Without the Blackpool crew - Yogi, Wolfy, the dealers & just about everybody up there, the H-U jobbie would never have happened. Now it's gonna be a fixture, Luton next, & even better, P4C are gonna earn out of it.
And there will ALWAYS be a Notts-Blackpool challenge from now on, every Fessie. You never know, Blackpool may even win one.

Sorry to say it remains an attempt. James (Royal Flush) was forced to give up after 66 hours of continuous heads up play. He needed to go for 72 to break the world record. However, James did fantastically well. Last I heard he was over 400 up - considering most of the games were for a fiver thats pretty good. Made some money for poker4charity, which we all like to see.
I played him three times during the attempt and shamefully he won all three of them. In one he outflushed me, in another he outstraighted me. In my defence, I was a little bit tired yesterday, having not had a very good night's sleep, hehe.
There is an argument that it James did achieve a record; I understand that the 72 hour record was a ring game and certainly not as arduous as this H-U session.
I got to play him and won his chips but, after 50 hours play, the poor lad was mistaking the button for a chip and thought all his own chips were trains, so I didnt win any bragging rights there nor did I have the heart to cash the chips in.

does it matter in a way? james is a hero for even going that far and putting himself on the line for others less fortunate.
cant seem to find any records for poker dealing, me and yogi might give this a go

you and yogi deal? i have been to blackpool twice and still to see you 2 pick up a single card,
now if there was a record for standing round sucking a thumb while getting the staff to deal
you 2 might have a chance

Thanks to everyone for all their support. 5000 was raised for Game for Life along with another 2000 worth of assets purchased as a direct result - so certainly no failure. I hope VCPOKER.COM the sponsors of the event felt they got value for money from this attempt. If anyone would like to register their thanks and praise for their sponsorship please email Andy Horne and let him know at

Bring on the heads up challenge................................................................................ and a couple of days off.

thankyou all for the support i got doing this.
I really enjoyed the challange and got to meet some great people, pitty Rob you didbnt introduce yourself! Although i have you narrowed down to 1 of 3 "train conductors" as i like to call them!!
It was a bizzare experience and i am glad that some decent money was raised for P4C in the process!!
I will be writing at some point a proper report for P4C and will post it here when i do, untill then i would just like to say cheers for the money Jon!!!

I was the one in the tasteful blazer and proper trousers. Hmm perhaps we shouldn't mention trains on this forum or you never know what will be posted next.

Trains? Someone mention trains? What do you want to know?
As a matter of interest - great interest - I was in York today, just in time to catch the 2.49 Virgin Voyager back to Derby (stopping at Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield & Chesterfield). But York is such a fascinatng station, with the Virgin Main Line (I hate that poofter Branson with his wooly jumpers & plastic trains, pah!) & GNER - "The Route of the Flying Scotsman" emblazoned on the side of each carriage, running through parallel island platforms. So I decided to miss that one & catch the next an hour later. Wht an hour I had - fascinating stuff.
