European Championships, 5k Main Event Live Update, DAY TWO

[tikay]

Hi all,

We start - oops, sorry - THEY start, at 3pm today. We will be there, suited & booted, & be with you the whole way.

Any messages for players, if you want to find out how a particular player is getting on, just ask.

We posted the Chip Counts at the end of Day One on the Day One thread, I will try & copy them onto here, as an easy point of reference for you.

A big thanks to the Staff at The Vic - they were just great yesterday, Brian especially. And Scott Cowan, he's the Casino Mansager. He's a New Zealander, or South Afrucan, summat like that. GREAT bloke.

Jen's a bit uncomfortable at The Vic, but she enjoyed yesterday too. She had to wear proper shoes - right frumpy they were too - instead of her usual jesus shoes. Not her style at all. And a big up to Robert HM, who ran around for Jen alll evening. One word from Jen & the blokes will do anything, she has that manner about her. Not me, mind. I just ignore her. Oops, gotta go, Jen wants me. Now. Right now. On the way, Dear.

[b4matt]

will you and or the team be at luton next week?

[tikay]

Yes Matt, we will. A Live pdate of the Saturday/Sunday Main Event is planned, subject to Grosvenor's approval. Maybe we will cover Wednesday's Heads Up Challenge (Luton v Notts, the Champions....), too.

I will play most days, I hope - I love playing Luton, & Jen may be playing one or two days as well.

We just need to see if Jen will cover the Luton Main Event for us, if she is available/willing etc. So BE NICE TO HER today, eh?

[The_nun]

Will you be returning to the Sheffield event this month ?

[DTD-Nick.W]

Give My support to the Burnley Boys TK.
Nowab looks in good shape he may have come out of retirement.

[tikay]

Maureen - yes, I hope so. That's the plan, anyway. The 425 Crew may be there too, we are trying to get permission. And there is a Ladbrokes Party on the Friday, down in London, to trumpet the Ladbroke Poker Millions, to which I have been invited, as have Poker 425. So Poker 425 might want me to be in London (hope not...) or Sheffileld (yes PLEASE), or, more likely, nowhere at all. In which case, YES, Sheffield it is!

Nick - will do. A BAD day for Notts (I fully deserved to get busted), but a GREAT day for our buds from Blackpool. Good Luck to them.

[Gamblor21]

tell simon good luck! he can do it! i'll take for a hair cut if he wins... he'll need it with all the pictures he'll be posing for!

tikay you playing notts/vic on sun... anyone playing notts?

cheers

Ian

[The_nun]

Great Mr K ..I will be be there Friday but not sure if I can make it sooner, hard to plan too far in advance at the moment.a s that is a very important week.

[TightEnd]

tikay/jen/robert...anyone playing the 300 Tomorrow afternoon? If so, see you then

[Robert HM]

I fancy the 300.
Tikay check your pm please

[tikay]

Hi At It Gamblor - LOVE the new pic - Happy Memories, eh? Play The Vic on Sunday? Doubtful, we will be covering this, but then again, maybe Jen will want me out of the way. Or SHE may play it, who knows. We will decide tomorrow.

Maureen - hmm, thinking of you, & you know why. xx

[tikay]

Riobert - got the PM, but still cant reply on them, got problems with my PM still. Yes, of COURSE, you'd be very welcome, as always. Hope you got on OK in Court this morning.....

[tikay]

And in reply to your SECOND PM Robert, actually, Poker 425 are NOT here this weekend, it's the Poker Channel this time, they are making a big production of it, so we (425) have sort of "stepped aside" - nice way of outting it.....

We DID try to interview the rerson you mentioned, but not the greatest interview we ever did......

[tikay]
