We know that this isn't exactly standard procedure, but we're going to try to bring something extra to an event that, any minute now, will be broadcast live on TV. I'm curious about the format in general - for example, do they have hours of fascinating interview footage on hand in case there is a 6-way all-in first hand? Will they make the blinds stupid if they go on for five hours? How long is the hole card cam delay?
But we'll see, we'll see.
Snoops and I are on a very comfy sofa in the hall in front of a nice flatscreen telly showing Skysports. Nice.

Ah yes, of course at least a small part of my concentration will be held by the determination to play like the rockiest rock ever to preserve the precious blondepoker tournament bounty I heard about today... It's both an honour and a responsibility.
The TV has yet to tell us anything poker related, but as soon as possibly you'll be in the loop. If you can watch it, well, you might just get some amazingly iinsightful commentary from snoops and myself...

The speedway is over running on Sky at the minute (Coventry v Wolverhampton has gone to a race off, if any of you are interested).
Does this mean they'll be holding things up in Dublin till the speedway is over?

About 20 of these big old TVs on stilts have been wheeled out all down the corridor and throughout the card room. At the moment SkySports2 seems to be showing dirt bikes of some sort, but I think the poker should be on shortly.

Thanks for doing the updates, Im at uni, and being a student dont have sky in my house! So am looking forward to reading about the hands. I spoke to Jon Wong earlier, he's excited about the game, and I think he's in for a good short, despite being just below average.

It's adverts at the moment - Wayneo I know all about not getting more than about 3 and a half channels - will hopefully be able to bring you most of the action. Good luck to Jon Wong and the other five...
Oooh, intro!

They're doing this great montage kind of thing made up from highlights from the earlier days. Snoopy's already got in the background of some of the shots!
1 Vincent Melin
2 Conor Smith
3 Jon Wong
4 Ian Woodley " a dangerous English pro"
5 Paul Daly
6 Brendan Ruane "the underdog"
They were filmed walking down the corridor in a swanky marble-coated place as they made their entrance...

Commentators Padraig Parkinson and Simon Trumper are getting comfy on their barstool type things. They could have at least given them a sofa.
