I OULD ANSWER IT BUT I AM NOT AWARE OF THE FACTS, SO YOU DONT REALLY WANT MY ANSWER

MAYBE NEIL WOULD ANSWER IT AS HE IS THE SUPREMO, OR CONNIE THE NO. 1 HEAD HONCHO, THE BIG CAHUNA, THE A NUMBER ONE BIG DOG, TOP MAN, BIG CHEESE, MR BIGSHOT, KING OF THE HILL, BOSS-MAN, CHIEF

I BET HE KNOWS EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW, BUT HE WONT TELL YOU UNLESS HE THINKS YOU ARE SINCERE IN YOUR QUEST FOR THIS INFORMATION

HAVE YOU TRAVELLED LONG AND FAR AND ASKED MEN ON CORNERS FOR THIS KNOWLEDGE
HAVE YOU WALKED THE PATH AND MET YOUR FEARS HEAD ON

ANSWER NO AND REMAIN IN THE DARK

ANSWER YES AND ALL WILL BE REVEALED TO YOU IN A BLINDING FLASH OF EFFERVESSANCE AND JOY

I see there are a few multitabling... pat scanlon as well... (lamb of jasus)

There are two Paul Burke's listed: 200/1 and 150/1 - it is such a common name that it could easily be that neither is me!

The Clamper

I WOULD IMAGINE THAT A LOT OF PLAYERS SHOULD REALLY BE 1000/1

I WILL BE BETTING ON MYSELF TOMORROW IN LADBROKES

I PLAN TO BET QUITE A BIT, THEN COLLECT 100,000, WHICH WILL BE NICE A A BONUS PRIZE

Jayminator

I must be gone off the radar too. No price for me.... 800/1 should do it

its a disgrace of a market. 750 runners and they put up those prices,

Sorry for the delay in answering lads, but at the moment, this is the numbers situation.

760 tickets are sold,(and paid for), and have been now for about a week. (this includes the 20 seats held back for the super satt on thurs night).
It is quite possible that Ladbrokes will have 10 more to add to that, we'll know for definate tomorrow. Taking alternates into account, the field should reach 800, with a juicy prize-pool of €400,000.

I'll try and post back tomorrow night to confirm all I've said here.

Other questions posted since I was on boards last:

The Killarney Court is definately not within walking distance of the Glen eagle. I'd say 30 mins walking, approx €8 in taxi.

The hotels nearest the venue:
The Victoria house hotel (2 mins walk)
The Killarney oaks (3-4 mins walk)
The Lake hotel (5 mins walk)
The riverside hotel (5 mins walk)
The holiday Inn (5 mins walk)
The Randles Court (7 mins walk)
The Dromhall hotel (7 mins walk)

The Killarney court is not a dive, but if I was to chose one of the above hotels to stay in, I'd book any of the other seven before I'd book the court. They are a better class hotel in my opinion, and are much better situated.

Hope thats a help

Cash tables will be from 1-2 NLH and PLO up to whatever stakes are asked for. Cash area is in a seperate suite of the hotel away from the tournament area. Look forward to seeing you there.

Will there be Sit'n'go's available at the weekend ?

Roughly 25%, so €100k ish. I'd imagine.

100k is a decent ballpark figure

last call for lifts, i am switching off now, so its phone calls only from here on out

nate_doggg

I'm heading from Naas on Friday at about 11am if anyone needs a lift.

The Poker Room

There is a couple of cars leaving from the Poker Room in Tallaght at 9.15a.m on Friday and there is probably a couple of seats spare if anyone needs a lift.

Might also have a spare couch in the hotel suites if anyone needs a place to kip.

Lift is free but you would need to chip in for the hotel.

Gives a call if you want a lift,
