Cheers George. Thought it was but DTD website says otherwise.

Obviously the race planners at the BHB are not poker players

Eeek.

Didn't realise this was on Grand National weekend.

Might rethink playing.

with DTD website qualifying 3 people per day (at least) for a month thats another 100 runners on top of the stars sat's which have started much earlier than last year, and seem to be generating more runners, i can see this one smashing the 1k barrier which is going to lead to a huge prizepool! One not to be missed i imagine!

When will DTD be getting a EPT thats what i want to know! (In our dreams)!

I'm sure this particular tournament has a 1000 runners, cap.. but saying that, even with the Cap you're looking at £700k in the prize pool meaning something like £200k to the winner....

Alex are DTD going to be holding single table flips for this tournament? (Ten people put £77 in the middle all get dealt two cards face up, then the flop, turn and river, the winner taking the lot)...

Adios ...

Starting Days

At the moment there is only 2 starting days, Thursday and Friday. We are working closely with Pokerstars on the number of players that they are sending, last year they sent 350 and we got a field of 1058. Current forecasts are that they will be sending double that for this event.

What I can say, is that I am meeting with Pokerstars next week, and that I will do everything I can do to make sure that every single player that wants to play this UKIPT event will be able to. Please just leave this with me and trust me that I will do what I can. Pokerstars do not like to add extra days, flights or change their schedule, they have a fixed formula which works, but I will know more next week. What I need is for players to just "trust me" on this one and be a little patient. Last year's UKIPT was a brilliant event but it wasn't easy to turn people away when they rang reception and also having 1000+ players in the building at one time was a strain on our resources.

Cheers Rob

as per Rob, the cap has yet to be deicded

Sounds good, I'll take the over 1058..

[smashedagain]

Rob does not set a record last year to cap himself at stop him busting it this yeah. Chances of not busting last years record are very slim 

[Killerkilsby]

Would love to sat to this sounds amazing.

[pokerfan]

Line 1250 i reckon.

[BangBang]

Would love to sat to this sounds amazing.

Yep, I'd love to flip for this too...

in terms of numbers, , stars will qualify 650-800, plus another 100-150 will buy-in through them, we will qualify 100 - 150 online and live, there will also be late reg and club cash desk buy-ins, I would be shocked if 1058 isnt beaten...1428 would make a £1m prizepool, im sure that level of prizepool would be of interest to the players, stars and us, so lets see what happens at the meeting next week....
