This is the third tournament in this series of €200 Freeze-Outs that we've held here in the Gold club in Letterkenny, Donegal.

The first 2 were €5,000 Guaranteed, with 60 players turning up both times. We expect now that our guarantee has increased we could be looking at nearly filling our capacity of 150 players.(with resulting prize pool of €30,000!)

If anyone needs any further information please don't hesitate to PM me.

Is this an accurate statement?.....I'm thinking of travelling from Dublin for this if you are genuinely expecting a crowd this big?.....
