This was my Post on Page 1 of this thread.....
"May as well get this out of the way first.
There IS a Live Stream, but it is NOT a Sky Poker Live Stream, it is sponsored by people who are not as nice as us, so no linking to it please.
Clue # 1 - goggle is your friend
Clue # 2 - The Stream is being done by the very same crew who do the Sky Poker Live streams, Phil the Tower etc....."
Thank You Tikay tho doesn't really help as i don't know name of company that does Sky Poker Live Streams (to google) so will check updates here. Would've been nice to watch it tho. gl all
Channel 865's very own Stuart Rutter doing some live commentary on the right and The Tower/ Phil who you would also recognise from the SPT'S
PS - Go away.
Mission is to get some pics of Ryan, Julian and Dan. Ryan can barely breath due to pulling his hoodie over his face!
Dinner break, a few Updates.
Dan has gone to a Mexican Restaurant for dinner, I think 5 or 6 of the boys have gone with him.
JingleMa 18,000
Penguin 35,000
Wayne 13,000
Sam 15,000
Giant Bloke, 20,000
Ryan 31,000
Thewy 14,000 (just lost a huge pot after failing to get villain off on the Turn, coulda been worse, villain was never folding top two)
Dan Brown 33,000
Lam Dang Mang 15,000
172 last year, 146 this I think (and 10 of the 146 are Sky)
Disappointing? Or in the right ball park?
Symptomatic of lots of competitor tours around, or a deeper malaise?
Good luck to all the players.
Someone (Dan) needs to put Claire in her place and take a picture of her and post it up. I usually get a few at SPT's but I'm too scared to post them, well, most of them. ;-)
TO BET HONEST WHEN YOU SAID GIANT WAS TALL I HAD THE PERCEPTION HE WAS STOCKIER ? NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER SPRINGS TO MIND !
Just interviewed Sam1986 - he's so cute I could cuddle him - thats all 10 interviewed, so Dan & Mother can get back to London, & I am now officially in charge here.
The Interviews will be edited & cut into a 30 minute Show, & on 865 quite soon I believe.
I will be on the late shift tonight, as play continues until end of Level 9, so around 1am.
Lets hope we can bring back a good few of our boys tomorrow, when the Tourney begins in earnest.
153 was the final total of runners.
I set the line last night @ 180, but a dealer said to me he would bet the bank on there being less than 160. Good shout, Sir.
The last player to buy in, with seconds to spare, was young James Williams, who has been back on Sky Poker of late, frequenting the Big Boys Cash Tables.
It is a lovely Tourney, it just needs a little freshen up. More than that, I could GUARANTEE to double the field size (you could near treble it) if they gave me/you the job to shift the seats. Truly, we could.
In fairness, they now have a very small Online Room - much smaller than Sky Poker these days I fancy - so that does not help.
Even so, if you want to sell seats, you need to get out there & make people aware.
I just can't grasp why they do not bother. In Sky Poker, if a Live Tourney was coming in short of numbers, Lords Milner, Harmer & Co would be all over it like a rash, & they'd be on the phone to you & me morning noon & night. They would allow us one failure, though, then they be getting a bit shouty wouty. Quite right too.
Man Overboard!
Sadly, we have lost GIANT.
He had around 10,000, & walked his Q-Q into the Big Blind's A-A. How can he have the Aces there?
Great lad, really.
To me, with what its profile should be, success would be 300 runners per leg, and far more satellite qualifiers.
Now then, special bonus for a good photo of Scotty77 please. Some say it might be impossible....
So, we are down to......
