Are you sure? Don't want to put anyone off, but I checked last night when hornet first flagged it up, and my watch said 9:42pm when their lobby said "23 hr 18m 'til tournament starts".

I'll be logging in early, but expect it to be a 9pm start.

[slick mick]

Checked at 1:10pm and it starts in 6 hours 50 minutes so that's 8pm GMT.

[the croc]

where the fcuk was i for the first 3
good look to everyone in this series,see you in the final

[runadrum]

out first hand with KK (clubs and spades)

didn't raise big enough pre-flop so called by 3 others including one with Ac rag so that when flop came 345 all clubs he stayed in, the 2 on the turn made him his straight, the 10c his flush on the river



now just seen the same player beat KK with QTc - flush on the turn

[friskyfitz]

unlucky Runa..

Not gotten anything much in 4 played hands - pocket 4's drew a re-raiser which I called and a K,Q,x flop so I buggered off..

Could be a very quick night for me..

Any chance of posting up the points breakdown in post 1 gazza? I'm finding it quite hard to find them listed anywhere on the PP or Betfair websites.

Thanks in advance.

Red.

[GotaFancy?]

Doesn't look like a points structure has been published yet Just 5 points for playing, 5 points for a bounty and then "extra" for top 30

not a complete waste then

Do you think they class first hand elimination as having played?
