    Here's next Sunday's Final line-up, as it stands, with one week to go.

    Right now, it's one £10k package, & £3,000 to the runner-up, but the numbers will increrase by next Sunday, & it'll be close to 2 packages I imagine.

    There are some 'bad boys' on this site (I'm probably one of them). Will they still get the red carpet treatment if they happen to go to Vegas?
    Posted by BigBluster
    We all have differences of opinion now & then Bluster. That does not make anyone necessarily "bad" or "good".

    EVERY player who goes to Vegas with Sky Poker will be equally treated - equally well-treated.

    For a poker player, a Trip to Vegas - paid for by someone else - is the trip of a lifetime, & nobody should waste a single second of it on "afters".

    Many people would be thrilled to be considered to look under the age of 21.    :-)))

    Hi Lewis,

    I'm not sure, to be honest. But if they were south of 21, they would not be able to play poker, or gamble, in Las Vegas, due to State of Nevada Laws.

    See you tomorrow, in Nottingham.

    Hi Eye,

    Congrats on getting in the Semi.

    Updates dried up? Blame me for that - I have had a very busy week, & I've just not had time, sorry.

    Normal Service will be resumed very shortly. ;)

    Good Luck on Sunday.

    Nudged by Eyeman, here's the scores on the doors as at Friday Lunchtime.

    There are so far 27 in Sunday's Semi-Final, as per the list he Posted above, with TWO more Quarter-Finals still to come, being today (Friday) & tomorrow, Saturday.

    So that should bring the number up to about 40, which equals 4 seats into the Final, plus, quite possibly, any direct buy-ins.

    As of now, Sunday's FINAL has 13 runners, with, assuming 40 for the Semi, & NO direct buy-ins, will mean 17 Runners. That would be one £10,000 Package, & £7,000 for 2nd. Several high-rollers have told me they may buy direct into the Semi &/or Final, so there is still a squeak that it will make 20 runners, & thus TWO x £10,000 Packages.

    Dan Brown has already nabbed his package, & either 1 or two will be getting 'plane tickets after Sunday, and there will be two more Monthly VLV Finals, one for April, & one for May.

    So the Sky Poker Raiding party to Vegas this year looks like being between 4 & 7 players, which is spot-on, it means the players can be properly looked after, & will form, let's hope, a nice bond, & Railing Team, for each other.

    Here's Sunday's 13 Finalists as of now, with others to be added after the Semi.

    I have a few days off now, not back until Monday, &  plan to play some Live Poker in Luton & Nottingham over the three days.

    But if I suffer a early exit on Sunday, I'll run a Live Update of the Sunday's Final on the Forum.

    I gather that Posh-Ling, who is Producing Sunday evening's Live TV Show, will be heavily featuring the VLV Final, too.

    Correct me if I'm mistaken re: the gender of Sara36DD08 (I'm assuming that Sara is a she) but it's welcoming to see that not all our finalists are hairy 4rsed ruffians of the male variety. Without 'dissing' the guys it would make another first for sky to take a lady player out to vegas (Their could be a slogan here   'SKY...FIRST FOR FIRSTS!

    As you asked so nicely, then OK, I'm obliged to accept your kind invitation to correct you if you are mistaken.

    I cannot comment on whether Sara36DD08's has vigorous follicle growth from the epedermic area, composed as it is of terminally differentiated stratified squamous epitheliumbut, (and note that the suffix is "but", that's one "t" not two), though I think it's fair to say that Sara is equipped with the type of appendage usually associated with the male of the species.

    We are off!

    Two qualifiers now, Penguin7 & JazzyJ.

    There wll be two more VLV Finals, one for April, & one for May. The qualification journey for the April Final has already begun, & the first Quarter-Final will be tonight at 9pm, which will feed into this Sunday's Semi.

    As at 6.45pm, tonight's Q-F has 25 runners, & looks a hot Quarter, too, with some tidy players already reg'd.

    If you want to be on that 747 with Jazzy & Penguin - Dan Brown too - now is the time to start qualifying.

    Good Luck.
