Donation made. Sorry it couldn"t be more.

Fantastic gesture Carl.

If I am able to play this and I luckbox my way to the seat I won"t be giving 50% of my winnings to the charity!!

If it"s ok I"d like to give them 49% and then give APAT it"s usual 1% stakers fee  :)

Donated. Will play the online event when I win the freeroll (bubbled FT in S1) and will donate 50% of my winnings.

What an awesome idea Carl, very generous from a top bloke. No idea if I can play the freeroll, not really bothered either way. If I do luckbox a seat, it"ll be 50/50 with the charity on the winnings.

Wow what can I say, I"m blown away from the response from you guys.. You are all so generous in a matter of only 24hours you have raised over £366!!  :o

I can"t thank you all enough, when I first stated I wanted a small donation I was honestly meaning £2-5 you all have exceeded this, with Christmas coming up it is amazing you have dug so deep!! Thank you thank you thank you xxx

So I have just spoken to Matt and we have discussed the date, time and structure etc.. Matt has sent the details of to BOSS and we hope the tournament will be up in the lobby in the next 24hours or so..

So we decided upon the following... I hope this will accommodate the majority as I really would love to see all those who have donated so generously play, if by any way you can"t play im very grateful and if we meet up at a future APAT event there will be a Vimto with your name on it at the bar..

So we have decided the date will be Sunday 23rd December 8.00pm.. I understand that also this evening the bunch of Fives and also another free roll will be running at 7.00pm so this will mean that the talented bunch of sharks who this affects will also have to use their multi tabling skills to test!!


Structure will be 5,000 starting stack, and 15 min blinds

Now Matt came up with what I think is a very good idea, being a free roll and playing for just one prize would be a little harsh on the runner up.. So we came to a decision that the winner of the seat, if they went on to cash would win 80% of the prize pool, the runner up and third place finishers would then each have a 10% stake of the winner.. Now I know that a few kind hearted people have pledged to give a % of their winnings back to Muscular Dystrophy, I would totally understand if they wanted to amend this offer or even withdraw this offer if in fact they won the seat and did go and cash..

Oh and as an added bit of festive fun.. I will be placing a bounty on one of your heads!! The winner will be recieving a spot prize in the post.. The player has not yet been picked, but will be picked fairly by means of a FAIR drawn done by my youngest daughter  ;) honestly it will be fair.. Watch this space..

So all I need to say now is good luck to all those entering, I would love the winner to bink hard and win the lot!! Unless it"s the Southend leg then second would be great also xx

Password will be sent to all those donated once tournament is up in lobby

Thanks guys love you all  :)

On current form there isn"t a snowball in hell"s chance of me winning the seat, but I"ve sent you a few quid anyway. What a humbling gesture on your part

I"ve stuck 15 min of late reg on :) That means you all have until 8.14 and 59 seconds on 23rd of December to register. Registration opens at 8pm on 22nd December though, so I"m hoping everyone who wants to play will get a chance to register in those 24 hours :)
