Official ISPT Wembley thread: DTD partner with ISPT and guarantee first at €1m

[DaveShoelace]

Tighty - get adsense on this thread, you'll probably cover half the guarantee

[TightEnd]

I want to see Tighty galloping around Wembly trying to take photos on request.

I think I will put together an updating team, numbers to be confirmed

Thinking about bikes along the touchline, tbh.

Silly season

[LB44]

Wow...just wow at this!

Imagine they wanna make it £1m for first for big advertising ect so imagine if they said no deals allowed and your heads up playing for £100,000 or £1,000,000 AK v QQ yikes!!!

So the rumours were true! #DTDGOTBALLS

May 31st-June 5th still the dates?

Certainly a good idea to move over to Ipoker to help with sat numbers.


Can't wait to win this. Best get them feeders up and running soon.

I'd urge caution please on some of the comments I have seen on twitter etc as to who is on the hook for what of the 1m GTE

Simon and Rob can explain later, as to reassurances to players for the guarantee, what their financial risk is etc

I can't really blame people - one company is massively trustworthy and the other is the complete opposite.

Wowsers hope it works out

Be interesting to see how this pans out gl them

Not blaming anyone

As soon as the Q and A is complete, a lot more will be clear

I wrote the questions, and they are pretty comprehensive I hope

I love DTD.

Let me make that clear, DTD are the BEST thing that ever happened to UK poker, hands down.

But never before in the history of the game has there been a poker event people have wanted to fail more than the ISPT. The company involved have lied through their teeth, the poker community don't believe in the concept, they have partnered with Lock Poker, the shadiest site still in existence. If DTD had been involved from the start, I think everyone would have believed in the event, but I fear it's too late.

I hope I'm wrong.

Now a constructive question - are DTD guaranteeing just the first place prize and the ISPT guaranteeing the remaining €4 million proposed?

This so so so much.

<3 DTD hope it all goes well.

Wow, really thought we would see nothing like the UKIPT £1mil GTD for a long long time...

Guess that long long time is within a year. Incredible

[millidonk]

Hope the valets bring stuff on their back else we will be waiting an age.

Could do with a few guys dashing hotdogs out like in the states. "Hat Dawg"

[Woodsey]

Bloody hell, hope it works out!

Completely blown away by this announcement. I suddenly now wish the whole project unabated success.
