delighted to qualify on ladbrooks for this the other night.. I got the mail from Laddies about the package and it includes 2 nights in the gleaneagle... with an option of an upgrade to the Brehon 4 star for 85 euro extra... anyone know if it's worth the upgrade?


and a shameless plug if anyone is looking for alternative accommodation we have a few hotel and b&b rooms still available for the 3rd and 4th on www.failtehotels.ie just select dates and drop down menu for kerry. interesting one for some of the guys on a budget might be triple room from 110 euro...

See you all there...

Well done macs. See you there.

The Gleneagle is a top class hotel in it's own right. However, the Brehon is something else. It trades as 4 star for business reasons only. In reality it's a top class 5 star, is literally 3 minutes walk from the poker venue and is well worth the upgrade imo.

Hi Macs,
Delighted to heaR you won your package. You wont be disappointed with either hotel, but if it was me, I would upgrade for the sake of €85. The Brehon is a class act. (Steve davis told me he has never stayed in a better hotel, and I guess he's stayed in quite a few of them). The service is top class as is the whole hotel. If your bringing your wife with you, they have a renowned spa centre, completely staffed by Thais.The hotel is only 2 or 3 years old.
The Glen Eagle hotel itself is much bigger, and has a superb leisure centre.
I'm sure youll be happy whatever you decide.

See you then
Connie

edit: Just spotted Matt adressed your query already. Hope we've been helpfull!

I Will have Full details after Sept 28th which is Closing reg date For registration on Ladbrokes Online so that info can be compiled . We will still have entry through both clubs and myself if seats are still available and plan to do Alternates after this point if the event is full.There will be an alternates list at the venue on the day.

Hello all,
Just in case people misunderstand whats written above, Sept 28th is the closing date on Ladbrokes for buying into the event. But that doesnt mean that if you wait until say Sept 27th, that your guaranteed to be able to buy in. From what I can see, this tournament is going to be sold out in the next few days, and when it is sold out, then you will no longer be able to register, regardless of the dates.

nah i just jumped into a 1.50/3 NLHE game and 2 hours later cashed out for the buyin, although 3 double ups in PLO would be much quicker if your stuck for time:D
