As a lot of people are , I was also thinking of taking my laptop to DTD for Day 2 of The Monte Carlo so I could play Pokerstars $10,000,000 at the same time ....

However....having looked at things a bit closer, I have had it confirmed from Pokerstars it will be a one day event (straight through with only the normal 5 minute hourly breaks)

A normal  Sunday million with 7500 ish runners last approx 12 /13 hours..so with this tournament staring at 7 .30 pm (UK Time ,Late Reg till 10.30pm) and a potential 50,000 runners ( It needs to have 50,000 players to cover the 10 million guarantee (50,000 x $200 ofc) ) I figure its going to go on for an approx 18 hours and will finish at 1. 00 pm ish Monday afternoon.

These are rough approximations....but it would be interesting to hear what other people think .

Regardless...its a long day especially if you have been, or are playing live also .  

Good Luck to all that enter Smiley

Peace  x

i think 10 hours should be the limit of any online tourney tbh, any more and it is a joke.

Would love to play this but just know that before long i will be getting restless.

The Internet wifi connection in Dtd was shocking last night and suffering disconnections every 15 mins. Having said that on Thursday night there was no problems

What's the point? I know how I react to sleeplessness and it results in me going on life tilt. With the sick amount of spots you need to win to do well I will be a sitting duck. Is no one else really upset about having to possibly play so many hours? So want a 2-day

I don't know what the fuss was about, the tourney took less than an hour

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots
