Woodie Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Re: Pokerstars UK Poker Tour I saw one sat yesterday well they had them running like every 30 minutes. $2 rebuys the 3 I looked at had around 50 runners each with only 1st getting a $500 sat seat to the online final. Prob will have loads more like $30 prices range, will do my best to qualify for the dtd and brighton ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try for Manchester and DTD :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluence Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Re: Pokerstars UK Poker Tour I can strongly recommend the Coventry G Casino, it's a terrifc venue. Well worth a visit, it's certainly the best G Casino by miles.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
