The DTD £150 this weekend, £50,000 Guaranteed. Rollcall....

Re-entries

Players can re-enter on either day once, so technically a person could re-enter 4 times, although unlikely

I thnk this is a change to procedures, cuts down on expenses for players who want two shots rather than spend £100 on a hotel to re-enter the next day  and boosts prize pool too I assume.

4 entries in total, not 4 re entries.

Yes enter both days, 1 re-entry both days = 4 total

Planning on playing Saturday for a couple of levels anyhow.

Hoping to rediscover my pojo.

Live Sats this week

Yes, we did schedule some live sats (my preferred option) but general consensus with players was that doing 10 seats every night online this week was enough for players that didn't want to sell out the buy-in, and further live club sats at this buy-in level was over kill, as £150 of within reach for most of our £50 players, so we cancelled them and put  a £50 + 1 Re-Entry on Thursday and have the option of being able allocate more dealer to seat more players for the £150 on Friday (if needed)

Re-Entry into £150

Feedback from players is that they don't like the restriction of Re-Entry only into the next Day 1 (again, my preferred option) as it forces people who have a budgeted of 2 attempts (should they be unlucky enough to get busted) to incur extra hotel expenses, we got a lot of flack for this at the Grand Prix and this was the feeling of many players at the Deepstack, so we've basically made it more flexible, effectively this means that a player could have 1 buy-in and 3 re-entries (2nd bullet Day 1a, buy-in Day 1b, 2nd bullet Day 1b) but I think this is unlikely and not too smart, as the player would need to get busted within the re-entry period on both days. Personally, my view is that for a £50,000 GTE, if the bankroll can afford it, play Day 1a, and re-enter into Day 1b if busted, I understand Re-entry into a comp that only has one day 1 - as you cant get back in again otherwise, but when there are 2 separate day 1's, its different. However, players have been pretty vocal about having this to me so we have adjusted the re-entry rules. Generally 20% of players re-enter at £150 and lower buy-in, and 10% at higher buy-ins, so its not a big deal really.

In.  Hopefully make Friday, if not two bullets on Saturday.

Good luck. Its interesting that the no.1 reason why Friday seems to be getting more popular as a Day 1 with players that I have asked is NOT because they have the option to re-enter on Saturdays, nor was it because they are busy on Saturday's, it was simple that if they get through, they get a 24 hour break to prepare themselves for Day 2, I never actually even thought of that as a factor when we started offering 2 Day 1's for the Deepstack.

I have a few questions please.

Is Friday likely to sell out and what time do they play until?

Last time I visited DTD there was a hotel nearby, what is the hotel's name and is there a poker rate with them. Is there a better option nearby?

thanks

It won't sell out. Normally it gets 100-120 runners and could hold more

It plays 12 levels 7pm to 4am


Hotels, I will ask

Most folks stay at the Castle Marina Holiday Inn, Phil, no idea if it has a poker rate though.

[Jayb]

I managed to satalite in for the Friday, first satalite I have ever managed to win online so I expect to get bust out first level...lol

There is also a Premier Inn at castle marina, rooms are usually around £70 a night as standard, not sure if it has a poker rate.
