And talking about the excitement building.......

Channel 425 have a Sports Betting Programme "live" 3 afternoons a week, and we have just sorted it out that I will do a brief, Live, Phone-In from tableside to the show this afternoon.

The show is on Channel 425, & is called "4/5".

When I find out what time we are going to do the Phone-In, I will let you know.

Re : I have just had a drink (Tea!) with Julian & Amanda, Julian is unusually nervous, but that's understandable. He's gone for a kip now, & intends to wander across to the Casino at around 4.45pm. We are only 200 yards from the Casino, staying in the Owl Hotel. Julian, Amanda & I all fly home on the same flight to East Midlands Airport Saturday morning, then Julian is taking me to Coventry Airport, where my car, for some odd reason, is parked.

Here's a hand that Julian playd in the semi-final yesterday, which gives you a clue to Julian's extraodinary game.

He's in very good shape, 16 players left, cruising to the Final, but has not played a hand for 30 minutes or more.

UTG, he finds this......


 

A clear Raise, & he does. (Eh.....?).

The flop brings this.....

  

So he likes this flop - he's up & down, AND he can represent the A, having bet UTG pre-flop, so he does exactly that, by betting out.

Turn comes, glory be,.......

  

He bets again, still reprsenting the A, & Matey Boy Re-Raises him.

With a flush possible, Our Hero decides to take it down there & then, so moves all-in, & Matey Boy, who either HAS the A or is representing it, lets go.

Lovely stuff!








He has the near stone cold kahunas on the turn , its rainbow , he has position , surel y he coulda got the rest or more on the  river ,what was so brilliant about that ?

[Greg A]

But I'm hoping like hell he wins it, he deserves it

[tikay]

Correction, the turn was the  , & I have edited my post now, my apologies.

But you miss the point ENTIRELY Greg, I am afraid you have suffered something of a "whoosh". The WHOLE point of showing the hand was to demonstrate Thewy's ingenuity in betting THAT hand, UTG, Pre-Flop, as a means of making something happen. Surprised you missed that one fella....

Anyhow, let's move on, I think he's one of THE greatest players alive, but let's not argue now, we are here in a celebratory mood, not to pick the poor fella to pieces on his big day.

Julians just arrived, & he's sparkling!

[tikay]

Well, we have overcome the first & biggest problem - we are in! I've had a meet with the Director of Communications, bla bla bla, she has apologised that we were spoken to so rudely yesterday, & treated so badly. Next case.

We have been granted limited access to the small & crowded arena for today, including "occasional" picture taking sessions.

So we are all set! The players are being called to the table, but there will be a while yet before they start, as they do the fanfare & announcing thing big time out here.

I have taken a few pics already, & they will be up soon.

Jen has arrived.

Exciting, 'innit?
