Sky Poker Tour London: 23-24 March 2013

SPT

DIRECT BUY IN for SPT Stratford opens today, will be in the Tournament lobby shortly

Hotel deal??

SPT

Still waiting, frustratingly. The TD there has been doing a big tournament in Copenhagen

Its the Holiday Inn Westfield next to the casino, try ringing them and see if they have the rate please, while I chase for that elusive email!

SPT

Alternatively, there are lots and lots of b and b's etc within a few miles of the site.

I got one for £70 for 2 nights so not too bad

That will probably be cheaper than the hotel deal anyway!

Is this definitely the confirmed structure?

SPT

Yes

Looks good?

The Friday tournament Rich?

SPT

There isn't a Sky event because Fast Track Poker had booked in an event for Friday 22nd, which I found out when arranging sides....

You can buy in (£50 NLHEplus fees) through their site

It will sell out before the night

Next Wednesday night, £20 rebuy at Aspers Stratford

No cap on the number of seats available, so every £220 in the prize pool makes a seat

SPT

The prize pool for SPT London is £30,000 Guaranteed, so minimum that and over if we go over 150 runners

In isolation, ie irrespective of any other event.

thebolx

If Day 1 starts around 2pm, what time does Day 2 start (should one manage to survive Day 1 !) ?

And is there a briefing before tournament starts on things like chip values, table etiquette, etc for the casino virgins?

bbMike

Hi could you tell me whether we need to register at the casino either beforehand or on the day? Thanks.

Does anyone know what is happening about hotel accommodation deal with the casino?

SPT

Not formally, but apparently there is a poker rate with the Holiday Inn Stratford

Please try that when you ring up and let me know

Casino is doing a WPT and the Party Premier League at the moment, answers are scarce!
