Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones

[Tal]

While the dealer is shuffling the cards, I am accosted by a chap in a white hoodie. He takes his headphones off (polite sort).

"You work here, mate?"

"No, sir, I don't."

"Ok."

He then puts his headphones back on and goes back to his seat.

No idea what just happened.

Break time

500 runners with 20 mins left to enter.

460 remain.

Blinds about to go 250/500

40 in the 4pm flight. Open to 8:40.

130k short as it stands.

[Tal]

Before that, there were two more hands from table 31 to share with you.

Firstly, button in seat 4.

Leo makes it 900. Button and blinds call.

 

Leo Cbets 1,900, which is called by Jeff in 4.

 

4,300 is called.

 

Check check.

Leo's AJ wins.

Last hand, then. Button in seat 5 and it is 5, Lauren Render, who makes it 1,000 to go. They're her skittles, I apologise.

The blinds both call.

 

Anyone fancy taking a stab? For the fans? No?

Chris Jones in seat 7 steps up like a hero. 1,200. Render calls

Jones T6 beaten by Render's QJ.



Right then, Fun4Fraser and Doobs have arrived. Bants...

How much room is there for day 1q please?

[Tal]

Maria "Chili" Demetriou has been over to inform me she's on 70,000, with the average 55,187.

I don't have a camera to hand, but Google Images offers up this utter gem:



Kanye 2007 anyone?

Always room for you, Ralph.

Mr Trumper says there are tables available. Come along.

[Chili]

Lol thanks Tal. I bought those from a newsagents in Vegas for fun. Couldn't see a thing out of them but I think they improved my poker.

The £1,000,000 guaranteed UKPC had 500 players in flight 1, I have had to cancel the 8 Max as all 56 tables are in use for both flights .. The 4pm flight already has 54 players .. At 6pm you could buy in for 250BB ... so plenty of play ... even level 6 is still 100BB .. We will open tables for cash games as they become available
