Tikay is on PNL now and the other guest has not turned up, so he is going solo. i think he needs emails in and as many as possible.

They've gone straight on with the heads up - both players aware that they've only got half an hour before the blinds climb to an even more stratospheric level. So far Marty took down the first hand with a 175k bet on a
board, but then Roland took one preflop with an all-in re-raise over Marty's 400k raise on the button, two with raises from the big blind preflop (he showed A-K and A-J on these), and one with a 200k bet on a
limp-checked flop.
Then Marty Smyth won a 700k pot on the river, after Roland check-called the
turn, only to pass to a 500k bet on the final
... that classifies as a back and forth early part, doesn't it - although I think Roland is crawling ahead. The crowd here is clearly excited for Irishman Marty Smyth - and he does get a bit more whooping when he wins hands, but there's a good atmosphere and enthusiasm for both of the finalists.

Very little action to report at the moment - looks like they could be around even, as although most hands have been cut short, a couple did reach a River with Marty correctly calling bets by Roland with pairs, only for the Dublin EPT winner to muck.

Well, if the were shouting crapshoot, they won't be now. Lots of small ball poker, no huge pots.
I think Roland has a lot more patience than people give him credit for, and he's going to need it all if he's to topple someone as steady and level-headed as Marty Smyth.

Rumour has it that although the chip stacks were 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 2.8 million in favour of Sorel, he still agreed to an even split and play for the remaining 100k in the pot.
Sounds quite remarkable, huh, if true?
I just shared a lift with Sorel (carrying one of those comical massive cheques) and he told me he finished third, but took the most money from the chop. Top undercover reporting from me I hope you agree.

Well, despite the blinds being about to go up to 80k/160k, they're being a lot cagier than I would have guessed. The last set of hands saw Marty Smyth get a bit of an advantage back over de Wolfe, winning several small pots in a row, with a couple of well-timed re-raises preflop. Here's a picture taken from the rail, while we wait for a hand we can get our teeth into:

So Tikay are you watching this or commentating on PNL! Surely you cant be multi tasking!
Both!
Help is at hand though, Prince Charles is rushing to the Studio, so all is well.....

He had 2.9 mill chips and the last man had 1.2 mill noway would he took the same as the last man when the deal was done

Apparantly Sorrel took 371k. Quite a good deal for him i think....
There's no way he agrees to an even chop btw, a ridiculous notion altogether.
