WSOP 2009 & The Sky Poker Fab Five - Wednesday 3rd June 09

Filed under: All About WSOP 2009 — admin @ 2:36 pm

Yes, at last, after so many trials and tribulations, tantrums and tears, super satellites and SNG’s, finals and failures, here are the Fab Five who will represent Team Sky Poker at WSOP 2009, in Las Vegas in June and July. 
 
Winners of the Vegas-Lite package, worth £4,000, are…
 
dantb10.
Haysie.
 
And winners of Viva Las Vegas packages, each worth £10,000, are…
 
POKERBCITY
FREELANCER
Nutter5932.
 
Wow - now THAT is a high class five-a-side team! Click here to see their profiles
 
I’m absolutely delighted for every one of them.
 
Flight tickets, hotel suites, da de da, are being booked right now. The Support Team will arrive a day or so before the players - that’s camera crews, TV Producer, Mother Hen (Claire Cook - or Lady Cook as we call her, she is Miss Fix-It round here) and James Hartigan and myself. We got the short straw when the Vegas gig was up for grabs. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.
 
There will be phone-ins to the show most nights, live and direct from the WSOP Cardroom floor and in real-time, daily blogs and updates, photos, you name it, we’ll be doing it. I really hope the Sky Poker community get behind our Team - it really helps, you know.
 
We are hoping that a few of the Fab Five will be at DTD on June 13th & 14th to play in the Sky Poker UK Tour Grand Final. So if you plan to play that, you’ll be able to wish them good luck, bon voyage and win the lot!
 
The Vegas Blog will be written and uploaded daily during the time the Fab Five are in Vegas, and it will be written immediately when play finishes each day. That’s midnight Vegas time, so as the UK is 7 hours ahead, it will be uploaded in the UK mid-morning, all being well.
 
Vegas Baby!
 
Sky Poker. Serious about WSOP 2009

A fortnight? It seemed more like 2 weeks to me. Monday 25th May 09

Filed under: A Day in the Life of Tikay... — admin @ 12:34 pm

A  fortnight? It seemed more like 2 weeks to me.  Monday 25th May 09
 
The poker whirligig seems to go round ever faster.

The last few weeks have been seriously hectic, but entirely pleasurable.
 
In-Poker visited Edinburgh and Newcastle respectively, and got some grand footage at both.
 
The journey to Edinburgh was a nightmare though, as my flight from lovely East Midlands was cancelled, and I had to get another from Birmingham. And that meant my car was at the wrong airport when I flew home on Monday, sigh. Ah well, it happens.
 
Newcastle is around 160 miles from my home, so I elected to swerve a flight and drive up there, and very pleasant it was. But the Hotel we stayed at in Newcastle was a bit special. I’ll give you a clue. It was called the “Royal Station Hotel”. Yup, you’ve got it. Not only was it attached to Newcastle Station, but it actually overlooked the platforms! Happy days. Actually, happy nights too, because the noise of the trains kept me awake all night.
 
That apart, it was all a little eerie in Newcastle, because it was the last day of the Premiership season. Say no more.
 
Due to shift rota complications, Rich Ofrord and I have had a temporary divorce, and so I’ve done my last couple of shows with Michelle Orpe. And she’s, how shall I put it, “different” to Rich. I’m absolutely convinced Michelle is female, I really am. Not much gets past me, eh?
 
My PTP rota was a bit messed up, so I ended up doing 4 nights in 2 weeks, and had mixed results. I invested £145 in various online poker tourneys, for a total return of £190, not spectacular, but OK. I paid into “Primo” (£50 + £5), and failed to Cash, so that made a big difference. In future, I’ll try and satellite into that, and if I fail, I won’t play it. Bankroll Management is absolutely paramount.
 
In online cash, a small Profit of £57 ensued, again, not exciting, but I’m fine with that. Small is good in my world.
 
In live poker, I’ve been too busy to play, but I managed one outing at Luton, and contrived to chop up the Monday affair at Luton, cashing for £850. So that’s my pension taken care of for a few weeks. When we chopped it up, I was Chip Daddy, so I took the most money, but the actual winner turned out to be a local, who was playing (judging by his style and game) his first ever tournament. He had an odd shove-monkey style, but good luck to him, if it works, don’t knock it. IMO, innit?
 
