European Championships, 5k Main Event Live Update, THE FINAL

[stewart]

tys was just wondering as i been going there for the last 6/8 months or so, since i won the 300 d/c a while back and never seen you lol

Ariston doesnt "play" at Blackpool, but he does turn up and donate to the prize funds

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.

Going OT but bought a copy of this paper last week. WH Smith gave me blank looks when I asked if they stocked it, but found it in a shop near Nott'm rail station. Very impressive. (Even Tikay's articles)

PS

Its called "Sport First" Ironside (Incorporating Football first and poker first 1.30 weekly)

Last time I was there was the festival in May (or was it April?) where I played all the events bar the Omaha. I am playing tomorrow evening I think as I now need to get some wages (playing the big events sure kills the bankroll quickly) and I will be qualifying for the Grand Prix through Blackpool as well. Just look for the quiet guy at the table who everybody knows as a rock and who only ever raises with aces....I will be sat next to him with a big stack.

Got no money left Kev - I've paid in 4 blokes for todays 300 comp, & they aint paid me yet.......

Think it's a sell-out by now, too, as they are ONLY using "downstairs", so capacity would be only, what, 100 or so?

But you are right Kev, I really ought to keep out of Jen's way & let her get on with the Updating. It's so sad to be old, & unwanted, & have nobody care about you. (This is where you all say what a top bloke I am, & PLEASE dont leave us, we WANT YOU tikay....).

[ariston]

Where Jenn? Bugger off and have your afternoon nap Tikay

[tikay]

Yup, as I thought, Ariston wants me to stay.........

[tikay]

For those wondering what is happening here, the answer is...NOTHING.

No players have entered the Arena yet, they are all patiently (or impatiently) waiting to get started. Plenty of running round with bits of gaffer tape by the TV guys, but no sign of action.

4.30pm is my bet now.

[tikay]

Nice Norweigan man - Mr Sundbo? - just politely asked Mr TV Producer man what time they will start the comp. "Oooh, about 4.15, 4.30 at a guess". My "long on 4pm" bet is doing very nicely. Call it 4.45 then?

[Ironside]

will it be safe to go for my dinner at 6 30 with my folks or will it start before i get back?

[threekings]
