DTD have a "play for fun" option but don't think all games are offered

He won a tournie which gave him the package there. However he is a very good player, and has beaten several professionals in the past. His prize money is in the £80000+ territory that I know about!

He did tell me how many players were registered, but I can't remember.

it's not known yet as you can register right up to the day, was over 8000 last year

Congrats rotty I quit poker a year ago I got scared amount of money I was playing with

Quit while 1.7k up off a fiver. But your right tournys are more a challenge rather then making money. Poker is a top game if you can dedicate time to it.

I see. Is the top prize something like $12m? They reckon it could be between 11000-12000 players (wiki)

I do play at Gala in Nottm though

You'll catch me on the blackjack tables.

When do Gala do poker? I checked some point last year and the only thing they had going was a pot limit tournament.

Nice one !

Yeah, best part was when it got to heads up, (which happened to be at about 9 am in the morning) I had about 3 million chips my opponent had 11 million. So we didn't cut a deal... It was a satisfying comeback.

And no Rotty, they weren't

Only spent $12.