With the Swansea leg of the GUKPT out of the way, all focus is now on the Sky Poker UK Tour Grand Final, at DTD on June 13th and 14th.  With nearly 3 weeks to go, over 104 players are now registered for this baby. Sky Poker are running online satellites galore for this, and details of them, and more about what will be a corking weekend, can be found here…
 
http://www.skypoker.com/uk-tour-final/
 
But before THAT, we have our last Vegas Finals this weekend, on Saturday (Vegas-Lite) and Sunday (Viva Las Vegas). All the details are in the other Blogs, but really, save yourself time, don’t read them, the message is this. QUALIFY NOW.
 
Now, a quick “get well” message for Sky Poker regular “AceBarry”, who rails all the Play The Presenter evenings. He’s a good guy, but has been a bit under the weather lately. Get well soon Big Man.
 
Now, if I’m not busy enough already, I’ve been helping out a bit in the Sky Poker Office, preparing for the Team Sky Poker foray to Vegas in June and July to look after our qualifiers. Press Credentials are being arranged, visas organized, plane and hotel tickets booked, all sorts. None of which I helped with, but I did offer to carry the bags.
 
How are you guys getting on with the new “Mini-View” tables? I’m pleasantly surprised how easy they are to use - they really are a doddle.
 
Well, that’s me done for this week.
 
Did you know, by the way, that the collective term for prawns is a “preponderance”? No? Well there you go.
 
Sky Poker. Serious about Poker. And prawns.
 
Take care now, and be lucky.

“Vegas-Lite, will FREELANCER be freerolling? Monday 25th May09

Filed under: All About WSOP 2009 — admin @ 12:32 pm

Vegas-Lite, will FREELANCER be freerolling? Monday 25th May09
 
Amazingly, FREELANCER, who just missed out on the first of our £10,000 Viva Las Vegas packages this year, only to bounce back remarkably and win it the following month, has now qualified for this weekend’s £4,000 Vegas-Lite Final, too!
 
Top man him.
 
So far, the line-up for this Saturday’s Final looks like this…
 
CHIPCHAP
FREELANCER
RAIZOR
Sharksbite
yeababy69.
 
But with daily qualifiers this week, that number will rise by a few, and anyway, it matters not, because one £4,000 Package is guaranteed. So someone HAS to win it.
 
Details of how to qualify are here…..
 
http://wsop.skypoker.com/cms/wsop/wsop-vegas-lite-package.shtm
 
Amazingly, there is a £44 + £4 Semi-Final at 6pm on Saturday which already has 24 entrants, with 1 seat guaranteed for every 10 runners. So that could end up with over 30 runners, meaning at least 3 more runners in the Final later that evening, at 10pm.
 
I really think there is going to be a late rush of interest for this package. It’s worth £4,000 and includes flight tickets for two, a suite at the Rio, enough cash to enter the $1,500 NLH Event on June 29th, some spending money and full membership of Team-Sky-Poker 2009. And T-S-P 2009, including our TV Crew, are going to Rail all our players every step of the way, and in-between. We’ll chill a little, play a little and schmooze a little. Sleep is optional, and not recommended.
 
We’re going to Vegas to play some poker. Oh yes.
 
Wanna come with us? You know what to do then. Get qualifying.
 
Oh, and one more thing. Good Luck.

Viva Las Vegas - your last chance is THIS SUNDAY! Monday 25th May09

Viva Las Vegas - your last chance is THIS SUNDAY! Monday 25th May09
 
Yes, if you want to win one of our Sky Poker Viva Las Vegas £10,000 packages, this is the last opportunity you will have this year.
 
The “Final Final” will be on Sunday night at 21.30, but you can still qualify as cheap as chips in our various satellites - details are here…
 
http://wsop.skypoker.com/cms/wsop/wsop-vegas.shtm
 
Two players are on the plane already - if you get my drift - and they are POKERBCITY, who also won this package last year and scooped over $40,000, and FREELANCER.
 
Bidding to be on the same jet plane, and already in this Sunday’s Final, are…
 
anjie1970
CANBLUFF
CHALKY107
GliterBabe
mickace
Nutter5932
offshoot
rubes
sam1986

I’d really like to wish every one of them - and you - the very best of luck in qualifying.
 
The Team Sky Poker RoadCrew are waiting to look after you and help you to have a great trip to Vegas, so come on, what are you waiting for?
 
Now, it’s veeeeeeeeery hot in Vegas in July, so you’ll need suntan lotion, shorts, bikinis, sunhats, and that goes for the Ladies, too.
 
