Comments
Sarah Champion is now unavailable for the Main Event, but will be there late afternoon Saturday, & will play the 8pm sidey.
Ana Fowler will be there on the Saturday & Sunday as "Host", & conducting interview things.
Thewy will be there Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, probably binking.
Rich Milner, Head of Poker, is expected to "play" the Main Event, although he is about as good as Orford at Poker.
Adam Harmer, "Head of Product", will be prewent, & will be giving demonstrations, to those interested, of the new, imminent, Sky Poker software tweaks, bells, whistles, & things.
Bedfordshire's finest, Chompy IMO, will be playing, albeit briefly. He thinks 9-3 is the nuts, lives in the Fens, & supports Peterborough FC. 'Nuff said.
TommyD, Gliterbabe, Scotty, Sam1986, DanTB10, Penguin7, as well as lesser players like Solack will all be playing, too.
Manage to qualify first try for this which Im buzzing about!
Got a slight problem/query....
Im working Saturday and won't be able to make it to the casino till one of the following two times:
1.45pm
or
4.45pm
I was wondering how registration works? I already have my seat booked but obviously you guys need to know i AM playing....I want to confirm i am 100% playing but just not sure what time I will turn up so may have to be blinded out if it's the later of the two times....
If it's 1.45pm then obviously Ill be there for the start but wont be able to register till Im there...Unless I can phone up and register over the phone?
Any help would be great. Thanks guys.
No problem anyway, you either arrive for the start or if you arrive later your chips will be in play, blinding away
As it is a two day, deepstack, slow clock you'll have plenty of chips still at 5pm
If you can give me your real name please, I will double check the player list before the comp starts on the day in case you aren't there for the start
I just wasn't sure if you had to pre-register for the actual comp to let you guys know Im there...as in sign in?
My real name is: ADAM NEAL
I'll be able to let you guys know by the end of the weekend if I'll be there from the start, hoping I will be.
Thanks for the response SPT.
Just to confirm....I will be there on time! Managed to finish work at 11.45 and it's only an hour journey so will be up there for 1pm! Perfect!
Look forward to catching up with some of the guys.
45min levels defo? They playing them in batches of three or four? Is there an hour dinner break for the buffet or is it just 15mins and grab some nosh-type thing?
45 minutes for dinner day 1
Hopefully I run better this time, ran my 10s in to 44s on a 5 4 4 board at the last SPT I went too...
filming on the day, televised on dates after. times will be published on the forum
In Response to Re: SPT 2011-12 Leg 3 Luton 28-29 January: Player Briefing:
probably a few seats available from midday saturday at the venue
7.30pm onwards, the comp starts at 8pm
Is there a cheaper torney available on the Friday other than the Sky £100 buy-in, a couple people asked me??
