I haven't played one of these before but Rob Yong has guaranteed the UKIPT leg at DTD at £1m. I have avoided them before as 4 day £500 tourneys have limited appeal. The guarantee was too good an opportunity to miss. I am pretty sure it is the Grand National weekend, which is the weekend after easter. The good thing is I am likely to be gone by the race start time.
They are having 3 start days, so if you want Friday I'd sign up pretty quickly. I signed up on the stars site, there are 30 seats already bought there and they have a limit of 100, so guess they'll be gone by the end of the week.
Anybody else fancy it? Keith, Klup, Wonky, Variance up for a DTD raiding party again? Wonky, you selling? Variance, you booking the hotel?
yeh should have mentioned the buyin has gone up. It wasn't a deliberate omission, that made it more likely I played too.
I expect selling 400 seats on the wednesday is a big ask. Even if they hit, the £250k for first still appeals.

Im tempted to play Doobs - but £770 is above my budget in April.
I would not mind £300 buy in if i could sell 60% for the remaining £470.
Also - happy to buy a piece of you wonky - if you decide to go.

I should be OK, as the buyin is less than the dreaded £1000. wp stars.
It doesn't seem to be selling out as quick as I expected, still 30 odd tickets available on stars for the Friday.
Please note: If you buy through stars anything over 2k goes in your stars account

Booked Holiday Inn Nottingham, which is nearer the club than the one we stayed in last time. It is £65 a night, but taxi is probably a bit cheaper.
Will take 10% if you are selling Klup.

Well the good news is I had a 530% increase in bankroll since Wednesday thanks to binking virtually every tournie I've played in.
Bad news is BR still does not quite cover the entry :D

Hi Doobs - looks very much like I will make it. But I actually can play day 1b or day 1c. I prefer 1c as I have football training on Saturday and ideally dont want a late friday.
[x] klup expects to go deep!

PLEASE LET ANYONE KNOW THAT CANT PLAY DAY WED 1A THAT THEY NEED TO BUY IN ASAP
POKER STARS NUMBERS ARE WAY OVER THEIR ORIGINAL PREDICTIONS OF 500-600, NOW MORE LIKE 800, THEY MADE 28 SEATS ON-LINE LAST NIGHT AND OF COURSE, ITS THEIR EVENT, THEY HAVE THE PRIORITY WHEN IT COMES TO SEAT ALLOCATION WHICH WAS AGREED AT THE OUTSET.
I am guessing day 1B must be pretty close to sold out now. It would be astonishing if they could meet this guarantee. I am really looking forward to it.
I just spotted this update from yesterdayhttp://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=57089.msg1540626#msg1540626IMPORTANT - DIRECT BUY-INS ARE INCREASINGFRIDAY DAY 1C - SOLD OUTDAY 1B - 55 SEATS LEFTDAY 1A - 356 SEATS LEFTPLEASE LET ANYONE KNOW THAT
Ive bought into Day 1b - tried to post here a couple days back but message "sorry you are not permitted to post here" popped up!
I get it about 30% of the time - so frustrating as i have to retype the entire message again!

There is a queue out the door for late entries/alternates on day 1a. That is astonishing, I am hoping I can get in the door before the start time on Friday. I am going to have to set off early I think. It is going to well and truly bust the guarantee.