Oops - hold on - you’ve not qualified yet, have you? Well it’s time you did.
 
Don’t forget, this is the last week, so if you want to be there with Team Sky Poker in 2009, get qualifying today. There’s not a moment to lose. But there is a lot you could win! Fancy winning the biggie? Last year’s winner of the Main Event scooped over $9,000,000!
 
It could be yoooooooouuuuuuuu!

Viva Las Vegas - Any More for any More? - Monday 18th May 09

Filed under: All About WSOP 2009 — admin @ 5:59 pm

“Viva Las Vegas - Any More for any More? - Monday 18th May 09
 
POKERBCITY and FREELANCER are sorted - flights & hotel are being booked for them, da de da, & the race to join them in Las Vegas with Team Sky Poker is heating up a treat.
 
Our last Final for this £10,000 package will be on Sunday 31st May, & there are 8 qualifiers for that already:

anjie1970
CANBLUFF
CHALKY107
GliterBabe
Nutter5932
offshoot
rubes
sam1986
 
Attempting to gain entry to that Final, via one of our weekly Semi-Finals, are…
 
djblacke04
guy1964
Hjaltland
varney
 
Wanna join them? The nuts and bolts of “how” are here…..
 
http://wsop.skypoker.com/cms/wsop/wsop-vegas.shtm
 
And there is a lot more than just “dry” splurge on there - we have all sorts of Las Vegas news, views, piccies, videos, facts & that sort of stuff. And a pretty naff Blog………
 
Now, after this weekend there will be only ONE more Semi-Final & ONE more Final. So if I were you (& fortunately for you, I’m not) I’d get cracking on qualification a bit sharpish. If that jet plane, and Team Sky Poker, goes without you, there’ll be a curly lip or two.
 
It’s really getting pretty exciting now this year’s Vegas Trip, & you will be able to read all about it on the Sky Poker Blogs. But I bet you’d rather be there. I’m not wrong, am I?
 
Go on, give it a spin.
 
Good Luck”

Vegas-Lite - The Value Route to Vegas - Monday 18th May 09

“Vegas-Lite - The Value Route to Vegas - Monday 18th May 09

We now have three runners qualified for our second, and last, Vegas-Lite Final, which takes place on Saturday May 30th. The Package is worth £4,000, & full details can be found here;

http://wsop.skypoker.com/cms/wsop/wsop-vegas-lite-package.shtm

The threesome is:

CHIPCHAP
RAIZOR
yeababy69.

This Saturday we hold the penultimate Semi-Final for Viva Las Vegas, and there are already (as of Wednesday 20th) 7 qualified for this, bidding to join Chipchap, Raizor & yeababy. Namely:

JACKS2000
LambMadras
luciousl07
MADPATDOTC
MaggiesDad
MARTYRRFC
spence1967.
 
Good luck all of those, and note MaggiesDad in there - he was part of Team Sky Poker in Vegas last year. Can MaggiesDad - aka Mike Quinlan, who was at the Swansea Leg of the SPUKT last week - do the double? We shall see.

“dantb”, of course, has already booked his passage to Las Vegas with Team Sky Poker, so if you wanna come to the party, it’s time to get your skates on.
 
Now, in the Vegas-Lite “Final” on Saturday May 30th, there is one player in 10 guaranteed to get the £4,000 package, so even if the Final only makes 7 or 8 players, the Package is still guaranteed. And that is called valooooooooo.

There is no better value anywhere. Honest injun.
 
Daily qualifiers start for about the price of a sausage sandwich, which could lead to a £4,000 Package, and that in turn to a possible million dollar payday.

Qualify now. You know it makes sense.
 
Sky Poker, serious about sense.

Viva Las Vegas - time is running out- 11th May 09

“Viva Las Vegas - time is running out-  11th May 09

There is only one Viva Las Vegas Final remaining if you want to be part of Team Sky Poker at the WSOP 2009.

The Final with take place on Sunday May 31st, and it’s a beautifully structured Online Poker Tournament, with 5,000 chips and 15 minute Blinds. 15 minute blinds are HUGE - equivalent to one hour Blinds in Live HoldEm Poker, so there can be no excuses - the best players should be the ones who slug it out at the sharp end.

