and thanks to the sky team for another great event
thanks james
And very well played Jamielou!
Well done wayne. The outcome was simples.
Jamie Lou, you're a star. Just hope you don't get a luckbox next time you're heads up.
congrats to both of you!
dont know how a cash player dare win it though!
Gliterbabe= Top Man, always got time for people, and a fabulous poker player!
2 fab results for Jamielou too, great stuff!
Newc has to be my favourite SPT so far, out of all i have attended. Im on my way back now on the train.
wpwpwp to Wayne and Jamie.. had my eyes on 1st, but not much room to manouvre 3 handed so had to make a stand at some point... no bink though.
See you in Nottingham for the Final
Good luck in the final. ill be there to get revenge lol.
Have just landed back home after rolling into the hotel at 6am, crawling out of my pit at 9am and then set off for the 2 hour drive back.
The weekend started off great in the Friday night game, I final tabled for 7th place so was chuffed at that! Huge well done to Solar Dave and Eyeman Graham on their 1st and 2nd place cashes too! Top men and very much deserved.
Dave Bland - did an AMAZING job on the commentary, was very impressed, another great guy there!
Thanks for all the support on the rail and on the forum, and especially from Mike, my Mum & Dad who all sat/stood/jumped/danced on the rail for the best part of 3 hoursa.
To get to the final table was amazing, but to then get heads up with Wayne was incredible/scary/exciting/did I mention scary?! He is undoubtedly for me one of, if not the, best player on Sky, and to top all that off he is a genuinely nice guy.
Thank you all again,
Hopefully see you in Luton!
Jamielou
P.s, did someone mention bragging rights?
I know he got some luck but top top player
I Got up to 12 thou then lost 10 of it to pre -flop all in with my AQ off vs A10 off - No tens but a heart on the turn + river - i didn,t see it at the time but before reaching out to gather my chips noticed 4 hearts on the board
looked again at my hand - no hearts - ovsiously he had one - Gutted
Another good day tho and learning experience + best venue so far
UL to Trip5 - I saw 3 way pot you won or rather thought you had won
with the arms in the air , Mickjenn out of his seat goin to bar and Nutty tart getting up until the guy with the mic ( dont know his name ) came over and spotted it was a 3 way split
Re: SPT Newcastle Live Update thread. Leg 2 of the 2010-11 Tour
First: 29/1/2010
Last: 6/1/2011
Friday night, 10 Tikay impersonators (think Elvis but better) hit the streets of Newcastle shaking hands with every local we meet on the way, "I'm Tony Kendall" "Who's Tony Kendall?" is the standard reply
Got to the casino and the 10 of us in a line make our way to greet our hero, timing is everything as we walk in just as Tikay has sat down at the tournament, the old man of poker is gobsmacked, but light bulb lights in his head! With 11 Tikays in this tournament he has a good chance of victory!! (he got 1-2)
The tournament is gruelling, 185 runners and with no antes this could be a long night, I am on a table with SPT champion elect Gliterbabe and an amazing hand ensues.....
I pick up J10 and see a flop heads up with GB, J94 I check to induce a bet and Wayne slow play checks, turn is another J, happy days so I check and GB shoves, I insta call with my set J but am stunned to see Wayne has 99 a turned boat, I am dealing this hand so am drawing to the paired board or quads, I river the 4 !!! Of course Wayne takes the beat as the gentleman he is!
Armed with the luck of MickJenn I progress in this tournament to final table which includes Eyeman and JamieLou, I am shortest stack with just 4BB, I doubled a few times and suddenly have a playable stack again, I ended up shoving with A7 into Eyeman's 99 and luckily flop an ace to double again.
More good fortune later and myself, Eyeman and a local 18 yr old chap agree to split the top 3 money, as chip leader I took £900, Graham took £675 and the young lad £675, cracking money for a live tournament and my best result ever!
Saturday, TeamKnightPlop in Orange shirts adorned Aspers and took on Sky's finest, we took an early exit when Jaegerplop ran KK into AK preflop and A binked, I made a solid start doubling early to 10k, Eyeplop went early doors (Friday night exertions prob didn't help) Foxyplop bowed out when he lost 2 close pots in a row. SuperShazplop exited soon after and Yorkieplop followed suit, the team ran 4 strong for a while and then we lost Hoggplop and Geekplop leaving SirSolar and Trippyplop shortstacked. I lost a 60/40 flip to exit 53rd and Irene trooped on for 27th.
With TKP all out quicker than the Australian test team we set up some SNG's with Trevor Harris and had a fun night finishing well after the main event.
We all railed the FT and gave our 2 faves JamieLou and GB good wishes, never in doubt though and a fab result for Wayne and Jamie - well done you two!!
No Luton for me so look forward to Leeds !!!!!!!!!!! SPT FTW
Tikay and Tikay multi accounting
congrats to all the sky tem on another well run event
roll on Luton
My first SPT and it was brilliant! I really enjoyed it and it was fab meeting lots of you that I've played with for what seems a long time now - thanks everyone it was awesome!
A huuuuge congrats to Sir Solar and Eyeplop for coming 1,2 on the Friday and to GB for a brilliant comeback to win on the Saturday, and WOW just how good was JamieLou!!! Very well played both of you!

I also think CT won the closest bet. Someone did post 42nd and 27,000 chips but this was posted after sky had announced the competition to be closed!! If that had been posted 5 minutes earlier it would have won!!
Just wanted to say Thank You to Sky for a wonderful day and well done for all the hard work you put in to making it a great event.
Was really nervous on my 1st SPT and even more so when I realised had Tikay on my table but everyone was really friendly and it was a great table. Tikay is a gentleman and made me laugh with his antics.
I finished 22nd and some of the hands i played were entertaining to say the least. Thought I was going out of the comp a few times but managed to pull through and even quadrupled up on one hand before tea.
Thank you again and now I have the bug I want to go to the next leg lol

Once again and I really can't say it enough a truly fantastic weekend, so many great people and players that come from all over the country to all meet in one place....
Win/lose or draw I love these events so to win one at last is a nice bonus....The final table was a cagey affair and everyone played terrific... I had my fair share of some bad luck earlier on in the tournament and found myself down to 1700 chips blinds 400/800... So too bounce back from that took a load of run good luck
I was feeling pretty confident when we were down to 4 players and the rungood like mickGODjenn was continuing....To get HU with Jamielou was just great she played really really well and if I wasn't such a luckbox she would have won.....
Well done again to everyone at Sky for putting these great events on , you all work tirelessly and I can't thank you all enough....and of course a big thank you to the Wife and everyone one else who railed us all on the final table .. many many thanks ....
GB
