For the UKIPT we are offering a free service from Dublin Airport terminal 1 at the following times on a specially branded Full Tilt Poker bus with complimentary beers and we are even working on having Sit & Go tournaments available throughout the journey:

Wednesday 7th 18.30 Coach bay Dublin airport terminal 1 Direct to Galway City Centre
Thursday 8th 13.00 Coach bay Dublin airport terminal 1 Direct to Galway City Centre
Thursday 8th 19.30 Coach bay Dublin airport terminal 1 Direct to Galway City Centre



Well this sounds pretty good and flying to Dublin is cheaper. How do I guarantee myself and my friends a seat on this coach?

If its citilink I booked online a few days in advance online, bus wasn't busy though.

That's not the full tilt coach though is it Mr ambassador?

The format for the "UK v Ireland" heads up is a bit strange..

Looks more like a regular heads up tournie to me!

4 x 16 matches would have been more fun surely?

Now it looks like they've tinkered with the structure to make it completely indecipherable!

This is a car crash:

http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/blog/uk-vs-ireland-heads-up/

Why didn't they just play it as team event?

Seems like the GB v Ireland match has 7 Brits and one Dane left!

Why didn't they just have a random draw, everyone plays 4 matches against different members of the opposing team.

64 total matches.

Each player puts in 1k, Pokerstars adds 18k - winning team gets 50k.

Simples!

I dont get the problem keith? It's abit of banter and gives the event some extra spice a marketing. If there was a HU sng tournament would it have got 64 runners? Would jake Cody, Matt perrins, Claypole and other big names go To Galway and be there for 10 days before ukipt started?


Great marketing IMO and banter seems fun as well.

Two tables of €5/€10 running tonight one that was five handed and another full ring.  Few Irish punters sitting pretty deep. I think then a couple of 2/5 and 1/2.  General view is will be quiet this week with a few Irish punters from races however will busy weekend when they have this accumulator comp and it's the busiest weekend of the year in Galway

Don't understand why it was marketed as GB v Ireland if it was a straight knockout tournament.

They was even a GB v Ireland score on the website. Which was redundant as all the Irish lads were busted out.

Could have been a great craic if it really was GB v Ireland as advertised, but as it was, it was just another tournament.

Kieth:

Initially the plan was to have 3 "1st round matches" (would b 3x 16 match, all UK vs Irl) accumulating points then the top 8 progress to a KO format drawing as UK vs Irl as much as possible (might be 1 Irl vs Irl or Eng vs Eng or w/e) and points based on finishing positions for the team standings.

The it was pointed out that this would take ages so the structure was adjusted to a straight knockout comp, with points awarded to the team based on each players finishing position, and whoever got the most points would be the winning team and the players were playing for individual prizemoney. The draw was always adjjusted so it would be IRL vs UK wherever possible. There was a ton of banter going on between the matches, everyone was taking it pretty liberally lots of us were drinking pretty heavily lol and it was actually a great laugh. would have been better if more irish guys made it to the last 8 so we could sweat the team results, but still a good laugh..
