In Friday's £500 Freeze at the Luton Fessie, three players return on Saturday to finish off the 43 runner Tourney.

With 430,000 chips in play, Compo has about 240,000 I think, with Jim McBride & A N Other sharing the rest.

A N Other was not prepared to do business - at least, not until it was too late, & play had ended for the day - so they have to return on Saturday. Compo left the Casino at about 5am, has to be at work for At The Races at 0730am ("The Morning Line"?) & back at Luton by 2.30pm. He gonna be tired & tetchy on Telly, for sure.

It's, I think, £8,500 to the winner, £4500 to 2nd, can't recall third place.

I'd be very pleased to see either Jim McBride or Compo win it, or even chop it up, but I hope Jim understands if I send very special wishes to Compo to take down what will be his biggest ever Live Cash.

Thewy did the business on Sunday, Red copped $8,000 on Tuesday, Compo should cop for plenty on Saturday, now I just need Chili to win the DTD Sunday jobbie to complete a wonderful week for 4 top blokes, all of whom are very dear to me.

Get it won now Compo!

Compo has it dominated. I just hope he comes back with his mind on the game, because he mentioned he wouldn't get any sleep.

I think I understand why trap one didn't want to deal. He obviously felt it worthwhile to see J. McBride out. I don't disagree, I guess.

Having a job and finalling ;reallyamsorry; there are certainly worse dilemmas ;)

Compo FTW  :)up

Already in work!!! what a 'mare. Who thought I would last 'til day two? Thankfully I finish at 11.30....so might niclk an hours sleep.


I told A n other that he had cost me another £800 by not doing a deal...back today so how can I not play tonight?

shambles.

good luck good looking!
 ::)

Thanks handsome

Exatly the right word for this situation. I'm rolling about laughing.

In one corner we have Compo, who only had time to play this if he busted out early, and in the other we have Jim, who had no time to play at all.

When I grow up, I want to be like them.

Good luck guys.

Don't worry Compo..Not like you have to actually read the Racingpost to tip the horses you're always tipping ;)

Great stuff Compo!!!  Murphy's Law...when you don't have time is when you need it most.  At least it means a nice chunk of change and you can sleep later.  Good luck today and get it won!!!

Good luck Mr C

good luck kipper Compo.

spend any winnings on a new suit ffs ;)

Good luck compo!

Visualise yourself as a small bat, your opponents as multicoloured, destructable blocks and your stack as a  perpetually moving ball and you can't lose!

take it down Compofish

pob lwc Dave, bring it on :)up

The reason rod is an updater has become clear....

good luck compo  :)up

If anyone can do this without sleep Compo, it's you. Try to avoid betting into dry side pots with king high and I'm sure you'll be fine. Good to see a couple of Luton regulars (ish) fighting it out and hopefully the deal refuser will crash out third

gl Compo, take it down

I find the Sports room high backed chairs are perfect for a couple of hours kip- before the main event

All the very best of luck Compo  ;cheerleader;

yeah don't spend it backing your tips :)

All the best, take it down!

do the bizzo mate.

Best of luck to compo & jim mcbride.

Nice result whatever happens.

Good luck compo!

wish i had seen the morning line now

Get it won Compo

 ;goodluck;

Gl compo and Jim........take it down

Compo & Jim McBride Chopped it up!

That's a lovely result for them both, & for Luton, two really lovely blokes, top Gents both of them. (Except Compo).

Mr Other departed, & Compo, being the Gent he is, offered Jim an even split. Jim said, "OK, lets just do a chip count first". Jim had a 2-1 chip lead......but they still agreed to chop it up. Compo is whining now, 'cos Jim got the Trophy & Jacket.

He got home at 0610 this morning (Saturday), had a sh**, shave & shower, & was back on the road, to the office, at 0630.

He left "work" early, & kipped for 2 hours in the Luton-G Car Park. Then he went & finished off the Final, & now he's sat in the Super-Sat for tonight's Main Event. After that, whether he wins a Seat or not, he's playing Tonight's Main Event.

I always love old folks with bounding enthusiasm. But you should see the suit he was wearing - Kev was right.

Should we, do you think, make him an Inductee to the blonde Choppers Society? It'd certainly keep Chopper Flush company.

Chopper Compo - yes, it has a ring to it.

In the very first hand of this afternoon's Super Sat, Compo found himself in a 5 way pot with 6-2, & somehow, all the chips went in the middle.

The 2 fell, eveybody else missed everything, & Compo quadrupled up very first hand.

There really are similiarities between Compo & Flushy's poker style. And clothes-sense.

"I always love old folks with bounding enthusiasm"

PMSL :D

Well done Compo,

Da iawn Compo a Jim, chop chop ;applause; ;applause; 8)

sigh

well done to both guys, nice work.

Nice result guys  ;applause; ;applause;

WP compo.

 ;woohoo; ;first; ;woohoo;

Well done compo....great job!

Just a quickie to say thankyou to you alll for your support etc etc. 
 Firstly Jim is a gentleman of the first order.  He woke me up in the car park to make sure I wasn't late! A pleasure to play against and when we discussed the deal he was'nt bothered at alll about the chip counts! When they were tallied up after we agreed to chop i haven't been so embarrassed since TK ......(fill in your own puinch line!) Obviously I offered to redo the deal (best bluff I ran the whole Comp!) but Jim would have none of it (phew).  Third man was Kenny Wong. Well done to him too. Good player mentored, i think, by Neil Channing.

So after we finish I play the Super sat. I buted about 4.o'clock which allowed me plenty of time to go home for a good sleep. yea right. Couple of hours watching the footie then into the main event (well I was there already) Had the pleasure of matt tyler, micky Wernick on my opening table. Played very steady and tight for the first hand before going on a run that saw me buist out just as the second level started, having flopped two pairs  for three consecutive hands. I was so tired that I was only just able to drag myself over to sit in the DC game. It was an excellent idea on my part to debut in this delightful form of poker with Dave Courtney and Jim Mcshane on my right, hinge and bracket left and left plus three plus a couple of other usual suspects. As i expected it was a nice quiet game and during the course of the next 6 hours I ran my initial £ 300 up to just short of £1800 before reality returned and they saw me for the sucker I am. However £300 for that education, in my book, was money well invested.  JIm Mcshane is different class. The tutorial he gave me during the game was fantastic and I for one can't wait for him to go to Vegas so I can sit back in the DC without him playing.

So my weekend was a tale of Two Macs, Medium fried brain, and a large coke (well how else do you get through 48 hours with no sleep!)

Only joking but it made such good a punch line I couldn't resist.

Anyway I have had a good 3 hours sleep and off to work now.

Thanks again all.

nice one compo ;D

Well done Compo - really delighted for you x

Congrats Compo! Nice one!