One seat is guaranteed for every 10 players, and these six have already booked their Seats in the May 31st shootout;

CHALKY107
GliterBabe
Nutter5932
offshoot
rubes
sam1986

rubes qualified this weekend, so he’s sitting comfortable with the other 5, but if you want to join them, there are just over 2 weeks for you to get yourself a Seat.

Two players have already won Viva Las Vegas £10,000 packages - POKERBCITY and FREELANCER, while dantb10 won himself the £4,000 Vegas-Lite package.

Sky Poker are getting really busy with WSOP 2009 now, we are in constant dialogue with Harrahs, who own and run the WSOP, flight tickets are being booked, Hotels ditto, and Team Sky Poker are busy doing this and that to make sure all our qualifiers have the trip of a lifetime.

I will be there helping out, but I won’t be playing - but you can be there AND play. Fancy some of that? Well what are you waiting for? Qualify now. Before it’s too late.

Sky Poker. Serious about WSOP 2009. With added nagging”.

Viva Las Vegas Lite “Yeababy! 11th May 09

Filed under: All About WSOP 2009 — admin @ 12:11 pm

Viva Las Vegas Lite  “Yeababy! 11th May 09

Our Vegas-Lite Final draws ever nearer, and with “RAIZOR” having already booked his Seat, he has now been joined by “yeababy” who won his Seat last weekend.

In case you forgot - how could you? - the Sky Poker Vegas-Lite Package is worth £4,000, and includes return flights to Las Vegas for TWO people, Hotel accommodation at The Rio, spending money, enough cash to enter the 500 WSOP 2009 Bracelet Event, and you’ll be part of “Team Sky Poker”.

We don’t send you to Vegas alone, we look after you properly. If you fancy a few small Tourneys around town, at Caesars Palace, or The Venetian, that’s just the ticket, because I’ll come with you, and we’ll have a blast. Or maybe you just want to admire the Las-Vegas - Boulder City Railroad. You do? Happy days!

Go on, enter it - you know you want to.

We only have two more Sky Poker Vegas-Lite Semi-Finals, before the last of our Finals takes place on Saturday 30th May.

So there’s no time to waste - it’s no good moaning in June that you wished you’d entered, it’ll be too late then.

Qualify NOW!

Sky Poker, serious about poker, and Lite-hearted.

The Ups and downs of Poker - Monday 11th May09

Filed under: A Day in the Life of Tikay... — admin @ 11:59 am

“The Ups and downs of Poker - Monday 11th May09
 
I was chirping for England in my last blog, having turned a profit on all fronts, Live, Online, my Sky Poker PTP Account, and on my personal Sky Poker Account.
 
Well I managed a complete reversal last week, and lost on almost every single front! Not much, mind, but this is why we need - above all else - to keep a tight rein on our Bankroll, because variance is a powerful and unpredictable thing.
 
I never cashed in a single MTT, and my Sky Poker DYM progress was, at best, poor, with 19 played, of which I only won 11, meaning I managed to lose 8 out of 19. This is not good. A small profit resulted - £45 - so I suppose I should not complain, but I really need to do better than that.
 
On the Live front, I was only able to play one Event, due to a busy schedule, but the one Event was a decent one, Sunday’s £100 Freezeout at lovely Luton.
 
I had a cracking starting table, which included Graham Pound - he’s been winning Tourneys for over 20 years - Dave Courteney, who’s fast and loose, and WSOP Bracelet winner Willie Tann, who is still quite a handful despite his advancing years.
 
The better the quality of opponent, the easier it is to play, and my 8,000 starting stack was 14,000 by the end of Level Two, meaning I was the Chip Daddy on our Table. Easy game this, and I was pretty sure I’d Final as we wandered off for our first break, at 5,30pm. Play resumed at 5.45pm, and I was on the M1 driving home by 6pm. Neat trick that!
 
How so? Well, I like to play small-pot poker, and I rarely risk much of my stack early doors, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. Here’s the coup. I find K-K in late position, it goes Raise (early position), Call, Call, so when it gets to me I pot it. They all Pass, exactly as planned. I just love it when a plan comes together. Except they did not all Pass - Willie Tann now re-Raised me! What? WHAT?
 
Now, Willie knows my game inside out, and me his. He’s perfectly capable of making a move on me, and that was my thought - he has nothing. So I snap-jammed him, there, how do you like THAT Mr Willie Tann? When he insta-called, I knew his hand before he turned it over, and sure enough, he had the Aces. Well played, tikay. NOT.
 
