I dint play the HU event last year depending on structure I might be interested but it as people have said the stacks need to be good enough to have some play no point playing bingo all in because of the blinds etc.

Well I"ve got a couple of weeks to get the £££ to enter the side events or main event best get some cash games on the go haha

Early request in for 4,000 chips in the Heads Up early rounds, say 6,000 for the semis and the final at 10k. Last year was over in the blink of an eye and this increase would only mean the first round lasting 20 mins longer on average.


2 observations:

I agree with the above as based on last year"s structure any fish could"ve binked this  ;D (just kidding Dave)

No matter what structure you amend it to I doubt Tompkeyfish gets to the 2nd Round  :o

Bear in mind guys that the side events will be likely to sellout in a blink of an eye.

They have always been more popular than the main event (only due to the large available runners in ME), so you"ll need to be quick to snap up your choice of events.

Side Event Caps from 2010

Heads Up - 32 players
PLO - 81 runners
6-Max - 60 runners
Stud - 49 runners
HORSE - 48 runners


This is just an indication towards this years event. Nothing announced yet.   ;)

It has always seemed a bit silly to me to have these champs at such a spacious room as DTD and then limit numbers like this. Can we look to squeeze DTD for extra tables if any of these comps do sell out extra fast as the need would clearly be there.

2010 WCOAP HORSE Silver
2011 WCOAP STUD Gold
2011 WCOAP Online OMAHA HI/Lo Gold
2012 GUKPT Bolton PLO Champion
2014 WCOAP OMAHA HI/LO Silver
2018 WCOAP TRIPLE STUD Gold
2019 The COUNTIES Gold

Heads up must be an expense issue.(16 dealers needed for round 1)
stud and HORSE is a dealer issue (as in not enough trained in those games)

PLO and 6 max, however could have much bigger fields, but then again they are designed to finish in one day.

Do they play the first round HU matches all at once,  they could do it in a groups? less dealers less expense

could someone tell me what happens if you reg for the 6 max and plo comp but you dont bust the main event on day 1? can you get your money back if your still in on the 28th and 29th??


You can try and sell your seat locally or on the Seat Exchange but there won"t be any refunds.

You shouldn"t have any trouble selling it...demand is usually high.

Nope...multi-tabling is not permitted.

Schedule wisely.

I"m not sure of any satellite/buy-in dates but I understand that these will be announced soon.

I"ll be putting up a Travel Tips thread in a couple of days.

They need 32 dealers for round 1, they use 2 dealers per table to keep the game running.
