It"s likely to be NLHE and PLO STT"s, NLHE Heads Up, and NLHE MTT, but we are just finalising that with the venue.

Why the change from previous years to include PLO ?

We ran one round of PLO in the home internationals in Newcastle, and it proved very popular.  For that event, every player had to play one STT of PLO.  Nothing is finalised as yet.

fwiw - I like the idea of PLO in there.  Adds something else to the mix and make it a unique tournament.

I"ve bought in to Day 1a and the six max via the DTD client. Will participants in the Team Championships also have to buy in via DTD on line ?