I was pretty cross with myself - this was perfectly getoffable, it really was. But, to be fair, he could do that with no-hand, too. On balance, I think I should have let go.
 
So, down to 2,000, I went on the tear, looking to get back in the game, but I got caught after three successful shoves, and that was that. Owned!
 
So, no food for the cat this week. Pah.
 
On Thursday, in preparation for our new sexy sooper-dooper Studio, we rehearsed for 9 hours straight, followed by another 6 hours on Friday.
 
And then, at 9pm, Rich Orford, with me as sidekick, commenced the first ever Show with our new “magic” set. All the Suits were watching closely, so it was a bit nerve racking, but, as usual, we got by, in a fashion.
 
The Show ended at Midnight, and it was straight down to Swansea then, with Rich Orford & Michelle Orpe as passengers, and we arrived in Swansea at around 3am.
 
The week’s highlight was the Swansea Leg of the SPUKT - see separate Blog. What a day we had!
 
And so, on Sunday morning, I headed back to London, dropping Mich and Rich off at the Studios, then I planned to drive up the M1 to home, in Derbyshire. But to drive home, I had to pass Luton, and I could not resist diverting to play the £100 Freezeout. Still, it did not add much time to the journey, ahem.
 
Now, some quick snippets of news for you. First of all, if you are one of our Northern Ireland based players, please see….
 
https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?action=show_static&page=pkrnews_skypokertvchanges
 
Next, as you know, 5 nights a week, “Play the Presenter” has become a regular and much enjoyed feature of Sky Poker, and so we are trying to improve the experience, and get to play on more, and different, Tables. So, from now on, there will NOT be a dedicated “PTP TABLE”. Instead, we will just move from Table to Table, wherever there are spare Seats, so that way, we can chill with more players. Also, the Presenters will now play the evenings 9pm “Main Event”, which is pretty cool, as on Friday 15th, I am the PTP-er, and that means I can play, for the first time, our “Primo”. Happy Days!
 
Well, that’s it for this week. Next week, I hope to tell you that positive variance has kicked in, and I have had a winning week. Note the optimism embodied in that word - “hope”.
 
We shall see.”

SPUKT, Leg 5 - Swansea Stunner Monday 11th May09

Filed under: A Day in the Life of Tikay... — admin @ 11:48 am

“SPUKT, Leg 5 - Swansea Stunner Monday 11th May09

 The Sky Poker UK Tour road show decamped to South Wales on Saturday, for Leg Five of this spectacular Tour, and once again, all Seats were taken months in advance.

 Swansea was bathed in bright spring sunlight on Saturday morning, and on a quick amble around Town, I was surprised to see that Swansea has a beach! I suppose most places on the coast do, but for some reason, it never struck me as a seaside Town. There you go, live and learn. It has a Castle too - who’d have thought it? I really need to get out more.

Our host Venue for the day was the quite spectacular Aspers Casino, and when I arrived at 11am, Sky Poker’s Sarah Brompton - many of you will have met him - was already hard at work, setting up the Meet and Greet Table. The Staff at these Events really work their socks off.

By 11.30am the players had started arriving, and it’s a wonderful thing to see so many folks who have all set out to have a fun day, doing their thing - tournament poker - with such high hopes of just hooking up with their fellow Sky Poker players. A bond, a kinship, a community has grown out of these SPUKT Events, and to be honest, the players are not overly fussed whether they win or not, it’s just about having a good day.

Two Sky Poker Film Crews were present - The Club were represented by Producer Chris Cohen and Presenter Dan Lobb, whilst In-Poker had Jill and Anneka behind the camera, and Compo and myself the other side.

At 2pm, to the second, with 134 players safely at their seats, the Poker Tournament began, and within 10 minutes that amazing sound of a dealer shouting out “PLAYER-ALL-IN - and CALLED” rung out. We were to hear that about 130 times before the day was out!

Amongst the players were Richard Orford and Michelle Orpe - neither of whom were to survive for long - but upon exiting, they began a marathon session of Play The Presenter SNG’s. I believe Richard Orford played 11 of them. Without cashing once……he’s a terrific sport, he really is, and players target the Presenters, so getting a result is not easy, but Rich takes it all in his stride. He told me he’s quite used to losing, in fact. Ho-hum.

