No problem at all with €10 juice.

If there's 5 day ones presumably there's at least 8 days total.

€2k per day sure covers the running costs of the place.

Assuming I've got nothing more important on I'll be there.

Exactly. 20% juice is cheap considering the manpower and organisation this is going to take

Are DTD allowing re-entry for this? For example you bust day 1a, you can re-enter on another day 1 if you wish. I know this has worked in low buy-in, high guarantee tournaments in the past such as the $330, $1 mil gtd at LA Poker Classic.

Just read an article thanks to Barry carter that dtd are planning a gp with 5 day ones, that's just sick, obviously rob will pull it off, and will get knocked for doing it, it goes with the territory of running best poker club in UK. I just want to know where everyone is going to come from, 320 runners a day is massive especially when he will need people to travel to get the numbers, people are going to have to take time off work to play there start date. It's going to be like the wall without the huge buyin, and without the 10 hour flights, good luck rob but I still think your crazy

I have to say my first instinct was why isn't this €100 like the last one. That still got the numbers. Then the guarantee would be €160,000 which is just daft and may be more attractive for travellers.

Could argue it both ways I guess. €100 makes it more attractive for people to travel. €50 makes sure pretty much every recreational player would want to play
