We've got another five hours of Hold'em shenanigans lined up for you - starting at 7pm on channel 861, and 10pm on Sky Sports 4...

7pm - Highlights from the final table of last Sunday's £10k Primo
8pm - The Poker Clinic (please send in Hand IDs and questions)
9pm - Live action from the Master Cash tables
10pm - Top of the Pots
11pm - Real-time hands from the £12k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter

It's actually a big night for Sky Poker, as we formally welcome Joe Stapleton to our stable of analysts!



A hairy American, yesterday


Got a question for Stapes about poker, comedy or dating? Well, now's your chance to ask him anything you want (within reason), as we present...


Wha'd'ya know, Joe?


This feature is a bit like the (now legendary) 'Ask Tikay' forum thread. Only you get the answers on TV, rather than on the forum. And you're putting questions to Stapes, instead of tikay.

Plus, there are prizes to be won. We'll be giving away four seats in Sunday's Mini Primo, as we play four rounds of...


Twivial Pursuit


Unfamiliar with this game? Well, all will be explained when we go live at 7pm.

    Going to sound very rear end kissy, but love the Hartigan and Stapes commentary combo. 


    Since James mentioned comedy I'm going to take a punt on this, Joe what is your personal opinion. Is British comedy or American comedy better? And why? (looking more for stand-up based responce)

    Fantastic on the sky poker cash game aswell with the old "Sams gonna have all the chips soon and its not even a sit n go" and "norman is as tight as a Man Utd players shorts in the ninetys" lines.

    A big welcome to Joe Stableton! He is ok in my book so best of luck in your new role. Not that you will need it mind, as you have one of the finest presenters there has ever been on Sky Poker there to help you along. Yes, James Browning is defo one of the best!

    A couple of quick fire questions for Joe....

    1) Will you be going to any of the SPT's this season?
    2) Can you actually play poker or do you just talk a good game?
    3) If you could chose 3 women to take on a desert island, who would it be and why?
    4) Did you enjoy the Brit pack antics at last year's WSOP?
    5) Who is going win this week's Gold Cup?

    Have a good show guys!

    wow so happy Stapes is a "proper" analyst :) tho surely he is only applicable to some of the shows as he cant be trusted with sarah or anna or jules ........ hmmm never thought there would be anyone less trustworthy than carlo with the ladies

    only question i can think of is have you stopped laughing from the ernest wiggins vs phil hellmuth double outdraw? (i remember when u 1st came on the show we were years behind and only just watching that bit) and in the same light has there been anymore seasons of the big game and will we ever get them shown over here i wonder?

    have a good show guys

    ps - nobody mention the hartlepool monkey sailor

    might have to watch both!

    Have a good show guys, and welcome Stapes

    Question for Stapes

    If you could be as gifted at poker as just one professional player, who would it be, and why?

    Another question for Stapes

    Does he play on Sky Poker?

    If so, what levels/games. If not, will he open an account and play in the future?

    Looks like Stapes has come dressed as the monkey!  Just needs a sailors hat!

    What did Stapes think of Nani's sending off at old trafford on Tuesday?  Personally I couldn't stop laughing after all the dodgy refs decisions they have had over the years it's about time they had one come back and bite them!

    run well all and have fun

    fair play stapes i kinda felt bad for phil too i just thought it was such an epic hand cos of the format and how much we were rooting for the amateur anyway

    heres a better question - your thoughts (james too) on the selbst macphee 44 vs a9 hand, my opinion is pretty simple, it takes two to get into a levelling war, what do you guys think?
