Drive the Prize Final, Manchester
Good morning all.
We are assembled here in Manchester, "we" being Kirsty, Sam, Mark, & James, plus Yours Truly.
All the players seem to be here too for the scheduled noon start.
We just await Mr Ambo now. Not like him to be late, like......
Comments
As things get going, we'll try & bring you some news, who has bust, who is left, crackerjack hands, etc.
Any questions, fire away.
is there any live streaming or the like?
No, no Live stream Rob.
It had been intended to Live Stream it, but some problems arose.
And in surprise news, Mr Ambo has arrived, And is talking. And talking some more.
Here's the seat draw;
1 Kushti
2 JMcCririck
3 24Caliber
4 GregUK
5 RektSai
6 Tatopagao
7 mondo1985
8 bolly580
9 TimmyRaRa
Another "Stint" at D.T.D. for TK could be fatal. "Bonny Tyler" total eclipse
Whats the structure?
Rating on Timmy's chosen jacket for the day?
Some bemused looks on the plyers faces when they are informed that antes will start from Level 4.
Antes? What them?
The first significant pot of the final goes to mondo.
4 way to the flop, it came J-J-10hh, & was checked all round.
Turn was the 3 of hearts, which fitted Mondo's pocket 3's rather nicely, & he got 2 streets of valie from bolly.
Kushti is in the Big, there is a bet & a call in front of him & he comes along with 4-5dd.
He turns the flush, but alas a fourth diamond rivers, & his 4-5 is the nut low flush, as the deuce & 3 are both on show, so that kills any river action & it goes check check.
Nice little pot for Drone man (that's Kushti, not Mr Ambo) & it'll settle him down.
How many of the finalists are pro's?
Do they all have a driving licence?
Wonder how many would keep the car and how many would sell it?
Greg.
The first break - a 10 minute comfort break - will be at the end of Level 3, in 6 minutes time.
We'll get chip counts for everyone during the break.
Upon return, they will play through until the lunch break, scheduled for around 4.30pm.
Hope everyone has a great time!
Good luck to all those playing

WBA 2, Arsenal 1 (latest)
Play here has resumed.
Arsenal lost 3-1. Wenger facing another tough weekend with the press & Team Armchair.
1) Don't know, but I'll try & find out.
2) Ditto
3) Ditto
As Homer Simpson once said, if you don't ask, you never learn.
Should Arsene Wenger stay or go?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
BIG POT ALERT
24Caliber & GregUK get it on.
Caliber opens to 500, Greg 3 bets to 1,400, Caliber 4 bets to 4,100, call.
Flop comes 3-A-6.
Caliber leads very small, Greg dwell folds.
I do know one of the hands, but it'd be out of order to post it here right now in case the players are reading this.
Another Big Pot Alert
Blinds are 125-250/25, & they go to the flop 3 way, 24Caliber, GregUK and Mondo.
The board runs out real scary, but nobody can quite manage to rep the 10;
9-3-J-Q-K
After plenty of flop & turn action they all check the river, & 24Caliber has a better 2 pair (Q-J) than GregUK(Q-9), with Mondo mucking face down.
24Caliber must be Chippie now by some way.
What a scary run out that was, 9-3-J-Q-K, proper Wet Wet Wet.
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
The love that's all around me
And so the feeling grows
Timmy has just realised this is not a DYM.
He thought the last 4.5 players all won an Audi.
MAN OVERBOARD ALERT
Ugly one here between Timmy & 24Caliber.
Timmy A-K
24Caliber K-K
Now look at this for a brutal run out.......
5-5-5-K-9
So Timmy's 5's full are no good v Kings full, & we lose Timmy.
Typical Sky, right?
