The organisers have kindly given us the code to run the live feed and commentary from the event throughout, and I'll update chip counts/overnights etc as we go


I don't supppose we have any blondes playing do we?

In.

Got a ridiculously cheap seat :D

Any reason they're not at DTD again?

probably because all the big comps this month are in London - EPT, WSOPE, WPT etc etc so they are using London as a base.

Are you expecting it to fill at 300 Keith? Not that you care especially I don't suppose......

Hope not!

I tguess there will be a small overlay, but the value scounts sniff out overlays pretty quickly.

Makes sense :) Seems a shame for DTD. It's been the biggest comp they've hosted thus far hasn't it?

biggest buy-in AFAIK

Numbers wise it was the UKIPT.

Buy in wise, yes.

There should be a sweep on who got the cheapest seat. I like my chances :D

Oh yeah, forgot about that. And I played in it lol

Am I the only one to find it odd that a competition played in England and called the "English Poker Open" has it's prize pool denominated not in USD?

I bought Flushys for him for $2500

As of now 190 of 300 seats left, $450,000 overlay....

shhhhhhhhhh don't tell everyone.

Feed live on the Original post of this thread from 4pm

in, but tilted i didnt get a ridiculously cheap seat :(

How awful for you. I mean it's not like you've won anything big enough recently that you could build a bed out of wads of cash to comfort you.

fwiw jake has a very expensive crack habbit

wowwww.

Bad news for the organisers, great news for the players. Gutted I'm not there yet.

gl gl everyone

The Camel is going on the first feature table...

It's very open and spacious in the tournament area

It's boring. No atmosphere. No one drinking

And the have met the guarantee easily

You eaten Dave?

No Umu is 3 min walk away, Nobu 1 min. Email me it wifi but no phone signal

Guy raises 3x at 50-100 cutoff flats I flat button bb flats. We have 44. Flop Q64 bb leads 1100 I call. Turn 2 he bets 2500 I call. River K he bets 5000 I call, he has 66. FML

Fold flop

Going on the live feed table, ha.


Not joking tank called river was so close to folding.

Do i need a plug in for the live feed?

looks like it, but didn't need one to look at the page yesterday

I can't seem to make it play in the forum but looked at the HTML source for the video location. If you download http://tx.sharp-stream.com/video.php?m=soproductions (http://tx.sharp-stream.com/video.php?m=soproductions) and open the destination file in media player you should get the stream.

Paul.

Note: It's quite annoying though. Keeps cutting in and out!

i had to  down load a plug in player from windows mine is working ok good to watch it all whos that old bird with her hair up?looks like somebody who was on 5/10 in bellagio

is that right that it re starts at 7,30

yes its dinner break m8 same thing happened at dtd last year

ok thanks

shame theres no sound

sorry i didnt have volume up dooooohhhhhhh

ddddddddooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

Yes I'm playing !!  Got thru' day 1...............  Have No idea how many left or ave stack etc.

meh nothing on their website for overnight chip counts, how many left, prize pool etc


If you are going to do something, do it right....rather than not publishing anything fimo

Yep I agree. Seems very strange that for a 3.5k event that they don't update their web site with the info !!

I'm through with a small stack of 14300

Would dearly love to know the other chip counts

Considering they did not lay on any dinner for the £250 reg would have at least expected them to have the commonsense to put up chip counts somewhere

Not too impressed by the whole set up to be honest

Should have kept it at DTD imo

Funny enough i think should have moved it to London, where do you live?

Makes no diff to me flushy wouldn't have played it but i think it was much better run and turned out when it was held at dtd last year.

Did you play it this year? For a big poker tournament london is clearly better than nottingham. Much easier to get to and hotels are better. Also I thought the tournament was run well yesterday. Didn't have a bad dealer all day. Only issue is there is no free dinner, but the drinks are free and I don't think this was the case at DTD. Also the welcome party was better this year.

sigh. Getting beat up by the champion of Ireland and Vegas

I'm trying to watch this online but the feed is awful - keeps freezing etc is anyone else having the same problems? played day 1a  - through with healthy stack - curently about 9th - please fix this feed someone

And no. I didnt play. I'm basing my opinion on:

The lack of coverage
The review of palm beach as a whole
The way the tourney and coverage last year at DTD

Obv makes sense to move it to London given the schedule and u guys as players will have a better indication on how it's being run but for us as observers the lack of info re the tourney is nothing short of shocking

Really? Mine was free mate

Why the fk would anyone in such a big BI event give a shit if they were getting a free dinner or not? (http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/basic/smileyvault-blink.gif)

From a personal point of view i am always going to want to play a tournament at the palm beach over DTD. In this case i busted early and went for a wander around town, as opposed to wandering around a Nottingham industrial estate, i then came back to the casino for the dinner break and walked across the road to nobu instead of across the park to nandos. Not to mention its a 90 minute drive.

Was he tight? Would raising river for value be a consideration, or does deuce make this spewy.

What was Nobu like.?How did you get in?Can you take me there?

I love you swirly

DTD's problems summed up in a paragraph.

I found it expensive and didn't really enjoy it much. The other 7 people with me all seemed pretty pleased with it tho.

lol

Definitely better off with DTD/Nando's if you're flipping badly.

I dont get it with all the DTD fanboys I've never had a good experience there yet, I find the atmosphere bland, the staff lack social skills and Nandos is tez

 ;gobsmacked;

I'm a recently converted Nando's fan but that one opposite dtd is a shithole full of f pikeys

Says Mr. Happy himself.   rotflmfao  Agree with ya about Nado's though.  It's pure rubbish.

Never mind Bri, one day you will cash big there ......... keep trying  ;whistle;

...except for dik9 of course as he has tekkers  ;D

Anyone know when the live feed starts?

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Nobu

also, if this helps I just dropped into the palm beach on my way back from lunch and these are the chip counts i know

Matthew Frankland (leeds based "Matfrankland" online) is the chiploaded with 99,000
Jake Cody (EPT/WPT winnnnaaaaaar) has ~30k
Fabian Quoss has about 60k
James Mitchell champion of the green isle has 55kish (I think.)
Phil Laak ~25k
Liv Boree ~19k
Some ridic fir american bird who people will know has 25k
John Eames hasnt got any chips
I think Ben Vinson has +60k~
Also Channing is still in and has about average I think but not really sure

93 left
31,300 average

Hope that is somehow helpfull
