I can't quite imagine what your average late night sky sports viewer will think about Max Pescatori and Matt Gianetti playing a complicated hand of Limit Stud 8 or better.

But gl anyways.

They're not is the short answer. PLH PLO or NLH is the format

Missed it, is it repeated?

Cliffs.

Luke was hyper.

Jesse was in one of his high-pitched shouty moods.

You were quiet.

Q-Q v 4-4 was a setback.

You then grinded.

You won.

You were gracious in your victory speech.

each episode will be up on www.partypoker.com/blog

I will find out when they plan to put them up, should be soon though.

I just caught up with this on Sky Plus, well done James. I have a question Flushy, did anyone get drug tested after the heat?

Ha Luke was very drunk due to a delay in play, i remember it being rather amusing at the time....

Luke Schwartz joins Jesse May in the Commentary box

Would love to see this, have been checking youtube too but nothing as yet.

you can watch them on www.partypoker.tv

Thanks, very entertaining, excellent commentary too.
Some interesting thoughts from Tilly, about how poker sucks you in like a centrifugal centripetal force and how it can make you have multiple personalities like schizophrenia dissociative identity disorder. She talks about leaving the felt and moving back to acting but it would be a sad day for poker if we were to lose her great talents.

I'd really like to know Flushys thoughts on the 910 hand. Obv level above me and would be cool to hear.

and the AQ hand maybe as well for me, if you have any reflections on it.

Haven't seen it yet and can't remember a 9T hand....quick cliffs?

Not seen it either. Assume clicking buttons :)

You have 9T one heart, beardy italian has black K, 7 heart, you're in position, you button pfr I think.

Flop Kx9 two heart. He check you bet he calls. Turn brick of hearts. He checks, you bet modestly, he folds, Jesse wtf-laughs.

You did look kinda strong, the way you made your turn bet. Struck fear into me.

Luke's limp from small blind with J7 off playing like 12 bigs must be horrendous surely?  I'm shit at poker but it felt really, really bad when I watched it.

beardo c/r with his king shit kicker which is probs bad. He's not supposed to have a king here and kinda turning his hand into a bluff, FLushy know this and chance his 2nd pr is good or he can take pot on later streets. Once beardo c/r gets called he dont know where the fk he is oop and elects to c/f. wp Max lol. In short, beardo sucks

Thats what it looked like to me

Tonight sees the conclusion of Group B Heat 1 of the PartyPoker Mixed Game Championship. 

All six players are still in.

catch the action on Sky Sports HD 3 from 11pm. 

Luke Schwartz brings his insightful commentary along with Jesse May.

WTF was Frankenburger doing with A7hh?

I thought Scwartz was  awful to watch in his heat but his comm in this heat was abs brill imo.

that A7 hand I was convinced he'd misread til he victory slams it after his brave call on the river. Luke's commentary was comical, Jesse says Frankenburger must be good coz he's finalled three WPTs, Luke says 'Darvin Moon won about 8million last year and he chops wood' lol.

If I have to watch Feldman looking to the skies and looking like a kid who's had his dinner money nicked while contemplating a simple fold one more time in one of these I'm never watching again. How does he even get invited to play, such bad TV. Last year the Premier League had Hellmuth and Negreanu, now we're back to Feldman dwelling up and telling us how sick it is that A3o might not be the best hand after all. gtfo

Yes, he did get a bit irritating.

senconded

Yeh Feldman is beyond tilting. You can tell he's trying to up to the cameras too at showdown. Guy just runs real well

fyp

Tonight at 11pm on Sky Sports 2 sees Group A play thier second heat and the game is Pot Limit Omaha.

James Dempsey took down the 1st heat and picked up 16 points as he used his double up card. Jennifer Tilly, Tony G and Luke Schwartz have it all to do as Tony and Luke used their double cards and picked up 0, 2 and 4 points respectivley. Max Pescatori and Matt Giannetti have thier double up cards to use and will they use them tonight?

Mike Sexton joins Jesse May in the commentary box.
_________________

Feldman is having another go at Zimbler on Facebook today. Paul always comes across as a decent chap but Andrew obv has a genuine reason.

I like this show, it allows the dynamic of the table to come thru and isn't just about who has the best cards at a showdown. My one gripe would be that it could be argued there is a little too much dwelling/showboating shown and the first heat these guys played turned more into a ''Luke is a character' show than was necessary.

