Has Dusk to Dawn Saved the ISPT?

The Nottingham Casion and Poker Room, Dusk to Dawn recently stepped in to pick up the pieces still alive from the original plan for the ISPT. 

I was lucky enough to speak to Simon Trumper, the Director of Poker at D2D, when I was work at the EPT in London. He's going to be the Tournament Director for the event, and we discussed several of the concerns I had seen, and had myself about the original event. 

 You can read more about this meeting over on the site that pays my wages right now.

My conclusions however, I'll put here:

D2D has pulled what was a great idea, with absolutely bloody awful execution, from out of the crapper, and they are doing a rather decent job of applying a shine to it. While I don't think this event will be the success it probably would have been if D2D had been involved from day 1, or will reach the levels it should have done when originally promoted back in 2011. I can see D2D making a loss of the event, but that event will be run well,  maintain it's promises and guarantees, provide a great experience for the players, and be a great advert for the quality and expertise of Simon, his team, and all the guys at D2D.

Jump on in if you get the chance, hell that's why I'm writing this blog. I'm getting a freeroll to try and win a ticket!
