Is the jerkiness of the stream my bad PC or is anyone else having trouble?

Sound is back now. We are having some problems with the quality of the connection here but fingers crossed it should be Ok now.

Thanks, we are doing some more tweaking of the connection in the break. It's quite frustrating for us and I am sure it is for you watching.

Quality very very poor. You can hardly make the cards out when they are flipped on their backs and the sound is very intermittant.

Video quality is out of our hands unfortunately due to the connection in the casino. It is being filmed in broadcast quality but if we crank up the upload quality it gets far worse than what you are seeing :(

Sound should be better now. Certainly is on the mobile connection that I am viewing it on. Henry's mic was interfering with Phil's wireless one.

Goliath will be much better as the connection there is top notch (apparently).

i shall be attending coventry today,last mineute arrangement as one of my poker chums persuaded me to go as hes up for doing all the driving in his car if i could persuade him to turn one of the letters of his number plate upside down id have a limo with my own personilised number plate to arrive in ,persuading him to let me get on the back for the last mile and for him to wear a chaufers hat will be the tricky bit...
still much more desireable than mixing in with the luton hoy poloy that are being bussed in tommorrow ,with there kiss me quick hats

onley problem is my blondepoker patch got washed in the machine with my monogramed ball lifter and thruster thong and the dye ran so now its turned a nice shade of pink,stilli dont suppose any one will mind ,might even help to ballance the table in my favour...

so looking forward to a dam good outing and game of poker  like a suck on a beautiful buxom wenches left one whilest she strokes the back of my neck with her free hand....and no luton hoy poloy this is not a job offer.

i do hope should i look up and find the big fella takeing my picture for this illustruse journal he dousent use his computerised air brush to make me look so wrinkley faced with grey hair and poor taste in jumpers ....and then slaps a little quip on it like ....suprise entrey...china mug,with all his friends...


good luck to every one ....until the last hand heads up with me ....

chompy what odds for me to win with the last hand being me holding king queen....

Is there likely to be a player list issued, or is it too large to be done?


Title: Re: GUKPT Goliath Live stream
Post by: snoopy1239 on August 24, 2011, 12:51:03 PM
Is the free reentry just for today's first elimination, or the first casualty tomorrow too?

Post by: luckyblind on August 24, 2011, 01:32:24 PM
Live stream is working ok on our machine that is monitoring it on a different connection to what we are streaming on.

Any feedback if any others having problems please let us know.

Image quality is a lot higher than Luton so it will need a better connection to work properly.

Dave Shoelace reports

The Grosvenor Goliath in Coventry has smashed the European attendance record before day 1C has even begun, and the number is still counting. The previous record was 1,564 from the Dusk Till Dawn Grand Prix III this year, and right now the Goliath is at the minimum going to hit 1640. That is the number currently registered, and a further 50 players have preregistered as alternates.

So it looks likely that something north of 1,700 is going to be the new European record. The event costs just £100 to register and starts with a 25,000 starting stack, so it really is one of the best value events in Europe. This writer was at the Goliath, at the Ricoh Arena, for days 1A & 1B and can vouch that it was an impeccably ran event, at a superb venue, with a great atmosphere.

All hands are on deck now as dealers are being drafted in from anywhere they can find them to cope with demand. We will bring you an updated final figure later on today, complete with final payouts

It was a very well organised event. I was disappointed that I couldn't rebuy after being eliminated from Day 1B, but it's great news to learn that the reason was because the event was so popular. Well done to everyone involved.


Title: Re: GUKPT Goliath Live stream
Post by: TightEnd on August 26, 2011, 11:08:41 PM

I ended up being drafted in to deal for the last day 1 lol. Wonderfully ran, great setting. Can't praise it enough. Thoroughly deserve the record. Good job guys!

Grosvenor added 28 seats to next year's Goliath worth over £3000 so that all players making day 2 go home with something.

Live stream tomorrow will be on a delay as we are showing the players hole cards.

Even though my exit was painful I would still say that without doubt this is the best tournament I've ever played in the UK.

Everything about it was 1st class and this is a must play event for next year.

From the GUKPT website

Deucastrous for Deadman

Lee and Simon all-in pre "only looked at the ACE" from Lee.  He's in for 5.8 mil.

Lee with A-Deuce and Simon A3 and with one card to come it's looking like a split until "no deuce from Lee!" .. it IS a DEUCE; Lee raises his arms in the air like a victorious Cantana.

Simon with plenty of chips left UNTIL he's in with Lee again holding pocket NINES but Lee has ACES!!

The ACES have it and Simon left with just over 2 mil and all-in next hand (Lee on 22 mil now btw).

Lee calls with K6 and Simon has Q5.

A FIVE on the flop but two overs and open ended for Lee.  The turn blanks (ACE) but a SIX on the river and SIMON is a DEADMAN.  He finishes 4th for £10,590

I don't know Simon but was watching this (almost) live and I have to give him tonnes of respect for the way he took the beats.

Texted him after saying WP, UL and willing to listen to his frustration, but he's v happy with how he played and didn't even complain once. Absolute class act

Thanks to all of you that watched the live stream all week. I hope that you were not too gutted about the disaster that struck at the end meaning the last 15 minutes of footage were unable to be streamed.

Overall it was a great event and everyone at Grosvenor & D4 worked their socks off to produce a fantastic event and all the players were great. Lee was a deserving winner in a massive field.

I should be elated after a great weekend with loads of positive feedback but have a sicky feeling in the back of my throat since trying to stream from a blank memory card. At the end of the day the buck stops with me and I will make sure it never happens again.

Don't beat yourself up mate - I have never seen such universal feedback for an event and sorry couldnt make it to support you and Brian - you should be elated....as it is I have seen dad (good) the busted Fox in hand 3 after late regging then done chunks on a Sunday grind.  Well done again mate.

Ul Simon, wp though nice score.

All the Gala Notts guys will know Lee Rawson aka Borstal face (Not me being mean, it was his actual nickname). He was a reg at Gala Notts for ages.

Nice guy, ran into some hard times. Hopefully he's back on his feet now and continues to do well.
