A deep stack pop up poker tournament will be held at O’Gradys. The entry fee will be £20 and it will be first come, first served. There will be a bounty on 3 unidentified players and the bounty winners will only be known at the end of the tournament. The bounty will be chosen by lot and in total secret so there is no political bias.
A chicken an vegetable curry dinner will be on offer and the tournament will be on Election Day and will start at 8pm. This is a sit out tournament 10,000 chips start 20 mins blind structure – no rebuys.
The person who gets knocked out first will get a wooden spoon, a lucky bag and a pint or their troubles.
A long and exhaustive search is now on for the next poker superstar and this will be both rewarding and exciting. The time limit is a bit tight for a person or persons to be in place for the WSOP 2010 but you never know!

However, the basic premise o the tourney went like this:
The 7 teams were:
The game was fast and furious and there were many tales of personal endeavour, but two which stuck out of the crowd were:
In the end Chelly No Mates came first and Not As Good As Before came second. Chelly aka Golden Lady won the trophy as top player when she won the final table and yours truly ended up with a sore head. A final breakdown of the tournament will be posted when the photos and figures are forwarded.
As a concept this is certainly the way to go in respect of pub poker it is inclusive, competitive and has value for the timing of pub hours. The game could be stripped down so that i there were 5 or 6 venues who wanted to take part then there would always be players in the pub. it would mean each venue having at least 18 players, but it is possible and worth thinking about.
