GJP - European Deepstack Poker Championships Final Thread!

Shortstack

European Deepstack Poker Championship II
5th-8th Feb 2009
Red Cow Moran Hotel, Dublin, Ireland

50,000 starting chips, 1hr clock, €1500+€150 entry.


The build up the European Deepstack Poker Championships is going very well. Already there are twice as many 100% paid in full players as we had paid in full the day before last years event so it does look like we will be one of the very few events this year that has more players than last year. This final thread should be used for any last minute questions and contains all the information you should need.

This year there will be one starting day for all players - Friday 6th Feb. Play will start at 2pm sharp with 10 one hour levels being played on day one and two and playing to a finish on day three,

The poker tournaments will be run by JP McCann and will be fully dealer dealt. Food will be supplied on Friday & Saturday.

As well as the main event there will be two side events and a super satellite. The super satellite will be on Thursday 5th Feb and will be €100+€10 with one rebuy and a top up available at €100 each. The side events will be a €500+€50 on Sat 7th and a €300+€30 on Sun 8th, both No Limit Holdem.

There is also a Charity Omaha €50+€10 rebuy in aid of Poker for the homeless which is run by Eamonn Connolly and Padraig Parkinson and supports The Simon Community & Brother Kevin among othere.

We are taking reservations for the following events:

Thurs 5th Super Sat
Fri 6th Main Event
Sat 7th €500+€50 game

You can reserve a seat until 2 hrs before your chosen event starts by emailing me directly. Only seats paid in full are guaranteed after this.

The €500 game and the Satellite are quite possibly going to sell out so reservations are advisable. The Main Event has over 100 fully paid entrants so it just depends, this is a lot more than this time last year so if you are travelling it would still be a good idea to reserve a seat.

I am not going to do one of those lists but we do have some very recongnisable players already 100% confirmed.

Confirmed as playing are among others:

Joe Beevers
Marc Goodwin
Dave Colclough
Julian Thew
Padraig Parkinson
Surinder Sunar
Michel Abecassis
Nicky Power
Paul Jackson
Michael Greco
Mick McCool
James Browning
Stuart Rutter
Rob Taylor
Fintan Gavin

Registration still going well for this event. Mostly UK & French players so far. Still also plenty of hotel rooms in the area despite the rubgy.

Last live sat before the super sat is in the Jackpot tomorrow (Tuesday).

SpencerJames

is there a book for this?

The Clamper

YES

its called the GJP Deep Stack and is available from Easons and all leading book stores accross the country

Hodges and Figgis is the cheapest

swat1902

There's also the days hotel in park west, clondalkin which is about a 5 min drive.

doke

Is there a cash alternative for the super sat if you already have a ticket?

connie147

Hi Mike/JP
We held a satt for this in the Cue Club and got 1 ticket out.It was won by Sandro Taddei. Book a seat for him please.

Connie

Shortstack

Connie - Sandro's seat booked.
Doke - If you have a ticket paid for / won then you can get cash in super satellite
Spencerjames- I doubt there will be abook at this late stage, I was going to try and do one but not had chance yet.

Fingers crossed I will be getting out of the UK in time for this event!

If you need to reserve a seat in super sat just email me. There are plenty left but we only have a limited capacity so demand on the night could mean it sells out at some point.

Quick question, is the supersat still scheduled for 7? Been traffic madness there the last couple of days so could be a problem for a lot of people.

12 hours after we finish the first day is the norm so probably 4pm, depends on numbers really. I would think 4 at the earliest though.

Well DUHH, That was sooo last month like.

ghostface ste

In realation to the ME structure it says breaks after every 2 levels, what length are these and is there a longer dinner break after the 4th level? Trying to work out some logistics

Shortstack

Breaks are 10 mins (realistically 15) with a 1 hour dinner break after level 6 (this is subject to change depending on start time etc.) At the moment we should start at the planned 2pm. It will only change if enough people are delayed today by late flights.

Van Dice

I figure it's fine to buy in just before 2 o clock?

digiman

Will turning up at about 1.30 be ok and buy in then? If not can you put my name down - Pauric Mc Brearty

He got his whole stack in holding KQ with KQ on the board. Think the lucky recipient was Doke who must have had either a straight or a set.

How you can get a 1000 BB stack all-in with just top 2 is pretty mind blowing TBH......
