There is always something of interest taking place at the Dusk Till Dawn and aside from being the driving force behind the big poker tournament heading to Wembley in May, there is always something that will catch your eye. This weekend looks set to be another brilliant weekend of poker at the Nottingham club and thankfully there is still time to get involved if you feel as though some poker fun will help to make your life a lot more enjoyable this weekend.
Day 1A has already taken place but this was an online leg while Day 1B and Day 1C will take place on Thursday and Friday at the actual club. The event will run all the way through until Sunday the 21st of April and play will continue it is all done and dusted with the Monte Carlo tournament. There may be a lot of focus on the actual Monte Carlo tournament at the moment thanks to the tennis event where once again British hopes are resting on Andy Murray but let’s be honest, Monte Carlo is a place that is always going to generate an interest.
There is a lot of poker money to play for this weekend
Anyone looking to get involved with the event should know that it has a buy-in of £1,000+£100 but there is plenty of money up for grabs with this event. There will be a prize pool of £500,000 and there should be a first prize of £90,000. This is definitely worth spending a weekend in Nottingham and any poker player that is at a loose end this weekend would be advised to check out what was on offer at the DTD club.
All players will pick up 30,000 poker chips to start off with and the tournament features a blind structure that will increase every hour. The players that battle through the 3 opening days will be in the mix on Saturday when Day 2 properly begins. The scheduled start time for Saturday’s start is 13.00 which is still a early start time for many poker players. There will be some poker players looking to grab the US games online that may just be crawling to their bed at one o’clock in the afternoon so there will be a need to be alert a lot earlier than they would usually expect to be.
On Sunday, the start time is again 1pm and play will continue through to the end. Nottingham may not have the glamour or prestige of Monte Carlo but this weekend you can bet that there will plenty of poker players that are keen to be in Nottingham as opposed to anywhere else in the world.
