    Tikay usually rings all qualifiers to give them the secret code word.  If he hasn't done so yet he'll probably get round to it in the next few days.

    Depending on how deep I run in the event i will run some SNG games as the side event on Sat is £50 and could be out of bankroll for some people

    I think tables may be an issue tho, best endevours will be made!

    Pop along as the SPT is always very friendly

      do you only get 5000 strting stack in the main event ,all other comps seem to have a deeper stack ,Why ?

    The SPT One day structure has to take 140 runners to a winner in around 12 playing hours, with all the blind levels we can fit in. The structure ends up very playable

    The side events have far fewer runners, and although the starting chipos may be higher the structures are usually quicker


    The SPT Two day structures have 15,000 starting, befitting the much greater time available
