Poker Week Shocker - they Interview Kinboshi

Compo - "so Daniel, here we are, half way through Day Two, how is it going?"

"Great" says our English Amateur Champion Hero, "I busted out yesterday".

Worth a look for that alone.

All top 6 Finishers in the APAT European Amateur Championship were interviewed, plus the Irish, English & UK champions, being Jacques Kieft, Kinboshi & Lee "jandjellis" Mulligan. Oh, & a splendid interview with Tighty.

There's also a cracking interview with Big Tikay - Thomas Kremser - in which "moving the shortstack" gets put to bed good & proper, & a mini-chat with John Duthie.

I musta been a bit crusty & tetchy after a long weekend, as I got a bit heated when chatting with Compo in the wrap-up about this balancing tables lark, & may have been a tad less diplomatic (= ruder) than intended. Ah well, too late now.

And Poker Week must have got themselves better lighting for the cameras, as I looked about 80, face lined & weary, methinks I need make-up for these gigs now.

The show airs on....

And watch Compo's chips disappear, he's sooooo easy to steal from.
