Primo with the Big Boys, Rich and Ed

edited July 2010 in Poker Chat
Richard and Ed are at the helm this evening as all you value hunters look to take down the title of Primo Champion! They each have one TOT entry to give away to next Friday's tournament.

This evening we have 2 phone calls with Tikay - so if you have any messages that you want to pass on - get posting.

We also have a live cash section in this evenings show - so if there is an exciting table that we simply must watch let us know!

Now last week I promised 1 free entry to TOT for the person who emailed in the number closest to, but without going over, the number of entrants to this years Main Event.

There were 7319 entrants this year, second only to that of 2006.

Now, 35suited emailed in his answer of 7,102 runners - which quite frankly is not a bad effort! So he takes the prize and will be playing in next Friday's TOT.

However, one person did manage to guess 7129, but instead of emailing, posted their answer on the forum....

The answer is pretty exceptional - so I will give 1 of this week's TOT entries to that person, Emilyegg. But EVERYONE take note..... In future, if you don't follow the rules - you don't win!

Congrats to both of you - i hope you take it down!

    Afternoon everyone!

    Looking forward to tonight's show with Mr Giddins and two live phone chats with Mr Kendall.

    Hopefully we'll get a decent field despite the exceptionally good weather right now and the World Cup Final being on!

    Please keep the messages coming in via this thread or email skyopen@bskyb.com

    I'm going to reserve my prize of free-entry to this Friday's Take On Tikay MTT to the message I like best. So plenty of motivation to get tapping on that keyboard!

    Good luck if you're playing tonight and hopefully see you on the tables later!

    OK- here's a question to get things going-

    You're playing at next year's WSOP Main Event- and I can tell you right now you're going to exit before the cash spots.

    OK, so knowing you're not going to cash and that at some stage you're going to exit the event...

    HOW would you like to exit the tournament?

    Bad beat? In a tussle with Phil Helmuth? In the world's weirdest hand that people talk about for years to come? (which would be?) etc etc

    :)

    Very unlikely Rich.......you don't normally last that long lol. And ED Who?

    Anyway.....you will have plenty of time to talk to Tikay after you get knocked out so, can you wish him and the other sky pokers players all the best in Vegas.

    Ask him....What is the most famous train in America? and do they have a train which has a casino or poker room?

    Alien abduction. I've always wanted to be abducted by aliens, and with the WSOP being held in Nevada I reckon I've the best chance

    I'd probably want to exit in a similar fashion to a guy in last year's Main Event - quad aces to a Royal Flush!

    If ur gonna go out, you may as well go out in style!

    PS I win £200 if Holland win tonight after backing them for £20 at 9/1 with skybet at the start of the tourney.  Here's hoping......................... :)

    I'm afraid the octopus has already chosen - Spain it will be.

  • edited July 2010
    Nice! 'll read these all out later on the show.

    Can't believe they called that octopus Paul....What kind of a name is that for an aquatic creature? LOL!!
  • edited July 2010

    Hi Rich & Ed,

    Good luck with the show.

    Hate to be pragmatic, but if you're telling me that I'm definitely not going to cash, I'd rather go out with junk in the first level and then enter another tournament in which I presumably might be able to cash?!

    PS How do you know I'm not going to cash? Have you consulted Paul the octopus? ;-)

  • edited July 2010

    Alternatively I'd get it all in with a set versus Hellmuth only for him to hit runner runner quads - I would then stand up and diss him completely by saying  "Humph, these unknown internet players, they can't even spell poker!"

    Hey Boys, looking forward to the show tonight!

    I want to go out on the bubble against Mike 'the mouth' Matasou's 34 suited bb all in reraise...I would have AJ sooooooted obv...He would flop the wheel...goodnight Irene and hello double through for Mike who then goes on to vocally take the WSOP down! Helmuth would rail in a toga costume after going out in level1when his KK was busted by 22 :o)

    I REALLY need Paul the Octopus to be wrong!!!

    Hi Rich Ed

    Its the bubble, I have AA, I push, when suddenly a gorgeous woman (Read LM ;)) grabs me by the hand and leads me away and my AA gets beat by 23 off.

    Aargh, I emailed 7499, so closer but over.  Story of my life, I always overestimate the size of things. ;-)

    Sounds as if you have something in common with Ling, judging by the thread title ;-)

    I would like to known as the one that sent helmuth over the edge

    I would love to wind hellmuth up by annoying him for more than one hand with my short stack.   By going all in when he has raised with a genuine hand and out drawing him every time.  Only to have the tables turned when i have annoyed him and put him on tilt he plays a terrible hand against my aces and wins then i could moan at him. tina

    I'd get it all in preflop on the first hand on level one with AJ under the gun.  Get called by KK in the big blind.  I don't improve.

    I storm off muttering, "Lisa-Marie told me that AJ was the nuts"

    Norman Chad is speechless.
  • edited July 2010

    The exit hand would have to be my AA v KK v QQ v 22

    on a AKQ flop. Everyone AIPF and it comes runner runner 22.

    With obv Mr/mrs 22 going on to take the crown and this hand going on to be the most watched vid on U tube. (after a couple of TK's cuticle watch vids)

    It's late on day 2 and Jennifer Tilly has just been moved to my left.  We chat for a good half hour about her research for a role as a lifeguard and of course her five years working with St John's Ambulance.

    Then horror, I get one outed on the river.  This now allows me to fake a heart attack and I can lay back and enjoy a nice long CPR session from Ms Tilly.  Happy days!
  • edited July 2010

    I'll take a massive bad beat on the cash bubble... mainly because don't they normally get free entry in to the next year? Then i'll obviosuly come back the year after and crash out in the first level lol

    I had 20 quid on 4-0 to Holland, £6000 if I win, optimistic?

    A little bit maybe... I do think the Dutch will win, maybe not by 4 though lol

    it would have to be AA vs KK against barry greenstien as at least i would get a signed copy of his book. which then could be flogged on ebay for a small sum.

    good luck for the show tonight.

     Phil Laak knocks both me and Jennifer Tilly out at the same time With a wild 7 2 bluff, me with my kings and Jen with her Aces (Top pair without any argument) both call and he wins! In her fury she decides to get her own back and takes me back to her suite. Sorry Im getting to excited to finish this post off!
  • edited July 2010
    if i was going to go out...then i would like to be the only man on a table surrounded by cuticles all day and bust out on the last hand!!!  boy what a day that would be!!
