In Response to Re: SPT Manchester 2009-10: Leg 1 Manchester. Live Update and Competition : Is this going to be another update full of stereotype comments ?    I do hope so. Good luck to the Sky Team today and especially Tighty.  Hope it goes well. Good luck to everyone playing, especially any of the APAT guys, but you are all going to have to beat Ger 'The Duke' Smyth , who will be dealt his winning hand 1:53am .  He will probably be slightly drunk, but it will make for the best winners interview ever seen on SkyPoker.

Spoke to him this morning.  He's not drinking at all today as he has to drive to and fro.  He intends to take this tourney very serious.  With that in mind, I'll choose him as winner too, but go for a finish time of 1:30am.  Beware the sober Duke! 

Good luck with the updates Tighty.

Howdy folks and welcome to to the North West and the first leg of the second Sky Poker Tour.  There's a good deal of excited banter from the players who have arrived early to register for today's event.  Seen in the venue, Tikay; looking very smart in blazer, shirt and tie combo, Rich Orford, Ed Giddens, tour manager SPT Rich and mother hen Claire, clucking around the TV techies.  More as we get it....

Play is underway!

Table 1 has Richard Orford on it, so in a sense the other nine on his table, easy chips in prospect, are already winners

Anyone out yet???? lol

SPT

Competition closed by the way

Richard Orford still in.

Flashflush and 02.28, good luck guys!

In the first major hand I saw flour players saw a flop of 8-Q-K rainbow in a raised pot

Yetisnow check-called the flop, check called the turn, An Ace, and led the 3 river for 1250.

When his final opponent passed he flipped 8-8 for the flopped set.

Remember, I will try and answer all requests for the chip progress of your friends/family.

Just ask

End of the first level, no one out yet!

Dennis Taylor 3,575 of his 5,000 starting stack

Before the start tikay recounted the tale of of Dennis' 1985 World Championship win, the room was spellbound and Dennis received a nice ovation

FlashFlush 5,075. He has a tricky draw with Glitterbabe two to his right. Glitterbabe is apparently already "busy"

We have our first exit

Christian Garvin flopped top set with 10-10 on a 10-9-8 two diamond board

Michael Hadfield has Q-7 diamonds

Giving him flush and straight draw

The turn brough the flush, the river didn't bring the house and Christian departs
