Go on Raj and Jack. Raj is the last of the oldschool grinders. Says he goes ad buys a new pair of jeans after every comp he goes deep in because he grinded the arse off the old pair. Lol!

a lot of people sat into these and the prizes are way in excess of what they normally get to play for.  £9k is a holiday, overdraft cleared and free pokerz for a year to some...
takes all sorts.


on the subject a quick straw poll tells me that 6 of the 9 are in this via online sats for between £20 and £40

Excellent stuff, well played those guys

people forget the opportunity cost of winning £9k.  Its not just the £9k in cash.  It could also be £5k+ saved in interest on a £9k credit card/loan repayment etc which can be cleared early.  So effectively the £9k is worth £14k potentially.  Therefore in this case making a bad EV deal a good EV deal.  Plus the added lack of stress of having debts hanging over you. Similarly if the player is staked into this the £9k might allow him to play his regular games without staking and keep a much bigger chunk of his future income to him/herself.

This event is one of the best events in the UK for mixing total amateurs (due to the sheer number of sat winners) and full time pros and everyone inbetween.  I dont really get why people are surprised when diff months throw up different deals on the final table depending who is has reached the final table.

15 minute break

I mean, how bad do I need to run?. A 12pm start, and still nine left at 9pm. After a deal!

I doubt players who are finacially instable would make this +ev choice of repayment. I know a few degens who will just see it as 9k gambling tokens! I guess thats what brought them into the tourney in the first instance.

Would not surprise me if another deal is done on the break.

They come back playing for change.

I say job well done mate if that is the case get your self off.

The reports once again have been amazing.

I disagree.  I think a fair number of sat winners (not all obv) treat the £20-£40 spent on a sat into the £300 deepstack as a casual bet like doing a football coupon etc.  If they were given the chance to close out their football coupon with one game to go to win £9k most casual gamblers would probably choose to do this.

First hand back from the break Houston raises to 130,000

Eustace all in 600,000 bb

Houston long dwell fold


Average stacks <10xbb. Not many raise/folds left in any of these stacks


We really should speed through things now

No more deals in the break, mainly because 2-3 players got short just before it
