[tikay]

The Final of the £750 2 day Main Event tales place here at Sheffield this afternoon, & I'm here wearing my 425 Hat, the cameraman arrives shortly.

Here's how things stand - apologies for the "abbreviated" names.

Big Dave Smith (from Notts Gala) 46,000

Mark Burton 13,300

Woodman 69,300

Tom "Red-Dog" McCready 21,700

Marsh 61,300

Aujla Raghubinder (young "Rugster" from Laddies) 56,500

Kaz Siraj 71,200

Max Hussain 32,100

Kaz Kurbi 42,000

Fazzzz 27,800.

It's a 1 hour clock, & blinds will be 800-1,600.

Will try & let you know how Tom gets on. My phone battery has died, so I can't do text updates.

Good Luck to all the blondes.

from mr digitals post i would imagine he is marsh 3rd in chips with 61k


good luck to all espically the blondites

And yes, I did play the Event, but exited when I clashed big-time with fellow-blonde Rustert, who's a good mate.

He & I play the Laddies $250 most days, he's a fierce competitor.

At Walsall in a recent £300 Freeze, I busted to him on the very first hand of Day Two when I ran my QQ into Rug's Aces.

Last night, & I got cute with KK after Rug Raised it up. The flop was - almost inevitably, when one has Kings, A-Q-x. But for some reason, I could not bring myself to believe Rug had an A, the betting definitely said otherwise.

I backed my judgement, & all the chips went in, & I was right, he never had an A. He had QQ, for a set of Queens.....

I'll get him one day, I swear I will.

Good Luck to him today though.

[Ironside]

you fish

[tikay]

Yes, Mr Digital is yet another blonde Finalist. I met him for the first time last night, a quite splendid & jolly nice fella, introduced him to Tom, too.

Good Luck to him, as well!

44 runners, £33,000 in the kitty.

[Ironside]

how many get paid?

[tikay]

10 get paid Iron.



£11,500

£5,800

£3,800

£3,000

£2,300

£2,000

£1,600

£1,300

£1,000

£700

There were only 44 runners, so there can be no complaints that 10th does not get him money back. I'd settle for it!

[Ironside]

i am surprised they are paying that many

[tikay]

Iron, Tom is sat next to me, & he said shut it, you fish.

[ifm]

Oh yeah i didn't notice he had put his chipcount in the post, doh!!
Ask Tom if he thinks the payout structure is a bit top heavy

I think Tom is delighted with the Payout Structure!

He just found AA first hand, in the SB, but got no action.

Several guys, Tom & myself included, are tempted to try & dash down to the Western for tonight's biggie, buut it looks doubtful, especially for me, as I need to be here until the end.

I am off to Hillsborogh Stadium in a bit to do the 425 "Link", memories of 40 years ago (almost to the week) & all that. Intriguingly, the Chairman of Sheffield Wednesday is one Dave Allen, whom, I believe, is the owner of this very Casino, and indeed the Napoleon's chain.

Pass on my best wishes Dog red TK!

Going back to my exit with KK against Rugster's QQ, I also had an earlier rather nasty accident involving Queens.

I hadd Raised it up with JJ, & Malcolm "The Rock" Harwood called me, the flop came Q-9-9. Malcolm had pocket Queens, unbenown to me, & quite liked that flop!

I thought the turn card was pretty handy mind, when the J fell.........

Chips! (It was a Double Chance).

[ifm]

Yeah i saw that hand "elsewhere".
