OOOO Tikay is on the mike as I type.  Doing his compere bit - He LOVES it. Its being filmed by 425 so you guys will see next week lol. He really is a pro - he announces "shuffle up and deal" and we have started the knockout stages.  62 left and blinds at 200 - 400.

Keep this secret chilli but Tony has an admirer.........my bloody girlfriend   a lovely 26 year old lady who cant stop watching him on PNL and is jealous that im getting to meet him at BB3 (and i have to get a picture)....





Sad isnt she

Tony has a young beautiful admirer? 

Wow Jim, why the hell isn't she going to blonde bash? Tikay will be beside himself.  He has his corporate hat on at the mo but I shall direct him your message as soon as.

Because im the jealous type ...........No she has to work unfortunately.

Back to some poker - James Browning has just been over and explained his last hand.  C T Law raised it up to 1,200 and James went all in for about 9k which well covered Mr Law.

C T called with A Q suited and James turned over A K off.  His AK stood up and James is now up to 17k.  The average is 9,500 with 58 players still vying to be no.1.

change of guard here as chili insisted her nose needed some lenghtly powdering.

RED-DOG double news;
our hero had been quite busy and was fortunate to pick up kings after his third consective raise...
George Geary wasn't impressed tho & decided to defend his BB...
Axx flop checked, RD had a pop on the turn when a 10 fell and decided to call GG's all-in bet on the river when the 10 paired....he was right & was rewarded with a sweet pot & is now comfy with 20K+

Thanks Julie!

Just caught the end of an exciting hand on Eric Barkers table.  They was a 3 way pot all on their backs.  Eric had KK infamous matey had QQ infamous matey 2 had A2.  Eric's Kings stood up and he went from 2.2k 10 mins before to a healthier 14.4k.

Keith Hawkins seems to be cruising on 22,700.

Cool hand on Reds table.  3 way pot again, 2 guys all in.  Young and cool gun local Marc Foggin takes down a big pot with 88.  His oppos had A9 and KQ.  Amazingly the flop is A Q 8 something for everyone and Marc's trip 8's stood up knocking out 2 in the process.

We are down to 43.

John "jonnygreek" Stam also appears to be on a roll.  He is a local lad (apart from being Greek  ). The guy played all week at the recent Aspers festival and got to 3 final tables, has been rolling ever since and seams to be everywhere at the moment.  Won a SNG for the Sheffield main event at Napoleans and finished 5th - great showing. 

He is on 22k at the mo.  38 left with average stack at 14,400.

meanwhile...
the cash games have started & unsurprisingly tk has been inundated with pleas to sit down.
i'm sorry to say i got to witness him bet the pot on a A,K,10,5 board with a J-3 off & scoop...
why they let him get away with this, well the mind boggles

[julian]

the comp is now down to 4 tables & notable 'past percentages' still in with a shot include camel, eric B & B4matt.
worringly, i'm now being asked to take a seat in the cash games

[Chili]

Julian keeps hijacking my thread!!  I have kicked him into touch to tell you that there seams to be a table with alot of big stacks.

Eric Barker seams to be the daddy tonight.

Eric 45k
David Burton 41k
Dave Stevenson 20k
Andy Wislon 14k  -  Lovely fella seams to be on the circuit alot and is a very pleasant table mate.
James Browning 14k

We are down to 33, avg 16,600.

As we are guests of William Hill tonight, I cannot fault their hospitality.  Every one got a pack of cards, the dealers have personalised T-Shirts for each Grand Prix qualifier, my Vodka is flowing and getting happier by the minute 

[Chili]

RED-DOG and b4matt are on the same table now.  Matt has about 20k and "slow cruising".  Tom is on about 19k. 

[Karabiner]

I forgot to mention RED-DOG is looking rather dapper tonight.  Beautiful checked suit and TIE.  Tikay also, he looks like a movie star - anyone wanna debate what kinda film?

Silent ?