The Tournament, despite a decent early structure, seemed to play very fast, and the exits were fast and furious. “GREGHOGG” and “MaggiesDad”, both Sky Poker Vegas 2008 veterans, were present, if not entirely correct, both exiting without troubling the judges. Or the cashiers.

 By 11pm, we had our Final Table, and it looked like this;

 Seat 1, Matt Chamberlain, aka “SIRBETALOT”, 83,500 chips.

 Seat 2, Carole Jones, aka “pokahontas”, 69,500 chips.

 Seat 3, Charles Overton, aka “FlashFlush”, 11,400 chips.

 Seat 4, John Howells, aka TENOFSPADES”, 62,000 chips.

 Seat 5, Terry Attwater, aka “cia260895″, 65,900 chips.

 Seat 6, Kevin Standen, aka “Kevin1968″, 116,000 chips.

 Seat 7, Aaron Hopkins, aka “RonMcDon”, 100,100 chips.

 Seat 8, Chris Sproulle, aka Sparrowkiss”, 45,000 chips.

 Seat 9, Phil Jenkins, aka “Phil12UK”, 7,000 chips.

 With nearly £2,000 to the winner, plus the coveted Grand Final Seat (value £220) on offer to the Top Ten finishers, it was a bit more serious now, but all credit to the players, who behaved impeccably all day, and played their poker in tremendous spirit.

Blinds were now 4,000, 8,000, with a 1,000 Running Ante, so several players needed to get busy early, notably Phil and Charles. The favourites, by virtue of their awesome towers of chips, were Kevin and Aaron.

The Final started in spectacular style, with the two Chip-Daddies - Kevin and Aaron - clashing almost immediately, in a hand which saw Kevin felted, but not quite out, and a double-up for Aaron. 

Almost inevitably, Phil was first to exit in 9th place, in a 3 way coup which also saw original Final Table Chip Daddy Kevin Standen departed in 8th. Phil had shown quite exceptional sportsmanship earlier, when he found Aces, and his opponent, who had jokingly said “I call” to Phil’s shove, was allowed to Pass, when, technically, a Call was obligatory. Phil never said a word, never objected, complained nothing. Top bloke him.

By now, short-stacked Charles had conjured up a beautiful series of hands - one suspects “sleight of hands” would be a better description - to run his stack up to over 100,000, from a starting point of 11,400 - impressive stuff!

Chris was the next to go busto, (7th), the cards were cruel to him, and Matt was soon walking in 6th place.

John Howells went next (5th), and in 4th place, the spirited Carole eventually had to give best, but what a display by our good friend “pokohontas”, the alias being named, by the way, after her pet goldfish. “Have you fed pokohontas today?” has a certain ring to it, you must admit, and I doubt that too many goldfish rejoice in such a splendid moniker.

Three-handed, it was Ian who, having been down to a bowl of rice after an early accident, found himself with the Chip Lead, with early leader Aaron seemingly having run out of puff.

Charles, who had began the Final so spectacularly, increasing his stack 10-fold, eventually departed in 3rd - a fine player, and a total Gent.

Heads up it was Aaron and Ian, and Ian had the momentum, but a spectacular Call, which left onlookers gasping, saw Ian take the runner-up berth, and the £1,050 that goes with it.

And so victory went to young Aaron Hopkins. Aaron is the husband of Sky Poker Hotshot “sharksbite”, aka Naomi, who ran 2nd in the first of the Viva Las Vegas Finals this year for £9,000. Aaron and Naomi run a fish-farm (they grow fish!) in the West Country, and are a truly lovely couple. Aaron collected £1,800, a lovely Trophy, a Grand Final Seat valued at £220, plus the all-important bragging rights.

After the photos, interviews and celebrations were dispensed with; it was champagne time, thanks to Aaron - what a top bloke he is!

So that was that, after 16 hours, at 2am and work was done and dusted for the day. And did we do the sensible thing, and go to bed? I think not - it was time for a few Staff SNG’s. Michelle, Rich, Compo, Tony, and Sarah all had a few games, and it was 4am before we retired. Well, no point going to bed too early, is there? - we did not have to get up until 9am on Sunday……

So, roll on the Grand Final! The details of which are here….

http://www.skypoker.com/uk-tour-final/

You really MUST try and qualify for this - it will be “a bit special”. Trust me, it will.

That’s me done for now. I just have to say a big “thank you” to all the players, and indeed all the Staff, for what was, really, the most perfect of days.

Sky Poker. Serious about having fun.”
