Playing Thursday 20th - 6.00pm - £250 PL Omaha Double Chance Freezeout

Friday 21st - 2.00pm - £1,000 NL Hold'em Main Event

and knowing how I run in GUKPTs, Friday 21st - 7.30pm - £100 NL Hold'em Freezeout

For those unaware you can buyin directly on the blue square site if worried about a possible cap with only one day one. 

I can't decide if the proximity of the DTD event at DTD which is only an hour or so down the road will result in a loss of runners.  I personally hope they continue with the £1000 buyins next year and don't drop it to £500.   I don't think I'd bother if it was much less, simply because hotels/petrol etc is a much bigger percentage of a £500 event.

Main Event starts at 2pm on all days. In terms of a cap, I think we can take 250, but I will confirm.
