Anyone seen that Tourney in the Lobby - £220 to enter?

See "Sky Sports Double Stack", 29th April, & thereafter on the last Thursday of every month.

It's on t'telly, too.

Note, it's capped at fifty runners.

Satellites are available.

More news about this when it arrives. ;)

    Looks good, why only £8k prize pool though? Surely 50 X £200 = £10k???

    In case only 40 players enter, if the whole 50 play then i presume it will be £10,000

    Hi Don,

    Micro sats will run daily for £2.30, where 1 in 5 win a seat into the daily quarter final at 9.30pm each night (6.30 on Wednesdays)

    The daily Qtr final is £10.50, 2000 chips 12 min blinds, where 1 in 5 win a seat to the weekly Semi final at 9.30pm on Wednesdays

    The weekly semi final is £48, 4000 chips 12 min blinds, where 1 in 5 earn their place in the monthly £8K Sky Sports Double Stack.

    all of the above are now up in the lobby:

    Sky Sports Qtr Sat
    Sky Sports DS Qtr - highlighted
    Sky Sports DS semi - highlighted
    £8K Sky Sports DS - highlighted


    Good luck guys enjoy

    P.S. the tournament is shown live on Sky Sports and 865, hence we have gone with 4000 chips, 12 min blinds and capped at 50 runners. Most of you guys will remember the old 'Five-O' which had a similar cap, this way the plan is to have the whole final table played out live on TV.

    P.P.S. yes the guarantee is £8K, but we hope it fills out every month to give a total prizepool of £10,000

    P.P.P.S due to the player cap we may restrict direct buy-ins and/or amend satellites at some point depending on player interest.

    guaranteed 8K.. so if only 20 runners = 4k.. the prize pool = 8k still

    if u get over 40 runners then the prizepool increases 200 for every runner

    Any plans for anything in the middle of 30 and 200?!? Seems like a bit of a steep jump especially considering the numbers generated for the Sunday deepstacks when the BI was 100.

    I'd also rather it wasn't shown on tv and instead there were longer blinds and antes that came in at some point??

    I like the buyin level. 

    However I would like to see:

    * 20 minute blind levels 
    * A 100 cap or more
    * A 5000 or more starting stack
    * An improved blind structure with antes. Such as:

    25, 50
    50, 100
    75, 150
    100, 200
    150, 300
    150, 300 (25)
    200, 400 (50)
    250, 500 (75)
    300, 600 (100)
    etc...
