    Just one table along from Dave is this man, EPT winner Middy, & something of a running mate of Dave.

    MAN OVERBOARD

    It looks like we have lost Lil Dave.

    He was there when I last looked, but he is not there now.

    If I can find some details, I'll post them up.

    Mad Marty, playing Day 1a of the Main.

    Play is drawing to a close in Day 1a of the Main Event, so I'm going to draw stumps now, I'm absolutely wrecked for some reason.

    We've got through a bit of work today, but tomorrow will be busier, when MattPrawn, Dustolucko & LyonsBob all play the Main Event.
     
    Hopefully, we'll see a little more action tomorrow, & all three will go through to Day 2.
     
    Play starts at 11am Vegas, which is 7pm UK, so please join us & let's get some fun going.

    For now, it's early night time, night all.

    Captions comp:-

    The interview for the carer's job goes well and Dave's eyes light up as he hears that Tikay 'likes to play cards'.

    Dave's presumably saying to Tikay and Neil "so ... who won the caption competition then?"

    ;-)
  • edited July 2016

    tikay blonds are not famed for being the brightest of sparks, but I cant imagine that a top sky poker icon like yourself would

    forget to announce the winner of the little Dave caption prize.

    its not as if you have a lot on you mind this week.

    apologies if you have and I've missed it.

    I could give that prize a good home if it needs one.

    Good morning  DB,

    I shall address this today or tomorrow.
  • edited July 2016

    Afternoon all.
     
    I have asked Mr Ambo to select the winner, & he'll let us know later today I expect.

    For the record, these were the entries I sent Neil to select a winner from.


    mr ambo-jesus TK you,ve lost some weight

    TK-you,ve got your wrong glasses on Neil

    Dave-chuckles

     

     

     

    Moe, Larry & Curly hoping for a comeback in Vegas

     

     

     

    The British trio of entrants to the 2016 Joe 90 look-a-like competition didn't impress the judges too much 

     

     

    Wow only in Vegas less than 24 hour and I get to have my picture taken with the chuckle brothers

     

     

    I think the guy on the right is saying "And how many WSOP cashes have YOU got this year then?"

     

     

    Neil finds it hard to believe that this is really tikay pre and post diet 

     

     

     

    The Fun Boy Three pose backstage before their sell out gig at The Rio in Vegas on their 2016 reunion tour.

     

     

    Tikay and Dave congratulate a thrilled Neil on his first place finish in the "Dress like the casino floor" competition.

     

     

    Dave "Why does he get a REAL sky poker shirt and we get badges, I'm Tikayed off!!"

     

     

    I don't know about the three stooges they look like the three scruffs

     

     

     

    LilDave 'I know this is Vegas but I'm sorry, I can't officiate your wedding'. 

     

     

     

    Remind me, which one of us is having the selfie ?   

     

     

     

    Sky poker team event preparations in tatters as only 3 turn up for the pre-tourney 'huddle'.

    Donate the prize to charity IMO.

    Good evening.

    As I noted above, I sent all the selections to Neil Channing for him to choose the winner. I just sent him the captions, not the name of the entrants, so as there would be no bias. He could, of course, have spent an age finding & then trawling through the thread, but he's a busy chap, with poker to play, & horses to back, so I doubt he did.
     
    Anyway, he wrote back to me & he selected this one as the winner......

    And, in case you forgot, here was the photo......

    Well done Andy.

    The prize is a £110 Summer Series seat, on any weekend of your choice.
     
    Next weekend is Rebuy Weekend, which does not include a £110er, but you can save the prize for either of the next 2 weekends if you wish, both of which have a £110 Jobbie.

    The Summer Series schedule is HERE

    Once again , a massive well done all for doing a wonderful job. Enjoy the summer now.

    Congrats, & yes, of course you can - hope you run deep in it, & earn yourself a nice lump of free money.

    I'll send a note up to James & the other fella (forget his name)  ask him to organise this for you.
