Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Yesterday was the first of three x Day Ones for the £1 million guaranteed UKIPT.
Scotty77 was prominent all day, & finished the day with a very decent stack indeed, in about 8th place, & so returns on Saturday.
Sadly, Thewy perished along the way, as did "Style", but maybe they'll re-enter.
Some notable names that caught my eye were.....
Ben Vinson 180,100
Alex Spencer (Sky Poker UKPC Winner) 171,900
Ryan Spittles, aka Scotty77 - 130,300
Tom Middleton, aka Middy - 87,500
Max Silver - 76,100
Jake Cody - 70,000
Willie Tann - 46,200

Below are a few photos of the boys, taken by SPT Rich, & reproduced with permission.
Thewy, who has perfected the "just out of bed" look.
Here's Ryan, wearing what appears to be a winceyette pyjama top under his hoodie.
Style by name, style by nature. Good looking boy, huh?
Meanwhile, the £3,000 High Roller (101 entries including 15 re-entries!) was won by an old adversary of Paul Lambert, none other than Dave Shallow. Some business was done Heads-Up between Dave, & a chap named Richard Kellett, & they took £68,000 each.
Dave Shallow is, by profession, a sports bettor.
Nice one Ryan.
What view did you form of Alex Spencer's play?
I have a sneaky suspicion that the boy might just be a bit special. For one so young & inexperienced, he seems to be doing rather better than you'd expect.
I've not seen David Capon (Sparce?) for ages.
I hope to go up on Sunday & play the baby Omaha thing, be good to see you still going along nicely then.
Good luck to Joesman tomorrow, too.
Yesterday was the 2nd of the 3 Day 1's, & I spotted a couple of Sky Poker regulars who had a decent day.....
Sam Bayliss (Sam1986) 76,700
James Williams (lJAMESl) 56,000
David Capon (Sparce) 25,800.
There may have been others, but those are the ones I spotted.
The third & final Day One takes place today, & I know several Sky Poker regulars will be playing, including Thewy (Bullet 2) & Joesman. Good luck to all of them.
Apologies, I was not aware of your real name.
I'll be following you today, though.
A quick peruse of yesterday's Day 1c chip counts & I spotted a man doing it in style....
Michael Kane 50,700.
Thewy played - again - but I can't find his name on the chip counts......
Thanks for the updaterings. GL Sky peeps!
"... you were only supposed the show the bloody fours off."
They are all in the money now, around 100 remain, including Ryan, who has about 180,000, with Blinds @ 3,000-6,000 + RA. (So he has around 30 Bigs).
Good luck Ryan.
All thje best
