Wow Tighty the updates have been magic - so thankyou for all the hard work. With the failure of the live stream you've been a hero - I don't think I've ever seen so many hands reported before.
I've been waiting til the field narrows to 20 or 30 players in the hope that I could funk for one or two people but I can't - there's a bunch of great guys left in that I'd love to see win.
Alex doing the double would be pretty sick - I don't mind that no-one would hear the end of it as we haven't heard the end of the last one yet!
Red Dog - some sick shortstack grinding for one of blonde's most loved members along with Tikay. Red Dog clearly > Tikay though as he at least dyes his hair a sensible colour
Frankie - wtf at annoying. I wish more people were like him in live poker. So fun, full of energy and a really nice bloke. Has a lot of #loveforthegame too.
Jake - be great to see him win this. After finishing 2nd in the GUKPT grand final a few weeks ago his confidence must be at rock bottom and for such a nice guy, he deserves to have it back.
Titbeam - could be the greatest winners interview ever. 'LOL Live poker. Variance. Rungoodaments is it - never playing live again - 20 hands a day rofl isssss ittttt'.
Jerome - don't know how he doesn't get mentioned as one of the nicest guys in poker more. Absolutely top dude. Would like to see him win after iirc taking a horrid beat deep in this tourney last time out.
Finally Matt Russell...
is freerolling in this event because of a long term bet we had this year which saw Matt have to train at the gym 4x per week all year with 4 weeks off. He had, I think 2 weeks out due to injury, 2 weeks off and has his final 2 weeks off now.
This means he's trained 46 weeks and a total of 184 times.
If he wins the Monte Carlo, he'll have effectively been paid 485pounds for every session he's done in the gym.
