EPT Dublin - FINAL DAY

[tikay]

No, this will NOT be covered by Live TV, but it is being recorded for transmisssion at a later date. Poker 425 are here too, interviewing all the Finalists, and, well, anyone of interest. That will be shown from this Wednesday, on Channel 425, "Poker 425", 11pm each & every night.

Just got back from the pub watching Newcastle hammer West Brom. Delighted to see Pommo on the final table. Bring it down mate

I have to say - HOORAH for ethernet - this is less like pulling teeth and more like having them polished. 

You will get more updates, of a fuller nature, for the final.  A bit of scene setting before the Promised Buffet materialises - imagine a huge kind of stately home's library, with the kind of TV stage thingy with its lighting rig in the middle like a boxing ring, and some spectator seating right by the table on all sides (which I will be sneaking into if it looks emptyish still when they kick off).  They are just doing the Placing - whereby the players' chips are stacked on the table, which should be done in about half an hour.

Hi Karabiner, well yes, it has been stessful rather than hard today, with bad internet connections all the way. And not enough help truth to tell, though Jens been heroine-ic.

OK, lets try &set the scene.

Here's the TV table right now, with John Duthie mending something. It's very much in the tradition of Televised (recorded) TV Finals that no matter  how much notice you give the TV peeps, they are never ready, always fiddling interminably with wires. TV recording must be one of THE most inefficient industries in the world.

You don't often see THIS sort of thing alongside a poker table. It's a statue. I think.

Hmmmm. Having shot my first video this week (nothing too flash, but it's a nice landmark all the same in my switch from journo to ad-world tvm), I have to disagree Tikay, last thing you want to do is get half way thru and find out the light's turned against you. Tv techs do a fantastic job.

Hey Anna, liked your 'blonde rep at the BFWCOP post' does Tikay know you were referring to him

BTW, it's taken me 7 months to rack up about twice as many posts as you've managed in one w/end!!!

Tikay please pass on my best wishes to Jim R please. A nice quiet man who deserves the result, Thanks
