Walsall, Grosvenor Grand Prix - FINAL DAY

[Djinn]

Hi there - we're still here, in case you were wondering, but the action has just dried up like my windscreen fluid.  There have been a couple of flops, with (usually Stuart) taking it down at that point.  They are relentlessly breakless, and so the chip counts are not forthcoming with any accuracy, but I'll go and tell you who's ahead and who's behind.

The game has gone remarkably tight. These guys who, hitherto, have said "no deals" are playing for a shed-load of money - there's still £200,000+ in play. We are trying to get chip counts at the first opportunity.

Here, we see a TV Technician caught up in the excitement. "Calm down, it's a game of poker, dear".

Tony, tell me your not driving home

[Djinn]

They're taking turns - now it's Pino Valentino's turn to take down a 60k pot on a  jd flop from Paul Dargon.  They are playing 'pass the blinds' a bit.

[RED-DOG]

what time do they finish?

[tikay]

Here's another view of the Final Table. Everything you need to see is here, except, ahem, two of the 5 players - Pino & Kerry.

Not sure what time they finish Red. We are down to 4 (Jen posting details of an exit) , & it could all end very quickly. Who knows?

Mr. Valentino has  ad , Mr. Fox  asp .

The board comes:  th kc ks and we have a fifth place finisher: Stuart Fox, winning £10,000.

Last three have to do a deal with this structure surely

[tikay]

There is a short break following Stu Fox's extraordinary departure.

This camera has been out of use all day, as the cameraman left his stilts at home.

[tikay]

There you go Foxy - especially for you. Typically Stu, he's still smiling, but he's hurting like hell inside. He played great for 2 days, then, in my opinion, a lapse of concentration did him. He''ll be back, he has a rare talent.
