Walsall, Grosvenor Grand Prix - FINAL DAY

[guru_raj]

great coverage - a few more pics would be great if you can get away with it...latest chips too if poss. thx!

[Djinn]

I can hear Dan behind me doing the post-knockout interviews.  To be honest he's taking it pretty well, having been clearly excited to have made the final and looking forward to a shot at the top money.  I also hear he's gone directly out to do the commentary for the final, now he's not sat at it.  Good for him.

Yes Red, amazing that 4 finalists came via the online route. Maybe it's easier that way - that's how I qualified........

Hold the camera steady? At my age? I struggle to hold a cup of tea steady.

Here's a glum looking Danny Samson shortly after busting out. "The game sucks" was his eloquent description. He's not really had any chips all day, & has had to duck & dive just to survive. The guy behind him is holding a brown cardboard box - that's a Laptop, all the Finalists get one. A somewhat unusual choice of prize, but a good one.

A short toilet break - is there any other type of toilet break? - now, while the TV peeps fiddle with their knobs & stuff. I gather there is some sort of technical hitch.

Don't you just love all the details

The things we TV types have to go through eh Tony  

For some unfathomable reason, the Poker Channel peeps decided to interview me, ( I think Jonathan Rabb had been telling them porkys)

They will never use it, I was like 13 year old school girl, all shy and fidgety, then, as soon as you finish, you know it was crap, you know what you should have said, and you want to do it again properly, did my street cred no good at all

Sorry to disappoint you Red. But noone with a tash like yours has any street cred to lose in the first place.

Know the feeling Red. I go through it once a week. And the annoying thing, is that I ALWAYS think of a witty remark, or smart-ass retort, AFTER we have finished recording.

See, The Camel can make great off-the cuff wisecracks, he's got a sense of humour. Supports QPR......

I note a post by Guru Raj earier. I had the pleasure of him at my table at Gutshot a week or two back, a really great guy. He wants more pics? OK, attempt at flashless pics coming up. Now, hold it steady tikay.

Yelliw Card for I K I. Damn smartarse.

After sorting out a minor technical difficulty, the players are back and off.

I find it hard to estimate chip counts at the moment from this non-vantage point, but there's an all in from Kevan Simcock called by Paul Dargon and two others - Chris Johnson and Kerry Taylor

Flop    Paul checks, Chris checks, Kerry checks.
Turn    It checks round
River      Kerry bets and they pass

Kevan has Ace high
Kerry shows  js jd

Kevan Simcock is the 8th place finisher for £5,000
