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

[TightEnd]

Simon Trumper interviewed on the ISPT

[MC]

In the video Simon says average stack will be 'approximately' 50k chips. I thought he had mispoken at first, but am I right in thinking this is because of the possible effect forfeited chip stacks will have? So infact, assuming there are forfeited chip stacks, the average stack will be slightly less than 50k?

Great vid, adds a lot of info, thanks.

- If you qualify from an early Day one with a tiny stack do you forefeit it as soon as you enter another Day 1, or just if you make it through another Day 1?
- Surely the €2 sats will be rebuys?
- Is it best to sign-up to DTD in £ or $, or doesn't it matter?

They don't only forfeit their stack they also forfeit their place. So assuming they forfeit a lower than average stack it will always be slightly higher.

Example:

10 people qualify. 8 have 50k, 1 has 75k and 1 has 25k.

If 25k dude forfeits his stack there's 475k but it's split between 9 so 52.8k average

1 You forfeit it as soon as you enter another Day 1

2 The €2 feeders into the €30s are rebuys, yes

3 Up to you, most are in £ (DTD's players), some play in €

As usual, if you can share the video on facebook, or tweet it, DTD would be enormously grateful

A major challenge here is to get awareness as high as possible before the satellite feeders start, over and above those who are regular users of forums

thanks

Sigh that I couldn't work that out for myself!

Thanks though

Really surprised they're allowing deals.

Really surprised they're allowing deals.

You should not be, it would be impractical not to allow deals with a GTE top the winner of €1M, the difference between 1st and 2nd could be too big.In reality, if there are 1000 players and therefore a €460k overlay, I would expect the final table players to probably spread the €460k over all the places. Simon and me will be there to advise.

I didn't add that I thought it was a good thing

Just expected you'd want it to play out and thought it'd been fair enough if you did with putting up such a huge, and high risk, guarantee.

May have already been asked but anyway...

Can you win more than 1 Day 2 seat to use as a second bullet?

Yes, win as many Day 1 seats as you like, when you make Day 2, the remaining seats are refunded. Cheers Rob

Sorry probably the way I worded it....What I mean is, can you win multiple €3k Day 2 seats to use for a re-entry?

Hi guys....cant seem to find an answer to the above, could Simon clarify please.
