ps. Can someone confirm whether or not Bill Oddie did the voice of Penthold. Heard it the other day from someone, but remain unconvinced.

Chris Smith, whose neighbour doesn't look too impressed with his stack.  Chris, however, just seems to love playing, big chips or little chips, though, which is a very likeable quality.  He's going to have to make some kind of definitive move soon, however, as the blinds are about to go up to 800/1,500 which is the biggest jump so far (currently 500/1000).

It was Terry Scott from the Carry On crew and Terry and June.

And if one Smith is short stacked, the other's in the top 5% chipwise - Daniel has 77,000 and is currently pretending to be a reserved, suave player.  The front slips, every now and then, however.

Meanwhile tikay looks like a Lemsip advert.

Neil Kelly is OUT.

All-in on a 9-4-J Flop with Q-J, he found Jack Byron with J-9. 9 on Turn sealed his fate.

RED-DOG's tomorrow's world (poker world anyhow) suggestion is for poker tables where the dealer sits in a cut-out hole in the middle.

Good idea or off his trolley?

Where would the pot and flop be dealt?

Yes what a great idea ... NOT  

Imagine a dealer with his back to half the table..... Has Red been on the Guinness ??

Red here. It was Snoopy's idea, and when I pointed out the flaws, he passed it off as mine.

I remember Tom talking about this at the £300 event at Stoke, where they had these lovely round tables so everyone could see each other, the problem of oval tables being that seat 1 and 10 can't see each other. The only trouble with these tables was that all the dealers, even those with baboon-esque arms, couldn't reach the far side of the table to rake in chips and cards which was a minor hindrance. I still prefer these tables to the oval ones, but I would love it if someone could design a table which addressed both the flaws of the oval and circular tables.

Aah, yes, but the idea is that he spins round. Like a revolving table at the chinese.

I think the future holds no tables at all, just a kind of magnetic field in which the flop hovers, while cards appear via little chutes in your armrests, dealt by robots.
