Starting stack is 10k with 45 minute levels.
Unfortunately, it is now sold out.

It"s due to the recession, even Sky are having to cut back in the wake of the Setanta fiasco ;)
It"s 10,000 chips really
-
Sold out as in 270? The Sky lobby suggests there are 214 - is the remainder people who"ve registered direct at DTD in person?
Looking forward to it...

Brian,
I"m going on a thread from Blonde that Tikay is posting on.
Totally sold out according to him.
Hence why they reduced the numbers in the sky lobby.

It took some finding, not the simplest of websites to get around.
Am I allowed to say that ? ;D
-
Yes, but you"ll have to get in the queue :D Still, I"m confident something can be done about that...
-
Here at DTD, the place is pretty packed. Too many APATers to mention, but Des is in charge of updates on Sky Poker, so get on there to rail and comment.
Good luck all.

Well had a grand time today, Helen railing and I was creating some fun table banter, finally went out with my pocket Queens open shoving pre called by Ace King.
King flopped.
Did have the honour of taking out the first player, his stack was crippled and left him with 900 which he shove, I called with Ace Jack and he showed pocket 8"s.
Get to the River needing to hit an Ace, a Jack or a Five to make a straight.
I tell him I have LOADS of outs and promptly hit the 5.
Ahem.
-
terrific tourney....bit gutted to go out on the VERY LAST HAND of day one though !
2 hands earlier, I see the buttons all-in shove as a steal. I have a similar 17k stack and with the average at 37k and facing a drive back here tomorrow with 6 bb"s, a call with my A-10 clubs isn"t too difficult. He shows A-8.....but rivers his 3-outer to leave me with 900 chips.
I doubled twice to get to 8300 before exiting with K-9 vs A-2.
As always, great to see such a good APAT turnout here and to catch up with friends old and new. Good Luck to you all tomorrow.
-
Just thought I"d bok myself by saying I"m still in. Super-short on 31k but anything can happen.
Really pleased with how I played yesterday regardless, while mostly card dead.
Great tourny - hope I"m there for more than 10 mins today...
-
An interesting tournament with a heck of a range of abilities - from complete novice online qualifiers in their first live tourney to seasoned pro"s and even a bracelet holder!!
Had a great run and pushed up to around 40k, but then had a tale of two crashes..... in a battle of the blinds, ran AK into QT on a AKJ flop and lost more then half my stack. Then when around 12 BBs, open shoved with AK and was called by KQ..... of course the first card out was a Q.
Good to see so many APATers there - was like an APAT away-day!!
-
Chris Filus (AKA 1foggy1) has made the money,currently 26 left and pays 27.
Good luck mate,TID for the Brummie poker club.

Feel free to retrospectively bold me too. Sadly busted out in 30th, mainly cos of QQ broken by QJo (flopped the straight) and a final hand of A9 against A7, the inevitable 7 coming on the flop.
Shame - genuinely felt a big pay day was in me. Definitely the best I"ve played.
GL to those left.

Sorry Paul. I knew you made Day Two because I was sat next to Des when you two spoke at the end of the day.
He said that was Pears27, but I struggled to put a real name to the username.
Well played for the weekend. If you can get through that field to make 30th, there is definitely a pay day around the corner.

C"mon Pete
He did say he was due one.
TID Pete
-
go pete!
-
I"m not sure how, but Pete is out in 3rd.
Sky should really do something about the updater they have for this event. ;D
One of the players was down to the felt, then tripled up and then doubled up.
Eventually Pete was in against the other player (CL) AQ v QQ and no help on the board.
All very confusing, but anyhow, what a fantastic result for the man. Pocketing £6k for his weekend.
Very well done.
-
Congrats Pete.
-
Well done Pete
Good luck in keeping the £££ from Lynne!
-
WP Pete. Was sat next to Pete and it was a good table. He had a bit of luck when he flopped the nut straight and all the chips went it - with the other player having the same hand.
Well, that"s what they thought. Pete had QJd, the other player QJs. With two spades and one diamond on the board the other player thought he was freerolling. Of course, as live poker is so rigged it was obvious to everyone that the turn and river would both be diamonds giving Pete the flush and a nice injection of chips. Looks like he used them well.
Well played sir!

He looks quite menacing, in a nice way. ;D
Nice pic of me (not) was pointing out how funny Mr Simon Trumper looked trying to count on his fingers
while he was looking at the tournament screen. LOL
God knows what he was working out, but I got a wry smile back when he realised I had spotted him and said
"Carefull simon or you"ll need to take your socks "n" shoes off next" ;D
-
Ah that is Pete, nice result for a good guy.
If I remember correctly though Tighty is corect: bugger all chance he is seeing much of that money :D
-
Not sure about the references to me spending his money.
Had a ball went out 15 min before end of day 1. Sunday played in £50 comp donked my chips off to winner so didnt feel to bad about not folding trip Ks.
Went on cash won £27.50. Invested that into £25 comp and managed some how with interupted concentration listening to what was happening to Pete to finish 3rd and won, well £320 so I dont need to borrow Petes YET LOL.
-
Foggy gone in 11th.
vwp Chris
and Duncthehat went out in 13th place
wp sir
Cheers mate - Extreme Short Stack most of Day 2 so well pleased with final place. Foggy played fantastically and was a real shame he didnt make the final table
-
Any hoo now i"ve finally come down off the ceiling. (I think) I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
helped in any way.
First all the many people who came up to me at dtd to congratulate me and to say how well they thought i played
(I don"t know all your names but I was overwhelmed by your comments thankyou very much all of you)
To all the sky staff, Compo,T kay and Des eeh all, what a great bunch of guys.
Des for all your encouragement.
T kay for keeping us laughing with your "French dealer lady table" comments.
All the DTD staff for their professionalism as always this place really is the Ds Bs.
All the dealers especially martyn who always seems to deal good for me"thanks for keeping me in when I called
Kh Qh with my A A and you put an ace on the flop, a heart flush for them on the turn and paired the board for
me on the river for a full house,cheers mate"
It was a pleasure to be sat next to norman pace on table 21 when I had my run of hands quad 9 qqs and trip 9.
And many congratulations to the eventual winner Robbie O"Brien very well done.
Such a solid player,you deserve every success and I enjoyed every minute at the table with you.A veritable
gentelman at such a young age, your parents should be proud of you.(being a grandad myself I should know)
But most of all my thanks go to Lynne my long suffering wife(who also came 3rd in the last event on sunday night
well done).If I am a rock(peter) then she is my mountain and without her i am nothing.
(But don"t tell her I said that)
Thanks Lynne for everything X :-*
