Sorry DTM, if I had realised there were still folks reading the thread, I would deffo have continued, but there were barely any replies the last hour or so, & I assumed everyone had fallen asleep. After all, some of my stuff is really "interesting".....
"Live Updates" only work if there is interaction really. I used to Update elswewhere, & got non-stop questions, comments & replies, but it does not seem to work very well here for some reason.
Anyway, you'll have Tighty all week starting tomorrow, nobody does it better, so lets hope the thread gts a bit of bounce, oomph & life.
I ovelaid again this morning, no idea why. I get up every morning @ 5am & am in the office by 6am, & yet I've been up here 4 days, not done a thing all day, & yet I'm dog tired. Must be all that Front of House work......
Anyway, moving on.....
The High Roller is due to start shortly.
It has been delayed slightly, as the Satellite started late, so will now start at around 5.30pm.
Concrete effort sir, know it will be off to a flyer when the high roller updates start...
Quick High Roller Satellite tale.....
It had 5 seats Guaranteed, worth £15,000. Entry was £150 think, plus rebuys & add-ons.
It was scheduled to start at Noon.
There was exactly ONE Entry @ Noon......oops.
Rob debated as to whether to cancel it, but by then 5 or 6 players were mingling around.
Under his T & C's, he had the right to cancel it, but if he did, he would upset the 5 or 6 who had turned up.
Anyway, he decided to delay it an hour, & a bunch of us went on a PR initiative, on Forums & Twitter etc.
Bla bla bla, it ended up with 35 Entries & 63 Rebuys/Add-ons, so only missed the Guarantee by £300.
BOOM!
There are 11 left in the HR satellite.
These include....
Scotty77. He's short. Like, really short. Matt Bates short.
Russia. This is the lucky tfcjdmdthrdmhdxtmr who won the UKPC Omaha. Sigh.
Wadey. He gave a masterclass last night in the 6 Max Mini, but came up just short. GOOD player.
Err, Mad Norweigan. This bloke is different gravy. Been here a week. Proper gambler him, epic scenes of spin ups, spin downs, & spin-back-ups. Unbelievable guy, & a proper character.
Arbboy. So-called either because he is a pro punter specialising in arbing, or because he argues a lot. Both are true. Bright bloke though, very bright. Stoke City Supporter, as he used to work for a little Bookmaker in Stoke. They own Stoke City FC actually, & he is a Stoke City supporter. No accounting for taste, eh?
The High Roller has started.
Needs 50 @ £3,000 to meet the Guarantee, has 33 already, so with an optional re-entry, am quite confident it will meet the Guarantee.
Late Reg is until 9.40 in case you fancied playing.....
A few of the High Roller entries......
David "Dubai" Shallow

Sky poker regular "lolurface" is playing it, (NOT to be confused with "lolufold") but I don't want to link his real name & his screen-name, seems a bit off.
Seems a lovely lad.

how many WSOP bracelets, EPTs and WPTs can you count in that lot?
go on, guess.....
Andrew Hills makes it 725 on the button @ 150-300/25. (Starting stack is 50,000).
Wadey flats in the SB.
Craig McCorkell, in the BB, makes it 2,600.
Andrew now makes it 6,700.
Wadey calls.
Craig calls.
Ooh-er.
Flop......
A-A-6.
Much theatrical dwelling, but all 3 check. Which one - or two - has the Ace?
Turn is Jack of spades, bringing 2 spades now.
A-A-J-6
More theatricals. We are 5 minutes into the hand now.
Wadey checks.
Craig checks.
Andrew, on the button, makes it 7,600.
More dwelling.........
Wadey makes it 17,000!
Craig folds.
Andrew folds.
Wadey shows.......
Luke Schwartz in the house......
In that big hand, I think Andrew Hills maybe had Q-Q or K-K.
When Wadey showed the 9-9, Andrew looked skywards & gave a big sigh.
No idea what Craig had.
Chris Brammer in the house.
If you win a seat in tonight's Main Event Mega Sat, & you already have a seat (no matter where you won it), it counts as a DTD "Token" to the value of £1,000, & you can use it for ANY Event @ DTD, be it the UKPC Main, or anything else. You can break it into smaller increments, too. Effectively, you'd have £1,000 of tourney credits @ DTD.
Don't be late, then.
First player over 100,000 seems to be Dave Shallow, who has his game head on today.
On another subject i came across The Falkirk Wheel watching some randon TV program today.
How awesome is that !!!
Who said British Engineering was a thing of the past?
