The dangerman in Day 2 of the £250K Grand Prix at DTD this weekend could be 79 year old, Paul Yong - yes Rob's Dad! He has 185K chips, blinds start at 1k-2k so 87 bigs. Highly unpredictable player!



So far we have 1200 entries for this Grand Prix, the GTE is £250K sterling so we need 3333 equivalent entries.

You can buy in at DTD for £75+£10 or play online on partypoker. Remaining Live Day 1s are Fri (5pm and 8pm at DTD) and Sat (1pm 5pm 8pm), there are Online Day 1s Fri and Sat at 7pm and 9pm, that leaves 9 in total.

On Day 2 at 12pm the blinds are rolled back to 1k-2k (average 100 bigs) and same as the Grand Prix in Canada - players still have the option to buy into Day 2 for £550 and get a 200k stack.

Good luck all - Aces

I remember when these grands prix used to be far more of a level playing field and if you made day two you cashed or were very close.

I used to enjoy them and played in every one.

Now they're just a huge satellite-tree for the little guys to fund a mini-high-roller for those with bigger bankrolls.
