Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Sky Poker @ GUKPT Coventry Main Event
So the GUKPT is well underway in Coventry, at the fantastic venue of the Ricoh Arena.
Tomorrow is the 1070£ Main Event and I shall be there representing Team Sky Poker.
Julian Thew will also be playing, as will the great man himself Tony Kendall. SPT champion James Williams should also be there.
I will be updating my progress on twitter http://twitter.com/#!/scotty_77 for those who don't already have it. I will be playing the 6pm flight.
I believe that Tikay will be in the noon flight, and unsure about Thewy.
As far as I know, this isn't an official TSP event, and there won't be updates from Sky within the venue however I am sure that all of our twitters will carry updates. Also there is usually a live stream at GUKPTs, so google is your friend....and the GUKPT site usually carries an official blog, updated by recent 865 show guest Jen Mason.
Anyone else here playing? Or tempted to try a last minute sat? The Ricoh is a great venue and they should havs sats running for this today so if your local and wanna take a shot then good luck

good luck ryan, tikay, ljamesl and yo.
Yes, unless work intervenes - & it might, it's an incredibly hectic week - I'll be there, playing the Noon Flight.
Thewy is playing the Noon flight, too, & Ryan is playing the 6pm Flight.
Not sure what Flight James is playing, but by an odd coincidence, I shared a Table with him at Coventry the day before yesterday - the day James exit from TSP was announced! - in a GUKPT Sidey. Fun table it was, too, incredibly so, & if time permitted, I'd do a Blog, there were some right characters @ the Table, including a rich old lady, (donated her entire stack to James & I in Level 1!*) & a drug dealer. Fun stuff.
Updates? Someone else may need to spell this out, as I have to be careful with mentioning "next door", as was evident in a mean jibe made a few weeks ago on here. But there will be a Live Update by a well-known Poker Forum, & you may rest 100% assured that it will give prominence to any & all Sky Poker players.......
* The Rich elderly lady paid me off with 1 pair v my House, & paid James off on an A high Board with one pair v James SET of Aces...... The drug dealer? Well that's another story, but it nearly kicked off big time.....
My Twitter handle is "twitter@Tony_Kendall", & I'll try & tweet some titbits, but I must say, when I was there on Tuesday, & the internet connection was awful, & I was barely able to get a Tweet to "go".
As some of you may know, the Casino @ Coventry is wholly underground, in fact, it is TWO floors underground. Even more bizarre, it is two floors beneath a Championship football pitch.
You can't make this stuff up, eh?
You guys have got the good life
Also any bloggs you put up mate would be very welcome cos they are always a good read
I've also had an amazing year in poker via staking other players, (I have "interests" in 3 or 4 players in the Cov GUKPT), & so I thought I'd treat myself.
Groan, several adverse comments noted on a social-media site already.....
For the record, I am NOT playing as a TSP Member, or Sky Poker player, I'm playing on my own money.
Be there, then you can bust me yourself......
Yes mate your def right. you get out of life what you put into it.
Best of luck at the tourney and gl with the staking also

I'm not going to get into an argument with you Alan, or derail the thread.
The fact is, you made the smear against my integrity & even-handedness in PUBLIC, (via a Forum Post) & apologised in PRIVATE, (via Text). If you don't see the injustice & irony in that, you are not trying very hard.
You did remove the Post, but not before others quoted it, & as far as I know, the quote of your Post is still there.
I am happy to clarify that the comments this morning on the Social-Media site were NOT by you.
Throwing out these innuendos (often under cover of "smileys") & then withdrawing them does not help much - once they are Posted, removal does not make them disappear, the damage is done. It would be better if you refrained from such stuff, please.
If you do play it, good luck, win the lot.
We began with 10k, & I had....
End of Lev 1, 20k
End of Lev 2 30k
End of Lev 3, 35k
End of Lev 4, 5k
End of Level 5 - stats still awaited.....
I'm reverting to being Lord Nit in future.
My dream Table Draw? Not fussed, but if Hursty were playing, I'd DEMAND he be on my Table. I own him, you know.
I think I near felted him @ DTD with something filthy like 4s-2s.
At Leeds, I busted his K-K with Q-5, iirc.
Love the kid, love him.
Fair play, he takes it like a man though.
I bet there will be more people there for this than they get for the football.
