It's rising currently.

Very much so.

Can someone with pokernews connections make sure he gets interviewed pls.

Good luck to Zimnan.

He used to share a flat in Bournemouth with young Marius, who won the SPT Grand Final (or 6-Max, I forget which) last year. Marius now works in a Hotel, & Zimmy travels the world playing poker. Such is life.

He won an EPT late last year for a third of a mill, & had a decent WSOP, with 5 cashes, including a Final Table in the $5,000 Stud Hi-Lo of all things. He's a really decent chap, too.

Also, when they were both starting out, he used to play in the same university games with a called Rupert, iirc.

This gif has made my week:

Afraid Foxy went out in the high twenties, A9<JJ

Pete got gg-ed just before the money with AK<JJ. Foxy in the money with 145k at 3k/6k, just got a nice treble with AQ>QT>A6 on a 7-5-8-6-Q board.

Just for anyone interested, Stuart Fox and Pete 'bulletpete' Haslem have both made day 3 of WPT Cyprus, 53 left and 36 get paid with $287k up top: http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/world-poker-tour-merit-cyprus-classic/main-event/

Absolutely over the moon that Brandon won, sounds cliche but he really is one of the nicest guys around, very friendly during the early days of the blonde updates and I'm sure Tikay and Jen would say the same.

call the 40k and fold if villain 1 shoves! We look so strong when we cold the 40k that villain 1 will / can fold some hands that beat us, so when he does shove, we can happily fold.

Deffo this.

Germany to win. Benzema top scorer is what I'm going for.

tbf Brent, Dany's story is so good in the first book that it takes a while to get going again after that. The Boltons are gonna get very interesting in season 3 imo.

Because they need to keep the narrative going and there are characters that don't appear in whole books they have to stretch out storylines so you don't forget about them. They've already said that from series 2, it's going to be less 'directly from the book' and more 'based on' so that they can move stuff around to fit a TV narrative.

fwiw, I could've watched a whole series of Arya and Tywin or Tyrion and Bronn, both pairs have amazing chemistry. Brienne and Jamie looks a promising pairing too.

yeah, def expect jon snow to have a major say in events later on

Well it's called A Story of Fire (Dany?) and Ice (Jon Snow?) so I reckon those two will either be knocking boots or knocking swords by the end of the series.

swedens team is abs shit.

just ibra/elmander/kallstrom

Shocking research. Just really really bad.

Not even a mention of Elm and Toivonen, 2 of the players of the year in the Dutch league.

Toivonen scored 18 goals in 33 games for PSV. Elm is the lynchpin of the AZ side and they turned down a 10m bid for him.

Think Sweden could go well if they get their teeth into it...

Was gonna say, of the Swedes I know, they've all said this is their best team in years.

The more I think about Ridley Scott's Promiscuous the more annoying it gets.

Wow, this was exactly what I thought when I came out of the cinema afterwards. It's not a surprise it's written by the creator of Lost is it?

You should all go watch The Raid.

Absolutely awesome.
