Sky Poker TV will be uploading 4 or 5 Videos per day from Las Vegas. They don't contain spam.

These include....

Daily WSOP Updates.

Neil Channing's Video Diary

The Daily Moan (tongue in cheek).

Interviews with the good, the great, & the not so great.

Interviews with the Sky Poker qualifiers.

We have already interviewed.....

Chris Moorman

Simon Trumper

Simon Deadman

Fraser Bellamy

These Videos will be released daily, 2 or 3 per day.

I'll post links to them as & when they get uploaded.

It's not Level 3 stuff, it's just "vicarious Vegas" for those who have never, & maybe will never, do the WSOP & Vegas.

Here's the introduction.....

WSOP 2015 - Day 33 Update


http://bit.ly/1LyzCWg

Very professional.

One take?

Cue cards?

Where can I get one of those T shirts with the convex front panel?

Not sure if I'm being whooshed here, but......

One take, yes.

Cue cards, no, all ad-lib, hence the little verbal stumbles. The Producer just says "this is what I want" & then I just make it up.

For a belly like that, you need to eat Burger & Chips + 2 Choc Ices & 5 Starby's every day for a month. And I have.

For the Daily Update, I had made some notes on my ippy as prompts.

Just "PLO", "Tax", "Colman" "Ryan", that sort of thing.

Nope, no whooshing. I thought you did a good job, enthusiastic and informative. You reminded me of Patrick Moor, who, come to think of it, was also a sky presenter.

Ahh, thank you Tom.

For "enthusiastic", the the jargon is "high energy", hence I have to do that shouty thing sometimes. They like high energy, or shouty. Odd really, as in real life I'm the complete opposite. I attended football matches for the best part of 30 years, & never cheered once, it is just not me. Patrick Moore "Sky Presenter", ooh, very good. I've got a pair of those trousers he used to wear, too.

I've always considered myself to me a quiet type but of late, during conversations, especially with groups, I keep catching myself speaking very loudly.

If I'm telling a story I not only raise my voice, but I've started to act out the parts of the people involved in the tale. So if, for instance I'm describing a fight, I will throw a punch then fling my head sideways and stagger backwards. Sort of acting and reacting.

I also shift position when describing conversations, He said..  (I face left) and then she said.... (I face right).

It's getting worse too. I'm at the stage now where if someone else is talking, I sort of hurl myself in front of them and pick up where they were forced to leave off.

It's as if I can't wait to hear what I'm going to say next.

The worrying thing is, I don't know if this behavior began recently or if I've always done it and only just noticed.

Enthusiasm can rarely be a bad thing Tom, especially in someone of your considerable years.

Just done a wonderful interview with Jason Somerville. He totally shocked me, it never occurred to me he could be so smiley & enthusiastic. His 78 day Twitchathon got a staggering number of unique views. Now there is someone who is doing something to help online poker grow.

With players like Little Danny & Jason Somerville, we'll be alright.


(http://pnimg.net/w/articles/1/540/f20104e821.jpg)

Here's the interview with Lord Twitch, Jason Somerville.

Jason is a rarity - a Pro who can prove he earns his sponsorship fee. Rare beast, that. Can't think of any others who can do that.

http://t.co/8c3Zg3GoEL

Here's Simon Trumper.

The Daily Moan.

Poker players should dress properly, right?

http://bit.ly/1GXbgCr

Superb stuff, chaps.

They've recently started charging a full resort fee at the Nugget, and you'd think the world was coming to an end, as far as the Americans are concerned.

That's it, I'm done with Vegas!

I use the internet anyway, so it doesn't actually cost me anything, and I just factor it in to the costs.

Agree about the £5 bottles of water though :D

WSOP 2015 Daily Update, Day 34


http://bit.ly/1GKXPlU

They are good videos tony you should get a job doing em  ;D

I enjoy watching them thanks

tikay caught up with Simon Deadman

http://sky.me/1dwLaM3

i believe simon cashed for the 5th time in this year's WSOP last night

Really enjoyed watching these, especially the interview ones where it always seems like there's a good rapport.

Gives a good flavour of being at the series too.

Smiley poker player mentions Wisbech and no mention of 'Fens' in reply?

Handsome Paul is back here, he came across with Mark Wallis (famous Greyhound Bloke), will try & get an interview with them both today.

Any reason for Simon living in Wisbech?  Seems rather random unless his missus is from there or works there?

Simon's missus is from Houston Tx.

Camera will love Handsome Paul. Ask him how he managed to dodge going bust with that backdoor flush three handed. Still can't believe he didn't.

Also, ask Mark how the champion trainer greyhound night thingy went, he'll like that.

He wasn't a <1.01 shot only to get runner-runner-runnered in the last few races or anything, so should be fine.

That would be a great question to ask him!!!! What price was Hutton with three races to go to drill you for the champion trainer title? Please ask him that teeks!

Thanks Mr H, praise indeed from one so aged & venerable.

rapport though.

WSOP Day 35 Round Up.

And the best player in Chad is......?


http://bit.ly/1T7BS9j

These really are very good.

Tikay, when your excitement escalates at the end of the piece each time, given your prominent dress sense, I'm reminded of a TV great.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXAK-2TQ_bA

You should do some of these pieces in more public environments and get some punters on their mobiles behind.

"Top of the head, the favourite. Get on!"

Damned with faint praise.......

Think that makes Neil Channing Tanya Stevenson...

I think these are great too.
Nice balance between good info and informal banter.
Too far either way can be painful to watch, but these are pitched just right.

Really enjoying these. You look so well too.

WalMart, $6.99. Value, or what? "George" label, too.

