Questions for you

- Are you intending to play?

- Are you intending to satellite, live or online?


How many runners do you think the UKIPT HR will get next week?

[arbboy]

I will play the live sat on sunday if i make the final day of this month's DS.  Would have played a couple of online sats if they were running on dtd/ipoker as i don't have a stars account.

I would imagine it will easily get the gtd.

I posted to Simon in the other thread but I wasn't sure if he knew this coincided with scoop? I'm not going to travel because of it unfortunately..

The 6th is one of the bigger events (super Tuesday special) and also has the popular heads up event.

The 75) is the 2k sko that everybody loves.

I imagine people like momentmori or other Europeans who follow the tour won't be going and even max silvers/brammers etc may fade too.

Should be a good field though.

Hi Pleno,

This was the only week available really to us - originally the UKIPT Nottingham was scheduled a week earlier so would have not clashed with SCOOP, but then we had to move a week due to EPT Monte Carlo moving a week forward.

The High Roller £150K GTE was doubled to £300K to attract the non UK players who are travelling over to play the £1M (we expect 200 non UK players in the £1K main), we have added a extra Sunday 5 seat GTD satellite plus PokerStars are running a couple of online sats on Thu and Sun, so hopefully we will generate an extra 8-10 qualifiers.  

On the basis that this is a 'bigger' event that Sky UKPC at £300K GTD rather than £150K GTD, you would hope we could get at least the same field as the Sky UKPC (78), + 8 extra qualifers + extra 15 players from outside of the UK, getting us over the 100 mark, that's the theory anyway.

Cheers ACES

i'll be playing

[NigDawG]

think that sunday night stars satellite could have been more ambitious too

[robyong]

i'll be playing

Noway brams let's me down pleno - he's Chairman of the DTD player committee

Yeh - 1 seat Thu and 2 seats Sun not risking it all on a roulette wheel but stars don't normally run HR sats so we are grateful that they have done this for us

Cya next week mate

[action man]

in the sat tonight, come and get it

High Roller satellite

was originally cancelled because it did not get the runners (less than 10 at start time)

£150 rb with 5 £3300 seats GTD

is now going to start at 9pm, late registration til 11.20pm

"we went round and got 14 runners, going to take a gamble and start it" says Simon on the mike...

that's a "can do" attitude even though its likely to cost ££££

if you fancy a stab at the value for the HR, get here by 11.20pm

We made the 5 seats by the skin of our teeth.

Expecting to be busier tonight for the next High Roller 5 seats GTD.

Then we have squeaky bum time sweating the £300K GTD, we wanted to really get behind all side events for our festivals by putting on decent GTE's for players at all levels, this was an ambitious step to double the £150K to £300K, hopefully this will incentivise more players to travel. Currently we have 125 non UK players registered for the £1K main, we can only hit this £300K if some of these players decide to come early for the High Roller.