Obv, you need to show the dwells and banter to understand some of the later hands. The Sexton call with his flush last week was abs brill to see as the whole dilemma he had from start to finish was set up perfectly by what had been shown before, the rub downs he was giving out were great to watch too. He seemed to be trying to rile Feldman into giving something away, it was a fantastic TV hand on a lot of levels.

But, watching 60 seconds of Luke under the influence and being a bit of a cock is just a waste of that 60 seconds for me as all I wanted to do there was turn it off.

 

Sky Sports HD 2 tonight at 1045pm sees Group A heat 2 come to an end in the PartyPoker Mixed Game Championship.

Tony G, Luke Schwartz, Jennifer Tilly and Max Pescatori are the players left and will battle it out for first place.

Jesse May and Mike Sexton are in the commentary box

This programme is beyond tilting. Tilting players who can't play even tho mixed games is basically hold 'em and plo, tilting structure with stupid double points things that make half the resullts irrelevent and mean u have to sit with a calculator trying to work out who should call who and who should just fold and wait no matter what's happening in the current hand, tilting 'banter' at the tables....look forward to another reminder next week

You got the impression that Jennifer would  still not have known what to do if Luke had shown her his cards in one of the hands.  I have to say that I still enjoy watching the show for the entertainment value. Matchroom are doing something a little bit different and makes a  change from watching a series of hold em flips.

Is the latest episode on the website cutting off before the end of the program for anyone else? Episode 6...

Somehow Andrew Feldman commentates worse than he plays

Lol yep. Just when u thought it couldn't get any more tilting, u get this. Jesse normally plays the clown and makes daft comments for the co-commentator to correct and tell u the right way to play but in this he actually talks the most sense.

If u watched the latest Late Night Poker series, James Akenhead almost made it boring by telling u exactly what was gonna happen on every street just before it did. In this episode Feldman tells u exactly the opposite of what's gonna happen, from the second hand in, where Luke 3bets the sb then cks the flop, Jesse asks is he just done with the hand on that flop, Feldman assures him Luke's "definitely not done with the pot" just as Luke's cards slide in the muck (after saying Luke would bet the flop).

Different level thinking I guess, not in a good way...

only shows upto epi 7 (part 1) on partypoker.tv, where can i watch the rest?

Watched the conclusion of this tonight  ;gobsmacked;

Never ever have I seen such a ridiculous performance from a professional poker player. Just lost for words on Feldman begging, pleading, time wasting & crying. Am I heartless? Just wow.

I turned it on, saw Feldman standing up doing all that shit, then turned it straight off, very very tilting.

It's easy to Feldman bash, I try not to cos I've never met him and don't want to go off just rumours. But omg he doesn't make it easy on himself acting like a child in his first ever tournament or saying things like people don't like him because they are jealous of his success. Urrrghh.

When the ritz started poker tourneys my mate ( who's a member)asked me if I wanted to go with him ,as it's a casino I've never been to ,I said yes ,so off we went
My mate plays / used to play a lot of blackjack so we sat at a table with Paul zimbler ,who was as pleasant as anybody I've ever met ,great with us , the dealer and the waitress and other staff .top class bloke

Yeah he always does. I am not sure what went on entirely with Feldman ( tbh the law took Andrews side ) but having seen that performance tonight the guy was a joke. "I'm like marmite you either love me or hate me". No son tonight you never came across well at all

Never seen anything like it. What the hell was he doing praying/pleading on all those flops? How long has he played the game for?

And his little strop about not getting water was just plain childish- like how Frankenburger dismissed him out of hand about it.

And as for crying when he lost. I mean lol.

All in all a disgrace. I hope matchroom don't invite him back

Totally agree George.

Prolly upset when he lost as it meant he had to get up early to deliver papers again

lol he blocked me on fb i think, told him to 'grow up' when he posted about the final saying something like "was a tough beat, title meant everything to me" before referring to himself as 'the comeback kid' after saying he will be back.

Ha, looking forward to watching this latest episode, sounds like fun. Feldman has been super annoying all the way through, all the way to his commentary, when he didn't seem to be able to form a sentence, and showed how our of depth he was in this field when trying to predict action and talk through hands.

By the by, Flushy thought your commentary on the one I watched last week (maybe week before) was excellent, one of the best, perfect combo of colour/humour and knowledge

Watched by chance with a friend who isn't a player, but is keen to look and learn...........I didn't know what to say or which way to look ;scarymoment; ;dingdell;

lol@ his sober scotty rant about the water.

Whats with him sweating every board so hard though?  Maybe the worst Ive ever seen

Enjoyed show was very embarrassing when he was nearly crying as dealer doing flop . The split pot was brill you just knew it was coming
