For those of you that live near Stoke, we are giving the top two in tonights £25 Freezeout (9.00pm start) a seat, worth £165 in the Anniversary Cup and adding £200 to the prizefund. Thats a whopping £530 added value.
Single Table satellites will run in the Casino every night.

If you can"t make it to the casino. There is a £15 (+£1.50) Freezout satellite on CircusPoker, at 7.00pm, this already has 10 entries, 9 hours before the start.

There is a £5 + 50p rebuy (1500 chips) Satellite on Friday at 7.00pm - add on available for £5 (3000 chips)

Alternatively you can buy in direct on CircusPoker for £165 (this method on entry closes at 10.00am on Sunday)

I know it"s hard to estimate but what would be the eta on finish time?

i asked on another forum and was told they chopped at 5am last year, which means i aren"t going

Yes it was a chop and with more players this year it will be even worse. Really needs to be a 2 day event. And how bout doing it on a Saturday those people who are gainfully employed can attend?

[deanp27]

considered it because just dropped GF off at Manchester Airport and therefore in the area but i have to be in work at 7.30am Monday so its not really viable.

sigh at decent comps being on a Sunday

I actually like the fact it"s a one dayer but wish it was on a Sat. No way I can play either due to work which is a shame

[blazingsaddler]

Well that was busy, I"m still recovering from my 19 hour working day!

320 started, 24 alternates, leaving around 60 others on the alternate list who didn"t get a seat.
The last available seat was taken just after 11.00am and that was only available because we had borrowed a table from another Circus Casino overnight.
Final table started at 2.00am and finished around 4.30am, no chip count needed
The only deal done was a chop, of sorts, between the last two, they toook £10k apiece and played on for the other £2k and a £700 seat in a WPT satellite.

We are going to do a similar comp again, with £4000 added, on the 7th November..full details will be announced soon

Sounded like a good tourny, but for a final table to start so late maybe the starting time of the tourney should of been a coupple of hrs earlier, unless of course it is a 2 dayer.
