The Betfair "live" video feed is amazing.
I fell asleep watching it.
Woke up at 7:30am and they were still going - Nick Geber (?) and Nik Persaud had been commentating for 17 hours straight (with breaks when the players took breaks).
They may be starting to suffer the consequences. They seem to be alternating between thinking this is really great heads-up or this may kill off live feeds of final tables for ever.
First thing that I heard was them discussing some guy who was so fat that they were worried that he might crush his girlfriend when they made the beast with two backs. They progressed to wondering how he managed to wipe his arse - or did he use a hosepipe? (Need serious technical input from DingDell on that one, I guess).
Later they were discussing the merits of receiving 72 virgins on ascending to heaven (not sure what faith that is but I may sign up). Their initial thoughts were that it was a good deal but then they realised that it was for eternity so perhaps not so great! "72 virgins? for eternity? that's a long time - that's like one every 10,000 years isn't it?" (I paraphrased them).

The Heads Up is now around the 6 hour mark - I should know this, but what's the record?

There's your answer on the live feed. It was between the late Chip Reese and Andy Bloch someone said 8 hours but 'tinternet argues it was 7 hrs 10 |

Juanda wins- all in with K6 against Alekhins A9 and Juanda flops trip 6's
Alekhin was short stacked though so wasn't too bad a push

I think Norman Chad should realise he is on live feed, when he kind of accuses the Russians of foul play, before the main interview LOL Dem Dam Russkies!

crypto £100/200 its got to the point hardly anyone will play him
Yeh he's an absolute sicko, someone on blonde posted ages ago that Gulkines was Sonnert but he's been playing online the last few days since Sonnert has been in the WSOPE so its gotta be someone else. for no reason at all im really curious to know who he is greekstein, Gulkines - steffan matson, swedish |
