Breaks at the Deepstack Event

Garth or Annabelle or someone else in the know,

how many breaks are there going to be in the day?

i was reading the post that had the blind levels in it, and at half an hour levels, there is 9 hours of play in the day

the post also says that play will commence at 11am, and go till 9pm, which means that there is only 1 hour left in the whole day for breaks

i was just wondering whether there will be lunch and tea breaks, and how long these will be?

i would like a substantial meal, especially for tea - and im sure the berri resort would want a break so they can make some money on meals and not just snack food.

so maybe extend playing time to 10pm, and have 2 breaks, a half an hour break for lunch, and a 90 min break for tea?

the rest of the breaks can just be taken by the player leaving the table as they see fit, with the bigger stacks i dare say this will happen a lot more.

There will be a forty five minute break for lunch and a ninety minute break for dinner.

As stated previously tournament structure is liable to change depending on amount of runners and other conditions.

Good point.

If you rock up Saturday morning you can't go into your room. So, your gear stays in your car until you can (what, 1pm maybe or so)..

And oh, while you're here Garth.

Are we starting with 20,000 or 10,000? I remember there was conjecture over the amount of runners, and whether there would be enough chips or not.

No Des, I don't :oops:

Seriously though, if you already told me I either wasn't listening or I didn't hear you.
