Tonight is the £220 BIGGIE!

edited June 2010 in Poker Chat

It's the monthly £220 Sky Sports DS tonight. And Mr Run Good gets to do the Live Show which covers it, work with Sarah, & do the commentary on a really great Tourney. How good do I run?

Despite the lovely weather, & football, which has a massive effect on Online poker, I'm pretty sure it will reach it's max of 50.

If you fancy a crack at it on the cheap, there are 1 in 5 super sats to it every half hour today, & they feed into the 5pm Semi-Final, which is also a 1 in 5 affair. Details are in the SATELLITE section of the Tourney lobby.

The registered players as of 10am this morning are.....

    For a bit of fun, here's a teaser.

    Name the 1-2 - in CORRECT order - for tonight's £220 DS, & you'll get FREE ENTRY to all four T-o-T's next week. (Monday £2.20, Tuesday £11, Wednesday £5.50, Friday £5.50, = £24.20).

    Name the 1-2 in EITHER order (a reverse forecast, sort of), & you get entry into ANY ONE of those 4, & you can choose which one. (Naming the £11-er may NOT necessarily be the most cost-effective!). If you win the "correct order" prize, you can't win this one.

    It's the FIRST CORRECT answer which wins. Obviously, the later you enter, (given players will register later), the better chance you will have. And the earlier you answer, the better chance you will get, too. ;) 

    You choose.

    The Free Entry Comp closes at 7pm, as I need to print the thread off to validate entries, & I will be Offline from 7.15pm onwards.

    Handy hint - keep an eye on those Satellites, to see who is trying to bink a seat. Better still, bink one yourself.

    Well I will wait to see the rest of the entries before making my forecast.

    But from those in so far, here are some I will definitely be keeping an eye on...

    CHIRPYCHIP... he seems to make a habit of appearing on my table with a huge chipstack.

    JAEGERBOMB... in redhot form at the moment

    COOKIE83....not just his Primo win but has started turning up at the sharp end of many tournies

    PHIL12UK.... the luckiest man on Sky Poker ( only joking, Phil! )

    WAINBARBER...doesnt play much on here, but a gooood player

    SANDEZ89....a hard guy to read

    FINS.... a nice guy and an underestimated tourny player

    I could go on for ever here,as expected a top quality field already.

    2/DrMarbles

    the last £10 sat start a 3.05 c if we can get 5 runners 4 it
  • edited June 2010

    Runners are starting to populate the Satellites for this. The Last Chance Semi-Final is at 5pm, & only has 1 runner at the mo.

    I completely forgot about the Tourney, to be honest, what with the World Cup, & the weather, & stuff. Eye off ball & all that.

    Last month, it had even less at this stage, but it maxed out with minutes to spare. Poker players like to leave their options open until the last minute!

    Either way, the Guarantee is set at £8,000, & that won't change, so maybe it's time for a visit to Overlay City.

    They also have a £7,000 Guaranteed Bounty Hunter priced at £22, kicking off at exactly the same time, so that means there is £15,000 worth of Guarantee on the line at 8pm. Not sure I'd wanna be left holding that baby!

    Can you imagine the scene at 8pm, as all the Suits peruse the Lobby, "will we get there, won't we get there".....

    Kind of black humour, really, because that's real money, & I'm not sure I'd have been that brave if it were coming out of MY pocket!

    Was planning on having 1 attempt at the sats that ran every 30 minutes today, but not one of them has managed to run yet. 

    Good luck to everyone who plays it, will have my guess a little later.

    sorry, I'm not going to make any predictions as I'm going to be away for 3 weeks after tonight so cant win any prize!! :(:(:(

    Just to wish all you guys luck.

    Personally, I'd like to see 6 guys from the community on the FT and if I'm one of them thats an unexpected bonus.

    Kinda freerolling tonight after last nights luckbox 4th, but dont know if thats a good or bad thing.


    Good luck with the show Tikay

    Going to be another quality tournament this. If you enjoyed watching Saturday night's Big Game on Master Cash, this is the MTT equivalent. Going to be on Sky Poker TV (Channel 865), so get set with a bag of popcorn/hit the record button on your Sky HD box and let's watch this lot get at each other! :)

    Good luck all!

    Ye Good Luck to all the guys entered to far!

    Looks like a challenging field to me, but I just love the structure... can't wait!

    I just hope I keep the trend going and pop onto Penguin's table with a large chip stack LOL!

    Gl Everyone

    Good luck to everyone in this tonight. Will definately have to have a crack at this one of these days when i'm let out of the office at a decent hour. The buy in is a little out of my bankroll right now sadly so i'll have to try and sat into it (the Mrs told me to put that!) :-)
