Bad Beat Story count

My very dear friend Marcel Luske wandered in, "how are you Tony, great to see you?" etc etc then explained how he got it in last night with 10-10 v 6-6........
Graham Carter has lot a few chips, just a surface wound.
I asker him what happened, he said "I played a couple of pots that went wrong...."
"Whoa there, hold up", I said, "15 minutes in & you have already played TWO POTS?"
Ridiculous.
Kids, eh?
see you tomorrow, if you get a taste for it by all means carry on all weekend. sure i can find some latte to drink.
An astonishing 39 runners already, this Guarantee is gonna take a beating.
Just seen Richard Kellett & Paul Zimbler. There's a book waiting to written about either or both of therm.
Big thanks to DTD, who are allowing me to copy some stuff off their website.
Here's how they are seated.

Note to self - I suck at formatting.
AIRBALL ALERT
Graham Carter - yup - played ANOHER hand - tussles with a splendid young man in a New York Jets baseball cap.
3 way to the flop after Graham raised, flop is J-9-4.
Baseball Cap bets, Graham peels, 3rd player is so busy watching Kiev & Man C in the CL his cards get mucked.
Tirn, a scary Q....
J-9-4-Q
Baseball Cap bets again, Graham decides to be GoNotStay & 3 bets.
Baseball cap ponders. Tanks. Asks how much (yup, we know, you are passing), dwells some more, looks at Graham, scratches his nether region, looks at his cards for the 9th time & sigh folds.
Takes Graham back above starting, but I've had a word, STOP PLAYING HANDS
TALK TALK ALERT
Sharing the same table - Neil Channing & Chinese Frankie.
APOLOGY ALERT
BaseBall Cap, who lost that pot to Graham Carter, turns out to be Chris Brammer, who I never recognized under that cap. Whoops. Where's Tighty when you need him?
Graham, by the bye, said he had K-10- in that coup, for the abso nuts.*
* May or may not be true.
There are not many regular Sky Poker players "community" in the High Roller either, other than guys like Graham Carter )obv, & a few others, I need to do a full table walk to find them all.
Alex Goulder, Chris Brammer, Tom Middleton etc are all serious names these days with mega winnings, & all play the bigger events - Super Roller, UKOPS etc - on Sky Poker, but we can't divulge their aliases, mainly because a) It's not allowed & b) I don't know them......
HAIRCUT ALERT
1) Mr Ambo has had a haircut.
2) It was a very long time ago.
we'll put as few of the widely known sky aliases up for the main event but mainly it will be real names. this is a live event in a casino, the system we work off won't know the sky names and we'll know some to cross-reference but not all
for this high-roller i'd guess some will play on sky, some will play on sky occasionally and some will never have played on sky (yet!). much the same as the UKPC Main really....
46 entries now, & we are not at the end of Level 2 yet.
No re-entries so far, players can re-enter this once per day, & late entry extends until the 2nd level tomorrow.
Think we can assume that £100,000 Guarantee is gonna be toast.
Oh, & the answer was "no".
I just had a good chat with a chap by the name of Anthony Gardner, very tall chap.
Anyone know who he is?
Clue - sportsman.
