Well played to all the finalists particularly George, Stato and the Fish.
I didn't read the updates as they happened because to be honest I find it painful with all the delay nonsense.
Just fecking report it and stop arsing about. It doesn't ruin the live feed one bit. The live feed isn't exciting in the slightest so knowing what's coming up won't stop people watching it.
People watch the live feed to see their friends not because they like the adrenaline rush of not knowing what's going to happen next in a game of cards.
Just let Tighty do his job or stop the updates at final time and let the poor sod go the fuck home.
As for the Rastafish I still can't believe some people think he's a bad player. Yes he's not as technically gifted as some of the online wizards and some of his plays are mathematically questionable. However he's an excellent reader of other players and in the live arena that smashes the crap out of knowing about pot odds, ICM, nash equilibrium, combinatronics, blah blah blah....
You can know all the game theory in the world but if the other guy can just look at you and figure out whether you've got nuts or air then I'm afraid you're fucked.
All of this, and especially the last line

Firstly wp to all finalist , Richard , commentary teams and all that r
involved in the deepstack.
There's a problem about the 25k when I read the post.
My suggestion is why not the DTD follows what Pokerstar did
when they put the 25k chips in play. They announced it loud and clear
on the mic about the usage of the chips. Also the TD announced
it again that anyone that have those chips to put on top if their STACK.
I think that make lots of sense!

Well played to all the finalist and all that put up £500 of their own money to play this...
A Massive shout out to My Man Rasta-Fish... Well done
I've known Rasta for a while now maybe longer then most people that only met him through Poker, I remember when he just started playing the game, his game has developed over time and he has mastered his own playing style. People may criticize his plays and dislike his demeanor at the table, but the facts speak for themselves, nearly $300k in less then two years of playing poker, now that's an achievement..

Really enjoyed doing the commentary and I hope people were able to tolerate my Mansfield slang for several hours without wanting to kill themselves.
Also would like to say a big congrats to the finalists, everyone played really well. The way Rastasfish played was a big shock to me and I believe he fully deserved the win.

One of the best, most exciting deepstacks I can remember in terms of the lineup. I thought the play at the final wasn't very exciting due to the short stacks, everyone always had <30bigs, mostly 10-20 so there was hardly any flops played, mostly just shoves, or 3b shoves which isn't that exciting for a live stream. Then again it went on till 5am as it was, so don't know what the solution is there.
Maybe like Rob said, more levels on day 1, 12pm start on day 2?
Awesome awesome comp though, sad to see such a big overlay, make sure you all come next month to support!
Once again, congrats to Rastafish and all the finalists.

My two cents:
Rastafish is a really nice bloke. Never really seen him be rude to anyone or anything, he just get excited when he wins. He's playing for a lot of money, fair enough get excited if thats ur bag. While some of his plays are perhaps not what people would consider standard, he's not even close to being a bad poker player. He's difficult to play against and doesn't play scared at all which is a big thing once u get towards the end, as Alex said to me last night he's got a pretty good way of potraying a really loose image, while actually always having it when he gets to showdown . Guess it's easier to do all that when u make the nuts most hands, but that's not his fault, couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.
Spoke to my mum today after last night. First thing she said was "It would have been well boring to watch if Rastafish wasn't there" think that sums the situation up pretty well. He's a great character for the game, something a bit different. Fair play to him.
I think the structure was superb. Still maintain the type of players on the final table dictate what happens in terms of when things get wrapped up. Replace Mr Le, Newman, and Bosley with John Black, Mitch and Nick Hicks, it's probably wrapped up by 2am latest, replace George/Rastafish/Smith with Tikay/Jakally/Tom High and we'd probably still be there now. Not criticising any of those individuals, they're playing for a lot of money and they've made it there on merit, it's their right to play as tight as they damn well please. Play more levels on day 1 the only adjustment I would make, think Rob mentioned that anyway.
Also I think a lot of the play before the final table was pretty interesting. Far more play than in previous deepstacks. Why not stream one table for the whole of Day 2, even the whole tournament? Is it expensive to do? Updates would work well alongside that i think.
Didn't hear the commentary, but have heard Alex before so I know he's really good at it. I used to think Peejay was quite quiet, but nowadays he's an animal. Being sick in a Spanish Villa one minute then becoming a national celebrity by commentating on poker the next. What a boss. Mitch had to make do with a slightly inferior sidekick than usual but James staked everyone in the world that won any money yesterday so he wont care about me saying that. If its on youtube will deffo have a listen.
Tighty/Alex excellent updates. They give my mother something to do in her retirement and for that I thank you.
Quick shout out to the DTD football team who have a big match this week against "Barrymore's Swim Team" who are looking to make a big splash in the league this season.

Streaming one table for the whole comp would be cool.

You could have been compared to far worse than Mr Giblin.

Thomas High was on my table yesterday. Played well from what I saw. Not surprised to see him on the final.
He's a semireg in the DTD 1/2 cash games, fairly tight and reserved but has game. Really nice guy, would be great to see him come second. NO deals pls Simon!
I witnessed at least 2 turn shoves with air

+1. It's like when people called me a nit and in my defense I use to recount times I'd put the £20 straddle on...