Tim Rowlands

This man won a Freeroll to go to Vegas with Sky Poker, £1,000 for his flight, 5 nights at Palazzo Hotel, & entry into Little One Drop. For free. Currently, with 150 of 4,555 remaining, he is also over $3,500 better off, too, with the chance to turn that into 6 figures. MBN.


http://bit.ly/1JzA8B4

It's not natural for me to be nice to you Teeeks, but your interviews are really very good. Love the stuff you do with Channing too.
Look forward to more of the same.

The Daily Moan # 4

http://bit.ly/1H4VTIa

I'm getting old, I enjoy the daily moans.

Loving these, wp Teak and Beat.

For the record, nirvana turned up to the WSOP one year wearing flip flaps.

Day 37 Daily Update. No flap flips today


http://bit.ly/1RWFt7B

I so wanna see someone mooning in the background as they are talking for some bizarre reason

It's the McCririck thing, isn't it? I'm completely with you.

Maybe James Woods reading a newspaper or two blokes in grey squirrel costumes beating up a bloke in a red squirrel costume (à la trigger happy tv). Or maybe an Abraham Lincoln impersonator talking to an Elvis impersonator.

Anything, basically. If they don't do it now, with so many possibilities, it just smacks of laziness.

Neil Channing's WSOP Diary, Day 5

Steve Watts Interview.

WARNING - contains mentions of Barry Hearn & X Factor stuff


http://bit.ly/1GWe4MT

Scotty Nguyen - "love you baby"



http://bit.ly/1NFhFoa

Would YOU name your hotel after yourself? Trump? Wynn?

http://bit.ly/1CgIU7B

That chick behind who stops by in the truck performs magic. Unless she crawls back under it. ....Rsomme.

Have watched that half a dozen times, and I still can't see how she did that. The tape was not edited at that point, either, or not that I can see.

Magic.

This confuses me, what has she done?

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w6gNiROWwE

If you watch very carefully - it might take a couple of watches - you might notice tikay spotting a passing distraction. It's a split second at most and tikay is the consummate professional broadcaster, so you'll be hard-pressed to see it.

I must have wound it back a dozen times now.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BvaIYr2XSmU/VUxSgmgVUGI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/1kvLHYrbcbg/s1600/3.gif)

Actual tears.

This is precisely what I wanted. Please keep that up. Love it.

After what uncle Norman did I don't think Bates Hotel would prove popular

Barny Boatman Interview


http://bit.ly/1ewQ1O0

Watch very carefully at about 1:30, just a as tikay finishes his moan and Neil takes over.

Hard-core daily moan fans will enjoy seeing an impromptu appearance of a pet hate in the background.

The WSOP Update, Day 40


 http://bit.ly/1gk7zOB

Gerald Ringe, a Vic regular, interviewed after winning the 4th Brit Bracelet of WSOP 2015.

Lovely to see a player who clearly cares about his appearance & how he dresses.


http://bit.ly/1IFPm93

His brother used to be a Luton reg. met Gerald a couple of times. Both not really like you average Luton punter. Was very impressed with his interview.

(And the others of course) Enjoying them a lot.

I watched the stream, and thought to myself 'Tikay is going to be double happy if he wins this. British, and snazzy with the threads'

:D


I recognised him, but obviously haven't played much over here for years, so thought he might just have one of those faces.

Good stuff, well done him.

Has he been a reg at the Vic for a long time?

Yikes! Tony Ringe's bro. Tony still pops up at Luton from time to time.

The Annette Obrestad Interview


http://bit.ly/1G64shT

He looks like Vegas has got him!

Shane Warne answers my searching, probing Test cricket questions.


http://bit.ly/1JNgSTG

Not wrong, think he has played 7 or 8 Tourneys, & has only been above starting stack for exactly ONE hand during that entire time.

Poker working it's wonders as only poker can. 

WSOP Update, Day 41


http://bit.ly/1UyhL5M

Loved these. Wasn't sure after the first installment, but grown on me a lot.

Just watched the Jennifer Tilly interview, thought it was great, she makes such a good interviewee, i can imagine she is fun to have at the poker table. Im gonna add her to the list of  "Who i would invite to a dinner party".

Annette looking fit.

It must have taken you a long time to record all these, it's taken me a long time to watch them.

Yeah this, had great plans for this morning.  Enjoyed the videos, good work Neil and Tikay.

Even longer when you factor in the number of takes and the amount of editing the poor Sky bloke has to do afterwards.

Oi, I'm One Take tikay, please.

Interview with Jason Mercier


http://bit.ly/1L0K20r

Wonderful to get so much of the area on video, chaps. Sterling stuff.

Would it be possible to show a sports book? I only ask because I found the first time I saw one quite amazing. The fiftieth less so, granted, but the sheer size of one - like so much of Vegas - is something to behold.

Feel free to incorporate chariots and stall 1A into the daily moan.

Who's the guy with grey hair just to the right of the head phone wearing guy at 1 min 33-1 min36 ??

Phil Laak interview


http://bit.ly/1KVqs7e

Kevin Mathers, aka "kevmath" interviewed.

Please note he was standing on a box.


http://bit.ly/1GcIEkU

"For some reason, everyone at that time was a millionaire..."

Brilliant line!

Mr Channing struggling to get a word in - awesome.

John Tabatabai said that he is as mental in real life, as he comes across in the poker shows :D

Now that's entertainment.

Goodness me I have a headache from that. It is hard to tell if Neil is laughing or crying at one point.

Day off?? :)

This is a great piece. Kendall is the perfect foil for the smooth knowledgeable Channing.

I didn't know The Strip was actually called Las Vegas Bouvelard.

S Las Vegas Boulevard, to be precise.

Not if you listen to Neil say it about 12 seconds in.

He wasn't being precise.

He said the right letters, not necessarily in the right order :)

True dat.

It's like the irresistible force interviewing the immoveable object.
