Annette Melton of 888.com shows us what they are playing for (Picture taken especally for Paul Ho, as I reckon she is right up his strasse)


This rather embarrassing actually as this is Annette, but I spent all day yesterday calling her fair haired friend Annette. This perhaps explains a few things.

Hello and welcome back to blonde


It's the usual rigmarole I am afraid. Players being mic'ed, production staff flitting about, player interviews


Within the next 15 minutes I hope


Chili, I established, stood more chance of gettting 8 final table player photogaphs than I, so she is off doing that and will post them soon


James Mitchell still has not shaved. I reckon the lads at BlackBelt should have a word!

[TightEnd]

Now bear in mind that we cannot actually get close to the table during the final for photos. The rail is already several deep too. We'll be working off the feed mainly and hoping you discuss hands, progress and incidents with us. Please


That way we can have a busy thread, cheers

Chris Moorman news


Got up this morning for a flight back. Missed flight. Realised he had left €15,000 in his hotel room safe. Rushed back, collected it, trying to book flight for late today.


Not a problem I have much experience of!

Nice, loud, partisan atmosphere..mostly for Limerick's Paul Carr, wearing the Yellow Munster Shirt

[Bad Beat]

 V good updates as ever this week. Was telling Tighty yesterday, I always go off to read Blonde on the dinner break and catch the bad beat stories in shortened form rather than eating the buffet and getting them live.

 This tournament has been great. Lots of people I'd like to win it from a long way out and almost nobody I was wishing would DIAGF.

 Obviously Black Belt are all behind James. I used to always swap %s with Rob Sherwood in Bellagio comps where he has a great record. V pleased to see him win the Sole Survivor, God knows how I missed the fact they were betting on it and that him and Stuart Fox were 70/1 in a very weak field.

 Pete Murphy also has a pretty good record. He's a Boyle's sponsored pro and is known as The Multiplier because he's done a couple of Ferguson style spin up challenges. You can read about that on the Boyle blog but it's pretty impressive.

 The other person I've played with the most is Ben Roberts. I doubled him up on day one in a three way coup with Cos when Ben's 8,10 connected better with the J,Q,9 than my JJ. Obviously Cos did all the betting. Paddy Power were 12/1 this morning. They are clearly mental and must never have seen him play. If they are doing in running you should fill your boots at double figures.

 Should be a great final.
