Jb , this is better than TELETEXT . Its like the Saturday afternoon Vidiprinter on Grandstand !

Great stuff !

[jbsc7769]

Hey, I am just the pigeon, Tikay, Dave and Rowena are the guys...err and gals!

[Karabiner]

Willie Tann in Betfair colours, I thought he was with Sporting Options !

[jbsc7769]

Great news for fans of Mel....
Ivo Donev is OUT (thats not the good news!!)
Mel up to 100k
Tikay up to 79k

As for Willie.....I can only work with the details i have been given...thank god i said i was merely a pigeon!!!

[keith]

Superb stuff !!!

any idea how Mel got so many chips ?  ( I know Im pushing my luck a bit with this one !)

Didnt take them off Tikay , I have them in a reverse forecast !

[jbsc7769]

OK, this bit is above and beyond the call of duty....it seems Sporting Options MAY have gone into administration and there was a rescue package put together by Betfair..... here is the link....

I guess i ought to say here that I am not part of blondepoker so if it is wrong, do not sue blondepoker please! (or me!)
Keith, yes pushing your luck!! I wish I could say that Tikay funded my trip to France to cover this but, the harsh truth is it s being done via text message FROM tikay whilst he is playing. Is that guy a legend or what!
I am sure he will fill in the gaps when he views these messages at the end of days play. Although, maybe sleep would be a better option. When you get old, you need your sleep. (Just joking tikay!)
I will keep you updated the best I can but, I live in Greece so, it 2 hours ahead here, my bed may beckon at 4am !!

John Gale OUT. 19 left.
I don't have the full details of how this hand was played but, his AQ was busted by a monster of....75.
And why not!

[keith]

ha ha ! finally got you on something !

You are right about Sporting Options , they went to the wall , owed a lot of punters a lot of money (if you were unlucky enough to have left any with them ) and Betfair stepped in to try and help some of these unfortunates out.

Are we definately stopping at 18 jb ??

[jbsc7769]

Nope, I think not....now just down to 18 and they are redrawing seats as we speak.
Mel now down to 75k
Tikay down to 73k.
Somebody, who will remain nameless, stated that another site was the most up to date for the EPT details....did they ever visit this site.... lol

[keith]

I hope you slapped them down !!

Now , a more tricky question - how many players left can you name , and any chip counts ??

I'll give you more than the usual one minute !!

[jbsc7769]

OK, they have 15 minutes left then they can sleep! Bob Coombes has just been sat to Tikays right with approx 300k chips!
Tikay or I will post full chip counts then, (sorry it is not 1 minute!) not sure if he plans to get to his bed immediately or not. Knowing him, he will be here.

Hi Carlo, Welcome to blondepoker.com
I notice your message was just a quote from a previous message, I am intrigued what you were going to say now........
