The final set of GUKPT summer tournaments took place both sides of this weekend as Summer Series 5a (London) and 5b (Manchester) saw large fields settle in to contest a series of events culminating in the Main Events on the 29th-30th August. Manchester’s £500 Main Event was won by Lee Atherton for £9,080 with Pravin [...]
I arrived at DTD on Saturday feeling under a little pressure, self imposed pressure. I didn’t expect miracles but I did want a good run in one of the two tournaments I was playing over the weekend and the Friday game hadn’t gone well. The main thing for me was to enjoy the event and [...]
HuckNall chops for 2nd in Stake-A-Shark Tournie at DTD After a sumptuous meal of salmon fishcakes and chips, (I’m learning to eat cheap meals after being made redundant!) I tell my wife that I’m off to get some milk – won’t be long. I head along the A610 to the Nottingham ring road and DTD. [...]
I decided to play the £300 mtt at DTD as I really want to play more live, and where better in the UK to play, then DTD! I sat at my 1st table after playing cash for about 2 and a half hours, so I probably wasn’t in the best shape, but with the 10k [...]
After endless attempts at live tourneys and always busting out just before the cash I thought I would take a break from the weekly trip to DTD to play the Wednesday £30 freezeout, during this break I spent a lot of time reading up on tournament play and watching as many online videos of tournament [...]

Among the 120 pre-qualifiers are a selection of pros and celebrities [...]
24 “K”ARAT TOURNAMENT Prior to these last few months, I had never been able to win anything of note on Full Tilt. I had read many posts on various forums where posters would ask the question “Why do I win on Full Tilt but can’t do anything on Stars?” and vice versa. They have a [...]
After a successful Saturday morning and afternoon playing cash games I decided to take a break and play a variety of SNG’s and MTT’s. One of the tournaments I decided to play was the $13.5k GTD Knock-Out on Full Tilt. The entry is $24+2 but I had a $26 token in my account so I [...]
The second Virgin Poker Festival was a big success for me personally, as well as an even bigger success for EMS. With 230 runners, and a £28,000 prize pool, it was definitely worth qualifying and turning up for! I played, quite possibly, the best poker I have ever played across the two days, and one [...]
After travelling up to Newcastle on Friday, I warmed up for Saturday’s main event with a night at Stanley’s along with quite a few EMSers. I donked my way out of the first tournament, but then managed a second place in the £20 midnight freezeout to leave me in a good mood and feeling confident [...]
