    It all fizzled out for me late-ish in the day on Level 11.

    Had nursed a short-stack for what felt like hours (and that's because it was) before finding the perfect double-up coup. Woke up with pocket tens UTG and shoved my 9.5 bigs.

    Got a caller from A-10 and off we went with me dominating...until that 3-outer came down on the river.

    Generally I never got going, and my last-minute arrival due to my car rather inconsiderately packing up in the middle of a busy interchange roundabout coming off the M1 didn't put me in the best frame of mind for the game.

    I love the whole experience of the UKPC though and I am determined to put in a good account of myself at one of these events in the future.

    Target next time- Day 2.

    Good to see everyone, DTD was absolutely rammed! GL to all those still in, I'll be watching from the sidelines with interest.

    On the train back to London now as I write. And I'll be on the train again on Tuesday going back to Nottingham to pick up my car from the garage. By Thursday, maybe Friday I will find this whole thing quite funny. Maybe...

    138000 for Matthew Percival, not 238000 :(

    ^^^

    Hi Matt,

    BONUS time. ;)

    The official DTD player list has you as 238,000, but that'll just be a typo or misread.

    Anyway, 138,000 is plenty, good luck today.

    The overall chip leader going into Day 2 is Sky Poker's James Jeffrey, but that's a secret, so DontTelMum.

    Yesterday was VERY difficult to update, due to sheer number of people in the Club, & the need to look after players & Staff as need be, the near impossibility of using 6 laptops balanced precariously on a coffee table in a severely confined area, & sharing 2 plug sockets, as well as my requirement to send a Daily Blog up to Head Office for Uploading, and also an internal report of proceedings for internal use only, & filming a few pieces to camera for SkyPoker TV.

    So apologies it was not what we or you had hoped, but hopefully, today will be a little more work-friendly, & we'll be able to do a little better. Must say, Wednesday thro Saturday have exhausted even my energy, it was a tougher 4 days than I can recall in many a year, but it should get easier from here on in.
     
    You have the seat & table draw, so if you want any updates on anyone particular, let us know & we'll see what we can do.

    Hi Tikay,
    Have you managed to stay off the coffee? Fine effort if you have under all that pressure :)
    Is Brett Angell the ex footballer? started at pompey and played at a few other league teams? He was a "big unit" as they say. Other than that, I hope all the Sky poker players have enjoyed the experience, im very envious, and good luck to all those left in today.

    Hi Nick,

    No, this is a different Brett Angell, Newcastle lad I believe, won a UKIPT last year.

    And yes, I've managed to stay clear of the lattes whilst up here (with some difficulty), not had one since January 16th, & have adhered to my diet of Ryvita, white meat & fruit, bla bla. Am definitely feeling much better as a result, & have shed almost 2 stones in the process. Very kind of you to ask.

    EssexPhil just 4 or 5 bet with K-K, & ran smack into J-J.

    As Phil has now left the premises, we can reasonably surmise a degree of outdrawage arose.

    He's smiling, as ever, proper bloke.

    Shucks, skill you know, all skill.

    p.s. Does Tikay's template answer qualify?

    You and SPT have been fantastic these past couple of days. As you may or may not have seen, I did post a link to the Benny Hill theme tune. It was in poor taste but was meant in the nicest possible way, it was just the image that popped into my head when reading about the bedlam at DTD. It was probably the last thing you want to see while you are being run ragged, trying to sort out player's problems as well as trying to provide regular updates, so for that I apologise.

    The sheer volume of players heading to DTD can only be a good thing though. The UKPC must be one of the most popular live MTTs in the UK now and it's great to see. 

    Best of luck to all that are left and keep up the great work with the updates!

    Thanks Guys.

    Today's Live Update is trundling along a little better, you can see it HERE

    It's a good deal easier today (so far), with just Dan, Tighty & myself encamped in Trickett's Room, plenty of room & less interruptage, & so we can get on with the tasks in hand a little better.

    Ha, no need to apologise mate, when something is well-intended, never a need to apologise.

    I'll be honest, it was utter bedlam here, for a variety of reasons, & some under the radar problems arose which disturbed me somewhat (don't ask), & so yes, a few mistakes arose.
     
    I honestly don't recall a more testing 4 or 5 days in all my time at Sky Poker, but as dear old Elton sung, I'm Still Standing.
