A disappointing night for UKPC, with just 44 entrants in the weekly Final, which needed 50 to cover, so Overlay City was the name of the game.
Having said that, it still surprises me that the numbers are so high, considering there are still 9 weekly finals to go. Poker players don't generally tend to consider looking too far ahead.
Of those 10 qualifiers, 2 had previously qualified, so the net increase was 8, bringing the UKPC Lobby up to 144, which is, in old money, one third of a gross.
So, this bunch are all sorted, with their passage to Nottingham in February secured.
55 runners last night, so 11 seats, though 4 were qualified already. That takes the Target Event Lobby to 60, with some 7 weeks still to go.
How CTBN won it is one of those mysteries which shall remain forever. How do these things happen?
Dewi-Cool is on fire at the mo, & good to see old Kimpet - "psst, wanna buy a watch, mate?" who came to Vegas for the Main a few years ago with Viva Las Vegas, win a seat.

Hi Alpine, I gave customer care a call and theyve managed to sort it out. Hope you get sorted
You are booked to play on the SATURDAY, as I stated previously.
T & C's clearly say......
"To have the chance of winning a Sky Poker UK Poker Championships Main Event seat you can qualify either via satellites or by direct buy-in at the event venue, Dusk Till Dawn. Successful players will be entered into Day 1C, which commences on Saturday 27th February 2015 at 12.00pm."
I imagine that you will receive a correction from Sky Poker shortly, confirming that it the Saturday.

Hi TK, I would like to play on Day1A (Thurs) if possible, to allow multiple bullets, and possibly get a day's rest with any luck. There is a chance I may be in the high roller, but only if I satellite in, in the first place, AND make day2 (not very likely).
Who do I need to speak to, to change my Main Event entry to Thursday? (Day1A)
Following on from something Graham mentioned... I know Sky won't be doing them but do you know if Party are running satellites for the other events (I'm mainly wondering about the HR) during the festival and are they running now?
Maybe Graham can answer me if it's frowned upon for Tikay/Sky to be advertising games on other sites.

No idea Paul, but I imagine so, yes.
I expect they will run "Live" Super Sats, too.
You are a Member of another Forum which is sponsored by DTD, & they have a thread for UKPC - why not ask there?
Cheers Tikay, didn't even think of that (or knew that forum had a dedicated thread), I don't pop over there that often and usually just to check a few of the diaries I frequent.

Last night's qualifiers were.....
Of those 10 qualifiers, 2 had previously qualified, so the net increase was 8, bringing the UKPC Lobby up to 144, which is, in old money, one third of a gross.
So, this bunch are all sorted, with their passage to Nottingham in February secured.
Meanwhile, amidst all the UKOPS hoohah, don't forget the weekly UKPC Final is at 9.15pm this evening.
With 10 x £1,100 seats guaranteed, & needing 50 entrants to cover, just 38 are in so far.
I smell overlay here, more value than Tesco.
These are the 38 in as of now......

Somehow, despite only 38 registered yesterday morning, last night's UKPC Final got over the line with 53 entrants, so that was good.
However, 45 of them had qualified already, so it only added 6 to the Nottingham Final Lobby.
Those who "won" yesterday included Misty4Me, STAYORGO, I8PALACE, RSPCA12, Nutter5932, Dustolucko & FeelGroggy.
So, with just shy of 2 months to go, this crew are all set for the £1 million Guaranteed Sky Poker UKPC.
With 10 x £1,100 seats guaranteed, & needing 50 entrants to cover, 42 are in so far.
Satellites & feeders will be running throughout today.

Hi Graham,
Just arrive a bit early, & come see Tighty or me, & we'll sort it.
Quick reminder that the Weekly Final is tonight, at 9.15pm.
10 seats are guaranteed, at 1 in 5, & just 41 qualified for tonight so far.
58 runners in last night's Final, so 11 seats & a bit of cash.
No idea how many had already qualified, but these were last night's winners......
I expect they will run "Live" Super Sats, too.

Reminder, tonight sees another weekly Final for the UKPC, with 10 x £1,100 seats guaranteed, on a 1 in 5 basis.
Just 39 runners so far regged for tonight.
Plenty of feeders & satellites today.
The UKPC is just over a month away.
56 runners last night, so 11 seats & a bit of cash for 12th.
Not sure how many were previously qualified - 5 or 6 I suspect - but the Target Event now has over 100 names.
Here's last night's result.
With 10 x £1,100 seats guaranteed, & needing 50 entrants to cover, 28 are in so far.
Satellites & feeders will be running throughout today.
