i can't get the time off work from the casino to make it down there honestly, and there's other tourneys much much closer to home i could enter.

had a question however.... does the tournament have dedicated dealers or is it self dealt by the players like most tourneys in the UK are?

It's self dealt. 50 x dealers would have meant a considerable cost & less money to the charity... Given £60k worth of prizes for £12 entry we are pretty sure people wont mind dealing themselves
