I need to be a bit diplomatic too, but I would like to see the tour succeed. Many in UK Poker owe the GUKPT a lot, I think. 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.... Posted by SPT
I would LOVE it to be successful, Rich, as it was THE first real Tour, I have great memories of it, & it was responsible for all the Live Tours we now see, it was a real groundbreaker, taking over from the previous local Fessies.
Maybe the week-long Fessies will make a comeback, who knows?
Meanwhile, we can all stay @ home & play @ Sky Poker.com. Now that one IS growing, like no other.
Photo of Scotty? OK, I'll take that as a challenge. On my way.
Nice to see that Lum Wong Ming is relaxed on the feature table but he makes me nervous each time he is in a pot and doesn't cover his cards!! Posted by dylan12
Good spot Dyl.
It is his FIRST EVER Live Game, so we tried to give him a quick crash course on Live Poker before play commenced.
The lad in yellow - just visible between Scotty & Thewy, is "Magic Sami". He's been playing here for 12 years to my certain knowledge. Bit feisty, but decent enough chap really.

P.S. Go do some work otherwise I will tell Mr Milner that you are skiving
115 of the 153 runners remain @ the end of Level 6, & they are now on a 15 min break.
Chip Leader is Tim Blake, aka T8MML, which is a truly remarkable story.
If you take a look on the Sky Poker You Tube Channel, you will see I interviewed him in Vegas last year, he was bright & bubbly, never ever moaned, always cheerful, my idea of a proper bloke.
3 weeks later he had a massive stroke, & was totally paralysed down one half of his body.
His recovery was slow at first - in fact, many of us were surprised he recovered at all, & facebook was rammed with "get well soon" messages for him, but even though he is still in quite poor physical shape, he is on the mend.
Mother & I had brekkie with him & his long-suffering missus this morning, & he told us the whole story of his recovery, we were welling up.
Ouch - Wum Ling Ming is OUT. I arrived on the scene of the car crash a bit late, but I think he had K-Q v A-J, Board gave him 2 pair, but that gave villain the straight. x-K-Q-x-10 What a grand chap he is, too. Believe it or not, he is 59 years old. Incred. Posted by Tikay10
Came accross as a very likable chap on teh stream. VUL Wum Ling Ming but vwp and I hope he now has the bug for live poker.

In Response to Re: TSP GUKPT @ J10 LU FTW : 93. Lord Milner gives me 10p for every player I persuade to wear a Sky Poker patch. He's so generous. Posted by Tikay10
I wouldn't put it past you to get 93 people to wear them though!
I think Lord Milner has gauged your value pretty good there

There is a VLV Quarter Final at NINE PM (2100) tonight.
1 in 5 go through to join the players below in tomorrow's Semi-Final.
Tomorrow week, at LEAST one player will get a phone call from Sky Poker, "congrats on winning your £10,000 package to Las Vegas".
It could be YOU, but you gotta be in it to win it.
It is his FIRST EVER Live Game, so we tried to give him a quick crash course on Live Poker before play commenced.
I'll go across & word him shortly.
Thanks.
PS - Go away.
I have won the Tighty Challenge.

Can't find Tayseer, but can't confirm either way yet. Will check again shortly, we are currently on break.
Wayne - 32k
Think there is one more Level remaining, so we might just bring quite a strong team back tomorrow.
Looks like Tayseer is a goner, ugh.
