Good luck to them both later.

Roberto is another guy who deserves this. In a months time he will be back in Dtd playing and having the craic with his mates n brothers. Spot on fella. Gl

Looking forward to this tomorrow o.n the rail as we goin b watching footsie first so a lot of us could be little tipsy before the cards go up in the air!

Hope Craig wins the lot

watched Roberto last night on EPT, absolutely hilarious. really good too.

Don't know him at all really, only spoken to him a couple of times, but seems like a very decent bloke and a cracking player. Would love to see him add a bracelet to his collection.

Both are really down to earth nice guys and any  of them winning would be great but hu together would be special!

Shouldn't they all start with same stack Ina shoot out?

comon the Jack

Not all tables were full I presume

Would love to see Roberto finish off the triple crown and it would to be good for British poker

I hope he ain't in your fantasy team tho :)

I'm gonna have to antirail myself in the fantasy league with Bakes  and hope Roberto gets thereeeeeeee!!

Will this be covered by a live stream? If so link please.

Judging by the size of the stacks I'm going to guess at no.

Anyone see this on the live stream?

I have been watching the live stream and the final table is the side event to the real competition....who can be loudest.....Brits v Brazil! Roberto just doubled up with AQ v 22. Queen on the flop and the rail went mad!

thats one noisey rail good luck to the brits

Yeah Craig short but hanging in. Never knew you could watch it on an iPhone. Gg my sleep

Security guards have officially entered the ESPN Main Stage and are making their way through the British rail. The rowdiest of the rail birds are now being removed from the stands. Amid numerous objections from the several Brits in attendance, the security officers are being firm in their stance that they must go.

The shouts, chants, and cheers from the British rail are not limited to simply the final table, but can be heard throughout the entire Amazon room. Recently we found a tweet about this from Justin Bonomo who is playing on the other side of the Amazon room.

JustinBonomo Justin Bonomo "The shoot out final table rail is so loud and obnoxious that it's very unpleasant playing in the Amazon room right now." June 21 2012

As the Brits were escorted out of the stage, all that remained in their wake is spilled beer and empty cups and bottles strewn about the stands.

Very well done to Craig McCorkell, personally don't know the lad but always good to see the Brits doing well in the series, hopefully this might open the floodgates for more British bracelets.

Congratulations very well played.

Well played Craig. A great morale boost.

Good to see Trigg on the back row with Tyrion Lannister

Great stuff. Very well done Craig  : )

Well done nice to see us get off the mark for the series

its a shame there isnt such a place called hell because id love to see justin bonomo burn in it

Funk threads are back on track!

WP that man! Wp Brit rail!

Congrats Craig.

Yeah grassed you guys up. When you are ready a funk for Trigg will be nice

god we had this last year, I just don't understand people's problems - it's a fucking game, they build a stage for people to rail and say they want it to be like a sporting event, so they employ old women to sit there for "atmosphere" and when a final table turns up where it ACTUALLY IS LIKE a sporting event they throw everyone out?!

What's the point ffs, if they want poker to be boring then leave it as it is with everyone wearing sunglases and headphones and no-one speaking and dont bother trying to change it.

The comments about alcohol is stupid as well, people drink all the time grow up.

As for bonomo just get a grip man, you're playing some stupid 1500 thing you prolly need to win 35x to get out of MakeUp anyways what the hell is wrong with a bit of noise? Should go open up some more accounts and try win your millions back from isildur imo

Was it Bramm the other Brit to get thrown out? Why in particular them two?

yh lol me and ash also, we werent really doing anything that OOL, grafton targeted for being the noisiest, bramm thrown out for arguing too much about grafton, ,I lost a 7 way shoe-bomb flip (sighs) + was too drunk to function (I dont think me getting thrown out was that bad of a thing tbh lol although last year boz stayed the whole middy FT and he was drinking neat vodka from a fanta bottle and ACTUALLY couldnt walk, as in he physically was too drunk to walk :D ) I wasnt there when Ash got booted but it might have had something to do with a shoe-bomb lol

the pokernews photographers were inducing the shoe-bombs btw

Im not a fan pof shoe-bombs, kinda gross, pretty hilarious though

FFs i told him not to have fun in Vegas !   :redcard:

Take their money and make a big noise doing it? That's what we are supposed to do!
Brings a tear to my eye. So proud to be British!

Was Lord Flashheart from Black adder there too?!
