Over 200 players tonight
Had the xmas party last night for Robs companies at Hilton just off M1 Junction 24. Was a great party and i while Rob was doing a speech and handing out awards for his main company SF , Claire , one of the Dusk Till Dawn dealers went up and gave a speech which i thought was for Danny oue card room manager , in fact to my pleasant surprise it was to give me a bottle of boxed vintage Dom Perignon which all the dealers had bought, as you can imagine i was touched and delighted.
We all had a lovely meal with a free bar and entertainment including a hynotist ( i manages one for 2 years , a lot of fun and something i may write about one day ) then a band and DJ.
Mathilde and i had to leave at 1.30am as we had the Poker Down the Pub National Finals at 2pm so were due to open at 1pm.
This was a great success but meant we were in for a long day, i have just got in at 8am but i am loving being host and poker director at Dusk Till Dawn.
The pub players were a great crowd and played several satellites, it took 4 levels to lose the first player but it ended at 7pm with the winner Stuart Holdsworth , perfectly timed for our £100 evening event.
This had 75 runners as opposed to last weeks 68 and again we had up to 9 cash games and 15 STT , players came up by trin from London, drove from Hull and Ipswich, we had over 200 including 40 new customers.
Last Sundays £200 had 48 players , i hope tonight there will be more as Dusk Till Dawn is starting to attract players from a far wider area than i originally anticipated.
Some of the key features for those that are yet to visit are ...
1st casino licensed card room in the UK
Largest venue in the UK, 46 tables in 15,000 sq ft.
All tables professionally dealt.
Purpose built for poker only in a tiered amphitheatre style to promote ambience/atmosphere.
Top quality chips/cards
Best weekly structure and payout in UK
Always cash games + STT available independant of tournaments.
VIP room for Hi rollers and invited guests with private table and blackout glass walls
TV table with lighting grid and outside broadcast accessibility.
70 capacity purpose built heated smoking area.
24 plasma screens with our own in house tournament software.
Coming soon
A second tournament each night for those that cant make our main event at 7.30/8.00pm
Perfect for the players preferring a later start, the players that have travelled and for some reason are later than an hour missing the late entrant opportunity or we have reached our maximum cap of 135 including alterantes , or you play and get knocked out early.
Dusk Till Dawn was built by poker players for poker players only there are no slots, no roulette , craps or blackjack just poker.
We want all players to enjoy the experience of playing here and appreciate the distance some have been prepared to travel thats why we listen and will strive to improve where possible untill we are considered the best venue in Europe.
I look forward to seeing you all here during our first year.
Our first festival will be around April/May dates to be confirmed.
All the best
