10,648,000-1
Hi All
Another week has flown by at Dusk Till Dawn and it is clear that the players can't wait for us to be open 7 days . On February 13th we will move a step closer as we will be extending to 5 days with a beginners comp, ideal for the smaller bankroll or those new to the game who would like to play in Europes finest card room it will be just £25 + £5 to enter and we are hoping to hit our maximum of 180 to produce a £4500 prizepool !
This week we had an average of 200 players a night in the club playing both tournaments and a range of cash games. Usually we have 8 to 11 no limit and dealers choice games. For the first time we had short handed (6 players) games and one round of each, hold-em and pot limit omaha which proved popular and will be on offer each night. The Thursday £50 had the biggest field at 131 and on only its second week Saturdays £50 was just under the 100 mark at 97. The £100 event on Sunday attracted WSOP bracelet winner Lawrence Gosney who was very impressed with Dusk Till Dawn and will be a regular for our Sunday £100 and bigger competitions.
One player who wont forget the Sunday £100 for years to come is Daniel Platten who is pictured here with card room manager Danny Bell being awarded a DTD hoody for an amazing feat. Daniel is a DTD regular in the Thursday £50, last week he won our first live STT for a seat in the £300 DTD Deepstack so decided to celebrate and play the £100, he has only been playing live 6 months and got dealt AA three times in a row !! The odds against this are a mind boggling 10,648,000. Ironically after winning all three of these hands his final hand was AA but he lost to 55 when a 5 flopped for 14th place.
Over the years to come i am sure we will see many tremendous achievements in Dusk Till Dawn like those of this weeks player interviewee Shafique Ahmed who has had 4 top 3 finishes in the first 24 events or like this week where 3 of the 4 winners were all Greek.
Don't forget February 2nd will be the £300 DTD Deepstack, played over 2 days with 10,000 starting chips, a 45 minute clock and a slow structure

it is bound to attract a big field with some of the top players in the country who will want to win a potential 4 figure first prize and the cash games will be the best in the country with something for everyone.
Also in response to our customers the Sunday £100 will be moving to a new start time of 6.30pm with the club opening at 5.30pm from 3rd February. With 5000 chips and a 30 minute clock this will give players who have to work Monday a chance to play our biggest weekly tournament but with an earlier finish.
All the best
