Morning all, & thank you for the virtual mini-rail, & to FCHD for today's table Draw. The guy to my immediate left today, Robert Price, is a "poker friend" of many years standing. Without exaggaration, we must have shared tables in a dozen or more 12 PLO8 Tournaments in Vegas last year & this, he & I both play the Vegas PLO8 "mini-circuit" which consists of a really odd bunch of misfits & eccentrics. He is VERY aggro, sometimes overly so. I don't actually recall sharing a Final Table with him though. He also went deep in the WSOP $1,500 PLO8 in which I cashed last year. There is a photo of him in ony of my Vegas Blogs LAST year, he was wearing an England shirt, whilst we were playing PLO8 @ Binions or wherever, & simultaneously watching England on the plasma screen during the World Cup, or Euro12, or whatever it was. He will be a right pain to me today, as he has position, is seriously aggro, & has a VERY wide & creative range, & is not afraid to make very thin calls. Part of me wishes him well today, he is a lovely fella, & part of me wishes he implodes by being over aggressive, as he usually does. I'm sure you can understand my mixed feelings. He is from Cornwall, & so has hundreds of cousins & nieces, if you get my drift. Posted by Tikay10
GL Tikay How does he manage his cards/chips with so many thumbs? ;-)
All in jest of course, & Robert would expect nothing less, we have fantastic banter at the Tables, & I like him very much. Still, he is from Cornwall......
There IS another Sky Poker regular still in this, too, one "doobs".
He is a good close friend of mine in another life, so to speak.
He showed great faith & optimism in me last year by insisting on buying 20% of my action in the 2012 WSOP PLO8, an investment which paid off surprisingly but handsomely for him.
He has shown similar faith this year & has 10% of my action in this.
As it happen, I have, I think (can't recall the exact numbers) 12.5% of his action in this event, so I would LOVE him to have a deep run!
He has 29,300 chips, & he knows EXACTLY how to use them, being one of the most intelligent poker players I have ever met. He is, by profession, an Actuary.
This guy has a REAL chance in this today, he really has. Good luck doobsy.
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Tikay just got a nice double up vs the tournament chip leader. No idea how the betting went but I imagine it was in pretty quicksmart.
Our man had the lovely Ad As 4s2c against Tedeschi's Ac Kc 10s 2d
Flop of 7s Qs 10d so now having to dodge a non spade 10/J/K to avoid going behind. The 8s gives the nut flush and now just needing to dodge all sixes, fives, fours and threes to avoid chopping a low pot (and therefore a quarter of total pot), a mericifull Qh comes and thats how you double up, well done mr kendall
Was on 38k after that, still a while until the cash spots, 45 cash, 108 left, very approx 37th place for the great great godfather of sky poker

Best of luck today Tony, will be following the updates as long as I can.
Many thanks to FCHD for the awesome effort put into this thread, keeping us in the loop.
