The £1,000 Longshot....First 20 posts get free entry
Hey everyone,
We are going to try something different this evening!
At 8pm, we will have the inaugral running of the '£1,000 Longshot' Tournament.
Entry is just 50p, which gets you 500 chips.
The tournament then has re-buys for 40 minutes (2,000 chip add-on) at a cost of £5.50
After 40 minutes there is then a 5,000 chip add-on at a cost of £5.50!
The guarantee is £1,000 so in theory, for just 50p you could win a huge chunk of £1,000. Not a bad longshot I'd say
The first 20 people to post on this thread that they are playing, will win free entry, and there will be freerolls running all afternoon for free entry!
Let us know how the game plays....and good luck
Joe

btw, what is the clock? 5 minutes?
I will play
That kinda thing has been done loads of times, granted you need a bit of run good but that's why it's called Longshot. That's where the phrase chip and a chair came from, it's been done many a time, and will be done many more times. Greg (I think it was) won the rebuy ME ages ago without a rebuy or an add-on where many would say that's a big disadvantage (it is), these things happen.
Should be good fun.
seing donks posted half on this thread it must be less than 20 players still??
As a side prize....for those who were entered for free via this forum thread....
Whoever goes the furthest in this tournament (you must post on the thread where you finish) will win a £33 Sky Sports Bounty Hunter seat for next Thursday evening at 8pm
Re-buys and add-ons are allowed...!
Definitely worth posting in the thread I'd say. Keep your comments coming and make sure you let us know how it plays
Thanks,
Joe
Thanks for the comments.
The game is simply designed to give someone the chance to win a decent prize for a low buy-in. Of course it is harder without the rebuy addon but it is possible.
This is the first of these and, who knows, they may get bigger. Wouldn't it be cool to say pay £1 and have the chance to win a £10,000 tournament!
It wont take too long before someone wins one for the minimum buy-in.
Thanks
