Dantb had to be staked into the game as he (allegedly) only had the sort of money that crinkled ;o)
...after the button had conveniently passed Blandy by he decides that it should be a DMC game...DMC = Dealer Must Call...
Dantb was on the button first...ran like a god - calling the first DMC blind then turning over A....A lol!
I managed to take Blandy for about 4squid in flop bets too...higher red than 8 flopped A LOT!!
Dantb eventually took it down for £11.00 then decided to donate his winnings by playing 'the blind game' and dealt everyone 1 hand...the cards were turned over 1 card at a time, one player at a time with winner of the hand taking all... Sky_Adam is such a lucky fishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;o)
I have never laughed so much at a poker table...funniest game ever!!!!
THIS and the rest of the superb weekend is why I LOVE SPT's...Unfortunately I won't be going to Luton but can't wait for Leeds!!!!
Thanks to everyone for working so hard behind the scenes to make it such a memorable event...Excellent job Sky!!!
The future's bright...the future's orange xx
I just wanted to post to say congratulations to you all for making what was, for me at least, the most enjoyable SPT so far. We all know Wayne is a very capable player and I am sure the title is a nice little item to add to his poker resume. Congratulations go to Jamielou as well - I know Tikay for one thinks VERY highly of her tournament game and I have to say I was really impressed with the way she played.
A special mention to two other final tablists. Riddla managed to get a very big stack early on in the tournament and managed to glide through to the final table from there. I think he went a little card dead at the wrong time, but a third place finish is a very solid effort indeed!
I also hope we see more of Run Flaming on the site - she dominated her table with 27 players remaining and took a very sick beat with AA v AK on the final table to effectively end her chances of winning the tournament. Any quibbling for her though? Not one iota - took the beat with class and that's the sign of a fine poker player in my opinion.
Of course, these events are only as good as you lot make them. The players are very much the focus of Sky Poker and I think these tournaments are some of the most enjoyable you can take part in. I loved commentating on the event and was impressed by not just the play but the good spirit at the tables. Oh, and inventing 'DMC' at 4.30am was something of a personal brag. What a game! Although we need to make sure Dan doesn't get Kings on the button again. Run better?
SPT Newcastle = Epic. SPT Luton will be just as good I am sure. I just fear for the locals if the Ploppers all turn up as Lisa-Marie Long...
And thanks to everybody who attended to make the day very enjoyable, as they always seem to be. Long may it continue.
A very well run event wd done team SKY. Also it was great to meet lots of players and the atmosphere was great. I got knocked out 5 mins before the night tourney, I have to say the locals were very friendly and the banter at the tables was great.....Roll on the next one well done to all who cashed.
First of all i'd like to to say well done to Wayne on winning it, pretty happy with the 6th i got, enjoyed the day and everyone was very friendly.
I have only started playing regularly on sky for the last 6 weeks, so hopefully by the time Luton comes around i will recognise a few more of the names. So see you all there.
Thank you for the post. It was a really nice table to be on and and I agree it did change which was a shame but that is poker for you. Going to have a go for the next leg so might see you there. Debs

Hope to get to Leeds especially if there's a drink waiting
Firstly Well Done to Wayne "Glitterbabe" Rideout on winning the SPT & Well Done to Jamie-Louise who gave Wayne a Great Battle in the HU both played outstanding was a shame there had to be a winner.
SPT Newcastle was my 1st time at a Live Event & in a Casino, it was one of the best weekends of my life everyone i met was so friendly & it was good to put faces to the guys & girls i've played on Sky Poker over the last 18 months (doesn't seem that long).
Well Done to Dave Thompson (solar carro) & Graham Phipps (eyeman) both members of TKP who came 1st & 2nd in the Friday Night Freezeout & Mike Hudson (mike1975) who made Final Table in the Saturday Double Stack where he & 4 others chopped.
It was a great Experience & one which i will be having again when i go to SPT Leeds if i fail to get a seat i shall still be there to rail & maybe have a few Jaegerbombs.
Michael
