high hopes and hectic days
It's been quite a busy week for me this past week, with Bolton Poker Extravaganza last weekend, it looked like a promising turn around for Dave who made it into day two. I thought at long last he would be making an appearance on Poker 425, but it was not to be. He busted out shortly after I arrived. 
But another blonde made it to the final table, Mr Tikay Kendall. Go the blondes! 
Watch out for Poker 425 this week and see how many times you can spot tikay in the report from Bolton.
The rest of the week is pretty hectic for me, with a flight out to Dublin tomorrow morning to cover the 3rd William Hill Grand Prix Qualifier which will most likely go on untill well after sunrise, then I'll be home for a quick shower before I head out for the Blonde Bash. Think I may need alot of Caffeen over the next few days! And not a word about the dark circles under my eyes.
blonde bash 3
I have retired early from the Bash today feeling pretty done in from the week’s events. However, Saturday evening was a most enjoyable evening indeed. I was very pleased to see how much the community had grown. After busting out of the comp about half way along, I played my first heads up match against the 'inthebelly' team for the 'girlie' team. The match lasted one hand with my opponent moving all in with Kings and I called with A9, I hit an Ace! Unfortunately the Girlie team's success was short lived when I lost my match with Robert HM, who has a very intense stare by the way, and London Poker Girl was unable to take the team further when Phil Quaye from William Hill got lucky with the notorious river card. 
Don't forget to set your video recorder to tape highlights of the Bash so they may be treasured forever, this Wednesday on Poker 425, sky Channel 854 at 11pm. and just in case you do forget even after me reminding you, it's repeated every night at the same time and same place for a whole week.
And I will be posting some sneaky snaps in the blonde gallery very soon...
sun, sea and poker
Last Friday I was setting off from Birmingham with Bikini in my bag for the sunny seaside beach located conveniently right in front of the Casino de Barcelona. On arrival at the Casino I was pleased to see many of the top European pros and of course the famous Phil Ivey from the good old US of A. Marc 'Mr Cool' Goodwin was as ever full of impressive golf stories. It would seem Phil only managed to recoup his losses on the outragous golfing stakes by clearing 3rd place in EPT! Gus Hansen caught me snapping him at the table and decided he would introduce himself to me. 
And thank goodness some good-looking talent has begun to arrive on the poker scene. I don't think a single person in the room failed to notice the hot talented blonde placing her stakes in the game. (Check out the blondepoker gallery for the pics)
On Saturday morning after sampling some of the fine local cuisine and wine the night before, I set out to the pool in my bikini all ready to do my bit for the poker 425 show, but unfortunately it started to rain and we had to call it all off.
It was a delightful final table with Dave Gregory fighting it out for the UK, Phil Ivey replenishing his deep pockets and Bjorn Glenne smiling all the way to the finishing line.
