Sheffield Summer Festival - Main Event, Day 2 Live Update

[tikay]

We are up at Sheffield, with the Poker 425 TV Crew, so we thought we may as well try and do a little Mini-Live Update. No Jen, I'm  afraid, so you will  have to make do with the 'ol Fella.

Big thanks to Craig, & all the team at Napoleons in Sheffield, they have been most helpfiul, considering they are Yorkshire folk......

Correction, make that FOUR, George Geary just went out to Mohammed.

Rumit busted out twice!! THE CHEEK!

[tikay]

Thick & fast.

Simon "Kasbah" Zach busts out to Fraser Bellamy. His Q-7 was dominated by Q-J, and the QJ flopped the straight. Simon was down to the felt folowing an earlier accident, & had no choice but to "move"......

11 left, and it's a 10 man Final......

[tikay]

Thank you for that Royal Flush, see, I NEED you & Jen. It was Rossi who busted out the second time, so to speak.......

[tikay]

Maureen, the nice guy to whom you refer (I assume you do not mean me....) was Simon "Kasbah" Zach, and YES, he is a terrific guy. Sadly, you have just bokked him, he has just exited.....

How much was the buy-in?

[tikay]

It's lovely & peaceful here, as always on a Day Two afternoon start, except for the non-stop talking of Paul Parker, who talks more than James browning. No, that's unfair - half as much as James......
