"Looks like the £100,000 guarantee is going to be hit in the £150, we had 317 entries on Day 1a today leaving 350 required for the guarantee, should hit somewhere between 450 - 500 tomorrow!

We had our first 10 seats guaranteed UKIPT satellite tonight and got a £1500 overlay, there is another one tomorrow at 8pm. Day 1b is nearly sold out in the UKIPT and the rate the seats are selling via direct buyins from the shop and over the counter it looks like Day 1a will also sell out in advance so don't leave it any longer unless you happy to be an alternate.

 Assuming we hit the cap each day we need just 78 alternates over 3 days to hit the MILLION, the first guarantee we ever did was in our £300 Deepstack in Feb 08 and was £25,000, this grew to £100,000 in Nov 2010 then we had £250,000 in our £500 Deepstack and now £1,000,000, we haven't done it yet but would you bet aginst it? Cheers ACES"
