    Is there a big gap in your diary where it says 'Tuesday Night'?

    Do you have some money in your bankroll and a few hours of free time this evening that you want to spend amongst like-minded friends playing the game you love on TV?

    (You can see this where this going, can't you..?)

    Yes, we have a 
    LIVE show tonight on Sky Poker TV Channel 861.

    We start at 7. We go till 12. And here's the deal- it's...




    Gentlemen, and ladies, start your engines- we've got live coverage of tonight's main event -the £4k Turbo Open.

    Coverage commences at 8 and will continue through to midnight with a one hour Mastercash sesh in between, from 10-11pm.

    And leading up to the kick-off, we'll bring you the highlights from Sunday night's Primo final table. That's from 7-8pm.

    On the bridge tonight, in it's first ever pairing, (and possibly last, the producer is very, very nervous)...

    Richard Orford and Joe Stapleton


    Captions for these photos please!

    No prizes, it's just for fun and the chance to get your genius effort read out on air.


    Stick them on here, via email skyopen@bskyb.com, or tweet them #skypokertv

    And of course we'd love to hear from you about everything else. We'll take hand requests from the big event and, whether you're playing or not, we always welcome your questions and banter so send in all that too.

    So, see you tonight, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, whatever the hell that means. And remember...

    Hi Jim,

    I think my role will be have to be straight man tonight with Joe in the studio- the producer said this pairing is his worst nightmare. Lol!

    As for Lukaku, yeah it was good while it lasted- could have done without him scoring a hat-trick against Man U on the last day of the season, we might just have sneaked him back under the radar had he not.

    Still, you never know- Mourinho might not fancy him for his first XI. Then again, he does look a lot like Drogba so he might get him back straight away to recreate the magic.

    Maybe we'll get Torres on loan instead. He looks like he could do with some experience with a big club ;-)

    No, it's not it, tomo! Sorry mate, see amended opening post.

    Two photos for you, and that's it now.

    We had copyright issues with the original one- the new one is Joe's Twitter photo and so presumably he owns the copyright. In which case, we'll have our day in court if he tries anything!

    (stapes) ''so you join me outside the court just as the defendant Richard Orford arrives to answer the copyright case against him"

    Good point Alan, the tour through our trophy room wouldn't take up much of his time. 10-15 seconds say.

    Ha! Wait until next month, when Joe has been paired with Anna!!!

    How much wrangling / restraining will be required?

    I think that is very unfair James. You should wait and see the show before posting stuff like this beforehand.

    ......I am sure Anna will behave herself.

    Loving your captions so far. Most amusing.

    Don't forget to send us loads of hand ids once the big game gets going.

    2 and a half hours to go- then we're live for the rest of the night. Be good to have you there!

    Bonus content tonight-

    (1) Watch Julian Thew blow his massive chipstack on the final table of Sunday's Primo. Well, come on, he was due some bad luck wasn't he?

    (2) We're trailling our new table graphics again tonight at 10, in the Mastercash hour. All feedback, positive, negative but most of all constructive will be gratefully recieved and read out on air.

    That is all.

    For now.

    I suppose ONLY making the final table might be considered bad luck for Mr Thew.


    Oooooooo... the new graphics. Pretty. :)

    I have thought of another constructive criticism of the new graphics - It would be better if screen names were case sensitive, I think. Might save on a bit of confusion for one or two presenters who struggle with the names.

    Have a great show Richard. Don't be upset if Mr Stapleton compares you to James alot. He did move continents to be nearer to him, after all.

    Hi Rich.

    Reference the £10 Tournament Token -

    Can you just clarify for any new players, because I once had a £10,00 tournament token and entered a £5.50 tournament and the token was spent ie I was unable to use it to play multiple tournaments or sit & goes.

    56 minutes is to the end of level 8, Richard.
