£500,000 Sky Poker UK Poker Championships @DTD - to be on Sky Sports

[ripple11]

Tomorrow on Sky Sports 3 at 10pm is the first episode of the SkyPoker UKPC that was held at DTD

Watch and post....I would wager quite a few familiar faces will be in the coverage....

Looking forward to this

thoughts about last night's first show?

anyone watch it?

[Amatay]

Enjoyed it. Thought the commentary was funny/different. You can tell Sam was a bit inexperienced imo but I thought he and Richard were a good team and worked well. Actually had a couple of lol moments at a couple of comments from Sam.

This made me chuckle. Jeff Kimber in a pot with Albert Sapiano and Grafton comments

"I don't know who Jeff faced off against for the World Heads Up Championship, but I doubt it was someone as fearsome as Albert Sapiano"

He'd be right, it was lucky_scrote!

Pretty enjoyable show ,some funny moments , not to sure on the point of  trip to the Newark airshow segment, that  being my only moan tbh

Going up on YouTube?

In due course, yes, but I imagine not until the 6 part series has aired on Sky Sports.

I'll try & find out for you.

Point noted, bit awkward for me to comment really.

Each episode has something similar at various Nottinghamshire venues, but it is only a minute or 90 seconds per episode, so you can always go have a wee, or make a cuppa.

I thought Sam's commentary was pitched just right for the target audience. The gamble paid off - he'd not done anything similar before, but he's bright & articulate, & radiates enthusiasm. Potent mix, that.

Hi Mr L.

Just been confirmed that each episode (there are 6) will be uploaded to You Tube one week after it airs on Sky Sports. (Sky Sports, obviously, have first dibs).

So the 1st Episode which aired on Sky Sports this Monday (28h April) will go on You Tube next Monday, May 5th, & so on.

Once the series has finished it's 6 episode run on Sky Sports, it will then commence airing weekly on Challenge TV.

Ahhh that's good it won't clash with my takeshi's castle series link already on challenge then!

Wasn't keen on the air base segment. If somebody is channel flicking and happens to drop on the show during that segment, after a few seconds or so you will have lost that viewer as they are on sky sports and obviously want to see something sport related not a history lesson or a geography lesson.

Potentially that person who's channel flicking is lost forever as he finds something else when he turns over and never returns back to the poker show. Just my opinion.

[George2Loose]

Or they get lost by the poker which is zzzzzzz and get mesmerised by the awesome air base segment!

Apologies.
