"OK, you have won a £10,000 Vegas Package, well done".

[tikay]

That will be the basis of one, maybe two, 'phone calls tomrrow morning.

Sky Poker's monthly Viva Las Vegas Final takes place at 9pm tonight, & with 1 in 10 getting the £10,000 package, & so far, there are 9 runners. So it may make TWO x £10k packages.

If it only makes 19, there will be £9,000 "left over", which will be spread 50%-30%-20% between 2nd, 3rd, & 4th.

Here's the 19 at 8pm.......

Very best of luck to ElRupert. I think he's the only blonde on the list

[Big_D]

Very tough field that - Probably the toughest VLV i've seen!! Get in it Gramps and bink a seat

[tikay]

A handful of blondes in there, such as cotty, & a few who are on both sites, such as Nutter5932, & DanTB10.

ElRupert is well known as a blonde, & been playing some decent high-value cash volume on Sky Poker, helping to support the Sky-blonde Sponsorship deal.

It starts at 9pm, & will be covered on Channel 865, where James Hartigan & Ed Giddins will be joined in the Studio by UKIPT winner Jamie Burland.

The Sky Poker Vegas crew fly out  on the 3rd of July, & the players wll be booked on the Virgin Flight from Gatwick 1 or 2 days later.

See you at McCarron?

Don't tempt me, Dyl!

[NoflopsHomer]

Rupert & SoulCrush streets ahead of the others skillwise imo.

[TightEnd]

who is SoulCrush please?

[tikay]

Soul gonna crush.

Not a bad shout, Chris.  He won't be far off.

SIMUK & CoxyLboro can play, too, we know DanTB has the game, & Nutter simply kills the Heads-Up's next door.

LIAM5King is, I think, the son of Sue Norsden, aka "kidgirlgy", who won her £10k VLV package on Sky Poker last year, & finished about 300th in the WSOP ME for about $37,00.

Karlluke is Tina, a long-term Sky Poker favourite, she plays live in Southend & elsewhere, & Hurst05 is a kid who is amongst the most promising youngsters on Sky Poker, lives in Sheffield.

"Jack L" is a new name to me, may have paid in direct.

Lots of potential fairytale stories there, too, such as RosJim, & andrew1947.

The Monday morning after a Vegas final is a fun time to have my job, the 'phone call is really quite something.

[tikay]

Oi oi - TitBeam is in! He plays as "beaneh".

What is the buyin Tikay?

Can you give a quick rundown how the prize is broken up?

[celtic]

Why do you phone people to tell them they have qualified? Surely they know if they have qualified or not?

Can you phone me tomorrow and pretend I won?

[tikay]

What is the buyin Tikay?

Can you give a quick rundown how the prize is broken up?

£1,100, Keith.

One x £10,000 package for every TEN runners.

The "left over" money - if any - is paid 50%, 30%, & 20% to the next three "seat bubbles".

If the 20 players remain regged, & no more join, it will just be the 2 Packages. There are, however, quite often 2 or 3 late registrations.

If you are seriously interested, & need more details, ring me. It starts in 25 minutes.

No, I mean how is the £10,000 broken up?

Hotel/travel/expenses money etc

We need their Passport details, "special requirements", who they plan to take as their Guest (it includes two flight tickets), & whether they want a smoking or no-smoking Suite at The Rio, that sort of stuff. We often invite them onto 865, & generally look after them, too.

Sicilian tried to bink a package, but I don't see his name on that list......

[The Camel]

Can't play this tonight, but might have a crack next month.
