something which confuses me....

Roland de Wolfe had the World Series of Poker logos covered up on his cap, which maybe understandable as WH dont want to show a rival poker tournament.

So why was Roy Brindley allowed to show the "ladbrokes poker" logo on his shirt, I would expect laddies to be the biggest rival to WH.

i can only assume it had something to do with the 'WSOP TM'

and nothing to do with WH or Laddies, this can be the only explaination mate.

although if someone else has the correct answer, i would also be interested to hear.

Yep, players were allowed logos, but only on their shirts and only of a certain size.

Thanks Adam

If that last ten hadn't fallen, I'd have doubled through Tony. He'd have raised with his flush (thinking I just had trips, but not the house) and then I'd have gone all-in, with not enough chips to make him fold, even if he suspected I might have filled up.

Chopper, Pascal Perrault won the heat, beating Roy Brindley heads-up.

Who was commentating on this? I only ask is that jesse may is one of kind but his co commentator seemed to mis call alot of situations.

Oh and the table? How on earth do they cope? The dealer is almost lying on the table to reach the chips sometimes!

Lazaroonie,

The players were all allowed to wear sponsors logos but due to the possible constraints of TVadvertising the players were not allowed to wear sports brands as this can lead to problems in some countires re advertising rules and regulations. If you remember watching the early US poker shows on TV you will remember that the adverts in the middle of the table used to be covered up. Sportswear logo's such as Nike and Addidas needed to be covered up as did one players sunglasses that had a small logo down the side.

TV advertising rules seem to be different in many countries and these regulations were in the t&c's to minimise the chance of breaking the rules in some areas. Presentable told me that one of their earlier shows had to be touched up(very expensive) to remove a branded name on a pair of sunglasses as it was feared this would cause problems.

I hope you enjoyed the show

Thanks

Wizard, the table was on the big side but to be honest Marina is on the small side!

Good show again booby1, baby!

Lucy Rokash did try to guess players moves but you can't get them all right and you can't take into account the sort of "moves" some of them were making.

I really liked her doing that, it's great to see someone stick out their neck and guess what will happen next when it's not clearly obvious, most commentators will only do it if they're guaranteed to know that one person will fold, or both players will end up all-in.
