We shall be in place for today's Final, hope you can join us, the action starts at 2pm. (Or is it 3pm? Just out of bed here....).

And, all being well, our next Live Update, after today, will be next week's UK Open at Luton, on Saturday and Sunday. There may also be a Mini Live Update of Wednesday's Heads-Up Challenge between Luton and Notts, subject to the approval of Rank & Grosvenor.

Today's Final should be a corker - enjoy!

Just to clarify my earlier post, now that I am a little more compos mentis, the Final starts at 3pm.

And Willie Tann has just rung me & told me off for not posting a list of Finalists - sorry Willie! - & their chip counts - so here they are - but they are NOT in Seat Order, as they will re-draw for seats.

Stuart Nash   24,100
Peter Roche 140,000
A. Vasiliou    46,300
S. Sundbo   241,500
David Rudling 172,200
E Moncada   179,900
Tony G      314,400
Angelo Besnanou 14,300
C Kanwar      79,900

Now im gonna tell you off for not remembering that you are playing LUTON in the heads up jobbie..not blackpool...
by the way, i enjoyed your article in Poker first...when you talked about the heads up match and said " Im sure Luton will provide stiffer competition than the blackpool lot" lol lol

Ok, we are safely set up at The Vic, whichb has been magically transformed overnight into a little TV Studio. Soon as Jen arrives (she's does not so much sleep, as hibernate) we will try & get some photos of the set-up here.

For those that know The Vic, The Final will take place on the 2nd Floor, in the far corner of the room. An area of about - well, squash court size, but not quite so symmetrical - has been curtained off, & so it appears there will be limited facility for spectators, maybe 20. But maybe the TV peeps will put a feed on the internal TV's here.

Inside the curtained area is a TV Table - proper job, spyhole cameras, the lot - with a zillion wires & cables hanging from undeneath it. The players seats appear to be red leather Barstools - no armrests, but swivellers - to a white backdrop, a sort of hoarding, with the logos of "THE GROSVENOR VICTORIA" and "BLUE POKER". It is VERY hot in here already, & will be worse when they close the curtained "doorway".

There are TV Techies everywhere, running around with plugs and leads and cables. In fact, it looks chaos! A producer chappie is just explaining to all the TV Crew "how poker works". Truly! He is giving a crash course to his cameramen & sound men. I guess this TV Crew have never done Poker before. "This is the button, the idea of the button is to"......."and they have a Small Blind and a big Blind".....they all get dealt 2 cards, and after a round of betting, the dealer deals the flop".......

The TV Crew seem to number about 12.

The Casino Manager said "don't forget we start on time, sharp at 3pm", to which TV Man said, "dunno about that Guv, more like 4 I'd say".....I hope that's not the case - Grosvenor have got every single comp away smack on time this week, all credit to them.

Just seen Edward Moncada, who impressed us greatly yesterday, he played terrific poker. He's the guy who won (I thinkj) the $2k Pot Limit Hold 'Em Bracelet at this years WSOP. I said "where is your Bracelet Ed?".  He said "I gave it to my father for Fathers Day". Ahh, how nice is THAT? Add him to my list of favourites, just for that. He's a starange guy, in that he's American, & likeable. Very unusual.

Yes Kev, it usually has a 16 or 20 page Poker section, although next weeks issue (Friday) will only have a 12 page section. That's because it's part of a bigger publication, "Sport First & Football First", and this week sees the start of the football season, so presumably there is pressure on space.

And before anyone implys covert spamming, yes, I do write for Poker First, & usually get a few pieces published in there each week.

And our first Yellow Card of the day goes to Ironside.

Willie has nipped me this morning for a few quid, so he can enter todays 300 comp. He's having a tough time, only won about $250,000 in the last month.......

All I can say is I hope the format me and Junior sorted for the first casino challenge is followed through. We were there at the start and we will wait for our rematch with grace, dont keep us waiting to long (Im thinking next months festival in Blackpool?). I will obviously be standing aside as the team manager as all losing managers do but I will nominate one of the other founders of the challenge to take over- Burnley John step forward. Hopefully he can pick a better lineup than I managed (and for gods sake john include the nuggett or he wont speak to you for 6 months either).
