EPT Lenton Industrial Estate



It's a damn shame because the venue is absolutely amazing other than where it is.

It'd be a perfect EPT venue I just don't think EPT Nottingham is going to strike the right chord unfortunately.

LOL n1 matt

I think pokerstars should be forwarded this as a formal proposal for EPT Lenton Industrial estate i dont really see how they can say no!

We have cancelled our online satelittes we had planned for Wednesday and Thursday as we don't have any seats left for Friday and only a handful for Thursday, however we will be doing LAST CHANCE SALOON Mega Sats Online and in the Club;

-  Online 10 seats GTE Monday and Tuesday night, €100 with feeders
-  Club 20 seats GTE Monday and Tuesday night, £100

PokerStars have 30 seats left for Thursday, so you can buy in through their client, and we have 7 seats left, we may be able to pinch a few of their Thursday allocation as they are only running sats into Day 1a now.

Last year 150 players were knocked out in the first 6 levels, so we will try and get as many alternates in as possible on Thursday and Friday, the average stack will be around 20,000 by Level 6, so even players that don't get in till the very end of the alternate period, they will have a very playable chips stack of 50BB

But if you want to play from the start, Wednesday is the best day, or grab one of the remaining seats on Thursday

We have groups of players coming over from Sweden, Norway, Holland, its going to be a fun week. I have many personal friends coming over so Im looking forward to it.

I'm shattered, still in Dublin, fly back tomorrow, the DTD team have done excellent in marketing this event, 5000 + views on our UKIPT News item, thanks to everyone that has helped get the word out and good luck to the winner of the free seat, whoever that is.

Cheers Rob

Great effort Rob and massive well done for taking the risk of the 1m on, glad you've been rewarded. It should be a great week for the club, looking forward to it.

[smashedagain]

I bet there is at least 300 players out there who are thinking "it's gonna be ok. I'm just gonna turn up early Friday morning and be first on the alternates list". Gl

Okay;

1. PokerStars have stopped taking direct buy-ins apart from Day 1a
2. Day 1b and Day 1c are basically sold out give unless a player moves or Pokerstars give us a few seats back that they have reserved for their pros
3. We have around 100 seats left for Day 1a

If someone is desperate for a Friday Day 1c or Thursday Day 1b seat and CANNOT PLAY THE EVENT OTHERWISE please PM me on here and I will see what I can do in terms of swopping players round that I know do not mind moving to Day 1a, BUT NO PROMISES OKAY!
