** Official WSOP Thread: Day 1d - Julian Thew!! **

Sky_Dave

An old man, not Tikay.

Well, didn't they do well?!

Day 1C was a much needed boost to the Sky Poker camp here after both Andrew and Peter showed that the older lads can still play some cards. They both glided through the day, with Peter even getting to star under the bright lights of the ESPN Feature Table.

Today it's the turn of our sponsored pro, Julian Thew. He's been smashing up tournaments around Europe for years now, and does well enough in Las Vegas too, having won a few Venetian Deep Stacks just over the road. However, he's yet to make an impression on the WSOP Main Event in the past, which surprises us and him. He's going to try and sort that out though, starting today.

I'm confused, Dave. Were there cameras at the feature table? ESPN announced (back in April) that they're only televising this year's tournament from Day 3 onwards...

They recorded parts of it, and I suspect there'll be some coverage in the final edit. There wasn't a full blown crew on the table though - the Day 3 televised element you mention is the live broadcast they're doing (with a 30 minute delay...)

Good luck to Thewy and also Reds, plus the tilt merchent Beneah if he is playing  

Sky_Dave

Here was our man in action, just to give you some idea of how immense that stage was. And how bright the lights were

TommyD

Good luck!!!

Can I just say as well having watched these interviews - I enjoyed them all last year but imo they are even better this year, the quality of filming and editing are excellent, great work Claire!! Obviously the interviewer has not improved much from last year Love the way Gramps asks everyone to attend the Sky Poker Tour Final, great stuff!! 

SHAUNY

Mr Bland is just back and about to put them up

Sky_Dave

I am indeed back. Sorry for the delay sports fans - both rooms are PACKED and getting all of the pics took over an hour. That and I just walked for the nation.

Anyway... CHIP COUNTS!!

Thewy: 23k
Reds: 31k
Beaneh: 27k (ish)

None of the three seem to have overly tricky tables, and while I am not sure how Thewy took the dent, I am sure we'll a) find out on the break and b) he'll be just fine with his table set up.

The line up out there is pretty impressive. Out there are the likes of John Juanda, Barry Greenstein, Jennifer Harman, Tom Dwan, Phil Laak, Huck Seed and ElkY. That's literally the tip of the iceberg, too. I'm going to be adding pics to the gallery and it is a who's who, so do have a look at www.skypoker.com/wsop when you get a moment.

That's a great interview with Jesse May. The man is a legend but he needs a dresser!
