Heres where it gets interesting, Sunday saw the £200 and £100 FO at DTD, but Stoke had their anniversary £100 FO with £2000 added. As I work at DTD the chances of me being able to play were very slim, however the 5 O’clock £200 Freezeout only attracted a very disappointing 33 runners. Result:
| Entry: £200 | Game: Hold Em |
| Registration: £20 | Limit: No Limit |
| Starting Chips: 7500 | Type: Freezeout |
| Total Entries: 33 | Special: Regular |
| Total Prizepool: £6,600 |
| PLACE | PLAYER | PRIZE |
| 1 | Habib Chatoo | £2,970 |
| 2 | Simon Jude | £1,782 |
| 3 | Sadikiah Tapper | £1,188 |
| 4 | Peter Conduit | £660 |
As this event was very quiet, a colleague and myself zipped over to Stoke Circus to partake in the added value tournie, in the car we chatted about a 10% saver. Deal done 
The turnout was fantastic for this tournament which attracted about 160 players, so a total prizepool of £18,000. I also had another 10% with a good friend. I played the worst poker of my life, confirming my dislike for hold’em btw, and I was out before the first break. However my two 10%’s were doing great, and both in with 17 players left…….15 got paid i believe (I was busy in the cash games ). My first 10% got eliminated in 16th place 
. But Joe Wrigley, a DTD colleague, was playing out of his skin. He reached the final as the second shorstack. To everyone’s surprise the chip daddy, suggested that everyone should chop for £1000 each and play for the rest 1st 2nd and 3rd. My Jockey bit his hand off and then knuckled down to accrue some chips (and doing a fine job!!!) 6 players out the chip daddy suggested chopping it for £2000 for the top 5 and £1900 for the short stack. Joe at this stage wanted to play on, but felt that because he was offered such a good deal at the start, it would be rude not to, even though he was second chip leader. Deal done, they then proceeded to do the all-in fest for the trophy, of which an out of towner won. But many congratulation go to Bionic Bill from UKPokerlife who also recieved £2000 after having a long break from poker.
So while the atmosphere was buzzing in Stoke, the £100 at DTD got an even more disappointing 59 runners. Result:
| Entry: £100 | Game: Hold Em |
| Registration: £10 | Limit: No Limit |
| Starting Chips: 5000 | Type: Freezeout |
| Total Entries: 59 | Special: Regular |
| Total Prizepool: £5,900 |
| PLACE | PLAYER | PRIZE |
| 1 | Pat Kelley | £2,183 |
| 2 | Andy Coughlan | £1,357 |
| 3 | Jennifer Mason | £885 |
| 4 | Daniel Ball | £531 |
| 5 | David Mundle | £413 |
| 6 | Paul Jackson | £295 |
| 7 | Andrew Murphy | £236 |
I will post Stoke Stanleys results as soon as they are recieved, however the big winner was Stanleys Stoke, that was buzzing, like it was in the old days. The reason is undoubtedly the £2000 added, but if you take the £10 reg fee out they put on the show adding only £400!!! For the custom it brought in and the atmosphere, it is something that should be seriously considered as a regular event. IT WOULD DEFINATELY GET THE RUNNERS!!!
Well done Andy! aka Blazing Saddler
