joke ... for just $2 you could be in London playing a deepstack comp with a £750 buy in. 


Wednesday JULY 8th @ 8.30pm on blondepoker we will run a $2 NLHE Freezeout, the winner will get a seat in the main event.

The main event takes place at the Kensington Close hotel http://www.kensingtonclosehotel.com/

ok, first off a big thank you to the London Poker Circuit for the seat into their £750 Main Event in July, and Kev has posted above the comp where the winner gets the seat

There follows some information on the event and the tour

[TightEnd]

The London Poker Circuit (LPC) will be hosting a brand new schedule from July incorporating two new series of deep stack NLHE poker events in their plush Hotels.

Firstly, the "Super Stack Series" (first event 25th July) will involve the £300 double chance freezeout (7000 stack, 30 minute blinds) on the Friday night and a £750 main event (20000 stack, 1 hour blinds) on the Saturday afternoon. Secondly the five star Westbury Hotel in Mayfair will be hosting the fortnightly "Mayfair Maul" on Friday nights with a £250 buy in, 5000 stack and 30 minute blinds. £200 will go the prize pool and £50 per knockout.

Full details can be found at www.londonpokercircuit.co.uk and you can qualify through their website (via 888.com) in their weekly satellites. Cash, Satellites and single table tournaments will also be available.

London Poker Circuit to Relaunch

The players who attended the events were very impressed with how well they were managed and structured, but it wasn't getting the seats filled. The tour has now announced they will be redesigning its schedule from July following player feedback.

The new schedule will incorporate two new deep stack events in the Cola chain of hotels in London. There will be a monthly Super Stack Series which will include a £300 double chance event on Fridays and a £750 main event on Saturday with a whopping 20,000 stack and 1 hour blinds. Secondly the Westbury Hotel in Mayfair will host a fortnightly Mayfair Maul on Fridays with a £250 bounty tournament, with £50 of the buy-in being the bounty. Satellites for the events will still be on 888 Poker.

The first Mayfair Maul will be on Friday 17th July and the first of the Super Stack Series will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 24th, 25th and 26th July

In this article http://uk.pokernews.com/news/2009/5/lisa-hawkes-lpc-winner-1157.htm Barry Carter was critical of the London Poker Circuit model, but these new changes really look like they could fill a gap in the live poker market. Lowering the buy-in to £750 was a good move in these tough economic times and a 20,000 starting stack is exactly what the live poker regulars crave. Add to this the experience of playing in a plush hotel and the London Poker Circuit might just be able to replicate the popular deep stack hotel based tournaments that are played extensively in say Ireland

ok if there are any questions about the event or the LPC fire away and I will forward them for answering

Otherwise I hope we get a big field for the blonde Poker tournament. Not often you get a £825 total value seat added round these parts!

I am intrigued as to how it has suddenly become legal to run poker tournaments in hotels in the UK.

I always thought that the laws regarding poker were totally different in Ireland and that's why it worked there

[Colchester Kev]

If we dont get 100 runners for this, I will not be happy.

 reply as follows

Anyone with a Gambling Commission issued Casino Operating licence can run equal chance gaming under Temporary Use Notices (TUNS) for example a poker tournament in a Hotel, however to a maximum of 21 days per premises. The LPC is operated by The Ultimate Poker Tour who has the necessary Operating Licence and the tournaments are in conjunction with Cola Hotels across their properties in London. The Gambling Commission have attended our events and are satisfied with the professional set up and compliance in place.

Getting mixed messages, do you want me to play or not?   

[Acidmouse]

I will play in it. If When I win I will give it to someone on blonde and take 50% of them as London is scary and has too many southerners there for me to go play
