    Starting stack is 2K (cost €60), rebuy or top-up is 3K (€50, take one or the other)

    20 min levels all night. Break and freeze-out after level three. The game gets very tight in the middle/late stages, and you'll probably have to win a few marginals to go deep. Also, you should really be prepared to spend the full €110 to have a chance.

    Might make this myself.

    You also get 400 bonus chips if you are there before the end of the first level. They are consistently getting 100 runners for this now, so a decent prize pool.

    90 runners in this tonight. I crashed out in 6th when i ran my A10 into AJ. The lady announced call to my reraise all in and i flip over my A10 while shes counting out her chips. "youre ahead" she says, "miles ahead" before flipping AJ, damn falls hope, should know not to fall for it!

    Played this last night and was on table 1 downstairs, had a great laugh and was hitting the cards bigtime, I nearly had 15k after level 2 after busting nearly 1/2 the table, than I double up Paddy Hicks when I was on a steal and hit top pair against his wp overpair of pocket KK's.

    Than double up another player when we both had top pair on 10 high board but he had the Ace kicker to my K kicker, so finish at the break with about 15k, which was fine.

    After the break got no cards, so from a late position I made a steal attempt with j7os, got four callers with my 1200 raise. The flop was 972 with a spade flush draw. BB checks so I bet out 2.5k hoping to take it there, both players behind me flat call, so I felt they were either on draws or medium PP's. The turn comes a 8 given a straight draw on the board, so I decide to represent and push all my chips in which was just over 10k. The lady who I think knock out flushdraw above decide to call and I said great call to her and got up to leave after her telling me she as a big hand. She turns over AQ spades and need to hit on the river to beat me. What the hell was she at... I couldn't believe it as she was putting all her chips in too. Anyway, she hit the 8 spades and I'm gone, somehow.

    So went and played a 1/2 cash game, sat down with 200. Only played a couple of hands when I limp in the SB with J9 suited. The flop comes Q10 rag rainbow and I bet out 15, one caller, the turn comes a 8. Happy days and I decide to bet it for him, so I bet out 20, he raises me to 40, so after a big dwell up I reraise him 75, he thinks for ages and than decides to put me all-in, I call and say, "we must have the same hand". He now looks worried and turns over Q8 for 2 pair, one of the other players mention he had Q8 and the other player says he had the Q, so he only as one out a 8. And on the river comes a 8. I said to him did he not think he was behind when I re-raised him, he says and I'm not joking " I thought I migh have been in trouble", omg what a muppet. Anyway, you want calls like that, but I've never had a winning session of cash in the Fitz and I've always been outdrawn on the river for big hands when I'm a massive fav.

    Anyway, I took my sister in last night for her first live game in a casino and she finish 10 on the final table, I took the Dad in a few weeks ago and he finish 5th in the SE in his first live game, so I'll never hear the end of it at home and I now come from a family of gamblers, no AA for us like most normal families....
