2012 Details All tournaments are no limit Texas Hold 'em with 5000 starting chips and one optional 2500-chip rebuy or add-on per player (details below). The entry fee is £30 and the re-buy / add-on costs £15. All entry fees can be paid when registering for the backgammon or at any time before 6:30pm. Entry after 6:30pm cannot be guaranteed. The first three blind levels will be 30 minutes each, as follows:
During these three blind levels, a player whose stack stands at 2500 or fewer chips may, before the cards are dealt, choose to purchase 2500 additional chips for £15. Each player may exercise this option only once. At the end of this 90-minute period, players who have not yet bought additional chips may do so regardless of their stack sizes. There is then a 15-minute break, after which the tournament continues as a freeze-out with no further chip purchases allowed. The blind levels continue in 20-minute intervals:
and onward in proportion if required. 10% of the money taken at each tournament (rounded down to the nearest £5) will be held back to fund cash prizes for the top three Grand Prix performers at the end of the year. The remaining 90% will be divided among the top finishers, with the number of paid places depending on the total prize money. The details of this will be worked out in advance of the first event in January. Poker Grand Prix Structure

Following the final event, bwin.com/wsob Bright 'n' Breezy, 13-15 January, 2012 David Horner got off to a good start, so good that that he changed his Temporary membership to Full in order to have his score (and all other backgammon scores and awards) count towards the Championship! Considering that Roy Hollands slipped and fell prior to the weekend starting, causing damage to his face and head that required hospital attention, he did very well in the poker. It'll take more than a blow to head to keep ex-boxer, Roy down for long, even if he is fast approaching 90 years old!
