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

[tikay]

Hehe, nice one Ariston.

Just spoken to Stuart Nash, he's down to the felt, but is guaranteed 13k come what may. Not like him to be short-stacked, but he battled all day yesterday & made the Final eventually, terrific stuff. He's a genuinely nice guy, too. He said he's "relatively new" to tournament poker. Not doing bad then, is he? I think he's made 8 Festival Finals in 2005 alone, at a guess.

[tikay]

Still no sign of action here, none at all. No players, no nothing.

[ariston]

They have a wanted section in there do they?

[maruxz]

Do you mean the tournament is late?

[tikay]

Jen has been on the 'phone, eta 3.30pm. She was so tired yesterday. Theres not much of her, & she does not look after herself. Girlies, eh?

[ariston]

Not like a TV crew to delay the start of a major final, who would've thought it.

[ariston]

Are we stuck with you all day Tikay or is the no1 reporter from blonde going to be on the case?

They have a wanted section in there do they?

[tikay]

Hi Maruxz, welcome to blonde.

Yes, it will be a late start, for sure. It was advertised as 3pm, but it's looking like 4pm. Ariston has it spot on. I have to be careful what I say, I need to keep my Press Pass......

how on earth can you not not ariston

he is the one that goes on and aon and on

[ariston]

Not played there for a while but it used to be my regular game. Have spent the last 12 months chasing the dream on the main circuit but I will be returning to blackpool scene in the next week or 2 . Name is Russ Cawley and Im easily recognised by the picture on the left. Fridays and Saturdays may be difficult as I usually have my son on those days- I will be a regular at the 30 n/l game that is starting on Sunday evenings. I am not sure but I think this is the first regular n/l game to be run in this country.

Damn cheek of Ariston, "are we stuck with you all day Tikay, wheres the No 1 reporter?"..... I AM HE. Except for Jen of course....(she is BOSSY, let me tell you). She will take over as soon as she arrives, she's different class.

"Does Ariston play in Blackpool" asks Stewart. Occassionally. And briefly. Cant WAIT to see some of the responses to Stewarts question......

Grab a steak sarnie and a cuppa, and get into a cash game Tikay.
