Walsall, Grosvenor Grand Prix - FINAL DAY

[ifm]

good luck to Foxy, top bloke and obviously a decent player

[Djinn]

And so, with the blind levels set at an hour, the blinds will be 5,000 - 10,000.

They're shuffling up and dealing.  And recording.

Here's another crowd scene. Well, a sort of mini-crowd. The Walsall regulars may recognize a face or two. Our Jen is far right, having nabbed a seat, & has got her laptop on, of all places, her lap. That could catch on.

Please tell Foxy that snoopy says Good Luck! 

Bring it home for the Blondites!!! 

[ShortStack]

could u wish Pino the best of luck from steve t. & tell him I m off to bed so drop my %age off through the letter box on his way home.

[TightEnd]

tell Pino I live at Number 6, on the same road as Shortstack.

If he could find it within him to post the age through the wrong letterobx, I'll make sure Steve gets it!!!

tikay you think i would joke about something as serious as this?

[Djinn]

It's a bit quiet in more ways than one - no hand by hand announcing as yet, and no action to speak of.  The dealer is wearing an earpiece.  He looks like a secret service agent.

[I KNOW IT]

Here's a view of the railbirds in action. Front row, right to left as we look, is Mick McCluskey, with a very smart Jonathan Rabb of Blue Square.com sat next to him. The guy next to Jonathan was, shortly after this pic was taken, asked to calm down.

I understand his excitement, thats the closest he's ever been to a final table. (Approx 5 ft )

i told you 1am before first card will be dealt to allow gary jones to stop action jack from talking

Karabiner, I think, judging by JR's chortling, the answer was "no". He did suggest you could lay HIM a monkey..... Ask The Camel - he's good for a bet, as a rule.

I do believe they are actually playing now. Jen is in the cardroom, I am not, so she'll give you the details. She seems to be really enjoying it, & her enthusiasm shows in her work. "Hoorah", accompanied by waving hands, is her most frequent saying. She really is a most unusual, & quite extraordinary character. An IQ of about 350, & as nutty as a fruitcake.

I'd like to thank her, on behalf of everyone watching, for her devotion to the cause. It's a privelege and a joy to work with her, &, if you don't mind me saying so, you are very lucky to have her as Updater.

The camera-eye view is being shown on the monitors outside the final table area, and I can just about see half of one if I lean sideways.  That's good, because otherwise I'd have no idea what was going on.  Not sure that poker is as good a live spectator sport as it is a televised one.  And there's no popcorn or beer.  I'm going outside for a minute where I might be able to record a hand for you watchers.

[Ironside]

surely they are not showing the cards on the TV outside the card room that would be stupid even for a tv company
