Afternoon!
Welcome to your show thread for tonight's live 5 hour broadcast. We start at 7 on Ch. 861 and keep going till it's Monday.
Your hosts?
Me- Richard Orford...
and him- James Hartigan...
At 7 we'll have an hour of live Mastercash and maybe a phone call from Tikay over in Vegas. (Please don't let that put you off, it still should be a good show).
Then from 8 till 12 it's dedicated coverage of The Primo. And rumour has it that for part of it, James and I will swap roles and I'll be the expert. Watch this space for more on this horrific story as it breaks...
Now, here on the show, we thrive on your input. It's not half as fun without your messages- so please keep all your regular stuff coming in, whether it be a question, a main event, mini event or Mastercash hand request or a funny or interesting poker or non-poker message.
Our side topic tonight-
Tikay's odds for the WSOP have been quoted by Sky Bet here.
Suggest some more poker odds/prices!
They might be your serious suggestions or simply humorous.
They can be WSOP related, Sky Poker related, poker related or non-poker related, maybe just topical or funny. Whatever floats your boat.
E.g.
Julian Thew hitting a one-outer to stay in the main event 5-1
Tikay to be voted worst dressed man in Vegas 3-1
Ryan to win a bracelet 400-1
Any Sky Poker player to have a shotgun Church of ELvis wedding whilst in Vegas 25-1
You get the idea...
Stick everything either on here, via email skyopen@bskyb.com, or tweet it to #skypokertv
And see you tonight at 7!
Comments
Those odds on Thewy are way too long! Tenner on that please!
Odds on 861 to start projecting adds on Richards forehead 10:1
Cards go in the air at 1pm Las Vegas time tonight, which I believe is 9pm BST.
The Brits haven't had a great series so far this summer, hopefully Scott77 can change this around!
Oh and as for odds
"Orford straight" to be inlcuded in the official rank of poker hands anytime soon - 5000-1
I am playing Downtown @ Binions @ Noon today, but if Ryan goes very deep in this, & is still in, I'll come bck to the Rio later & do a Live Update for the folks at home.
I'm glad you included recent pictures of yourself & hartigan, although hartigans hasn't changed much over the years and you still have the same expression after winning with 72 off Rich.
Poker Odds - I will be playing the Primo & the mini primo Tonight.............
What odds will you give me to cash in both?
I will be watching all night from 7pm until midnight - and am going to donate in the cash, main, mini and CJ tournament. lol
Should be a cracker and looking forward to the show - just not sure who the "expert" is.. lol
Poker Odds:
POKEY2011 aka Chris Jones to not have an alcoholic drink during an SPT weekend : 1,000,000,000 / 1
TIKAY to not mention while at the tables anything to do with cement, tarmac, trains, bridges, aircraft etc.... 1,000,000,000 / 1
On a serious note - good luck to all in Vegas and hope that a few cashes and a bracelet are brought back - would have loved to be their myself had I used a condom 4 years ago lol - will definitely go in the next 50 years.
Lol

Have a great show
Keeping myself cool, as much as I am able.
Knowing when to call and knowing when to fold.
Knowing when to raise because I’m feeling bold.
Picking up my hole cards and waiting for the flop,
Full House, aces high – now’s not the time to stop!
Wow! I’ve got another ace, no bluffing needed here,
No need to fold, nothing at all to fear.
Perfection is four aces and I’m going to win this pot.
I think I like playing poker, I like it quite a lot.
I like piling up my poker chips and making my oppos shake.
The best is winning when I’ve nothing and knowing I have to fake.
