Last night (Sunday) I fancied a few short games to kill an hour and noticed I was just 2 points off getting the first points reward.
I haven't earned enough points in a long while so decided I would play a £2.20 DYM and get my 2 points.
(It was almost a freebie as you get a £2.20 token as well for reaching 50 points)

There was a £2.20 DYM waiting for 1 player. I clicked it and got the tournament full notice.
Drat, but there was another waiting for 2 players - same thing - full

I looked in 'tournaments' and the 8:00pm £2.20 BH had just started, so I joined. (343 players)
I plodded on nicely and took a few bounties so it was all gravy from now on.

At 5 minutes to midnight (when no more points would be counted for the week) I was heads up on the final table.
I was massively outgunned (something like 80K to 450K) and had no choice but to try a few double ups.

At 2 minutes to midnight with AA I was flushed out (£60 odd quid though for 2nd and bounties)

I went to the HOME page at 23:59PM and saw my 2 points added.
Phew :)

    Ha, great story - don't get better than that. Win-win-win.

    Well done.

    Never thought of that - what a frustration that would have been. The wins keep coming.

    I've thought about that (break at 11:55) and realised I might have been luckier than I thought.
    I think I actually went out with AA, dead on 11:55 and there probably would have been a break with my 2 points going on to Mondays pile.
    I gave my timings backwards from looking at the HOME page (11:59)

    Do the tables go on a break with just 2 players left? I suspect they do.

    Double phew :) AA for the win/lose hehe

    You only get the £2.30 token when you reach 100 pts

    Ah right Stoke. It was late last night. I saw the 50 points and must have mistaken the message reach 100 for a token. :)

    Not quite as close as we initially thought. Still a nice bink though.
