-ed- Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 As you all no doubt know some of us were fortunate enough to win seats at the Midlands Masters, Grosvenor Casino, Walsall. Myself, mole and TQM. The event is the 25th & 26th of November so only 3 weeks away.:loon The purpose of this thread is to see who can make it etc. To date as far as I know we have Mr and Mrs Valiant, Mr and Mrs MCFC, Morslpin, Big Andy, Joe (Legge) and the lovely Sarah. Also, the legend that is Tikay who is a recent PL addition. Obviously DD is coming with me, Mrs mole is coming with him and as far as I know TQM and Red Fear are bringing their ladies. :ok Diane and myself along with mole and Susan will be travelling on the Friday (24th November) late afternoon, we arrive at around 8pm. Valiant has already spoke about a possible meet up on the Friday night so we are well up for that.:beer We will be staying at the Village Hotel Walsall http://www.village-hotels.co.uk/Hotels/Walsall/default.aspx?linkid=InteractiveMap (unconfirmed) So c'mon guys lets see if we can get a good old gathering, Jaded I know you will make the trip ;) Anyone coming or thinking about coming please post here, going to be a brilliant weekend, non drinkers need not apply.;) :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Re: Midlands Masters :ok Just to clarify the reason I suggested Friday is that the players will be pre-occupied with the tourney on Saturday (obviously) and so the Friday would be better socially. :gimme :cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelegge Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Re: Midlands Masters Looks like it's going to be an official PL social event. I'm sure the SportingOdds credit card can suffer behind the bar on Saturday and get a few rounds in. Ed - Village Hotel Walsall is booked up now so you can confirm all your plans. It appears i'll be seeing you all there (i'll warn Tikay!). Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-ed- Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Re: Midlands Masters Had this sent today by Joe at Spodds, looks good.:loon Weekend Itinerary Below is as accurate a schedule as I can predict as poker tournaments are notoriously poorly organized. However, Tikay and I will be in close attendance for the whole weekend so if any times do change late on we will be on hand to make sure we don’t miss anything. Saturday 25th November 12.30 – 1pm: All players meet in the hotel lobby 1pm – Taxi to Restaurant – The Boathouse (Sutton Coldfield) 5.30pm – Taxis to Casino from hotel 6.30pm – Play Begins 10pm approx – Dinner during second break 3.30am approx – Play ends for the day, back to hotel. Sunday 26th November Any player who does not make in to Sunday can either tag along with the below itinerary or are welcome to entertain themselves in Walsall/Birmingham. 12pm – Meet in hotel lobby for taxis to lunch. 12.30pm – Lunch - Pier 39 3pm – Play Begins 6pm – Dinner Break 9pm to 11pm – Approx finish time. Tournament Structure. The blind structure is still not actually finalized but is likely to be as below. - Game - Texas Hold’em. No Limit. Double Chance. Freezeout £1000 + £25 - Number of Players – Predicted 200 (estimated Prize Pot of £200,000, top 18 to cash) - Starting Stack - 10,000 Chips (5000 to start with and take the remaining 5000 at any point over the first 3 hours) - Blinds - 1 Hour - Starting Blinds - 25/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
