    Morning FCHD.

    Well of course that is entirely possible, but a quick scan of "FIND A PLAYER" tells us that on Sky Poker, there are no less than 160 (ONE HUNDRED & SIXTY) variants of the "loopy" screen name.

    Could be a very big family, I suppose, or maybe Dad was a milkman, who knows?

    Hey!!   What's this "old" business about.  If you are old what does that make me?  Remember this --- "Age" is a number and "Old" is a frame of mind!  Hope to see you and others in Nottingham.  Take care.

    Satellites & Feeders today?

    Bucket loads of them!

    There could easily be 50 or 60 runners tonight, which would mean 10 or 12 x £1,100 seats.

    The satellites for tonight's £52 Semi (7.15pm) & £240 Final (9.15pm) are up & running already, there are 4 or 5, at different costs, every hour.

    The 7.15 Semi Final (£52, but there ARE Satellites to it) has FIVE SEATS GUARANTEED to the 9.15pm Final tonight.

    With less than 2 hours to go, it has exactly EIGHT runners, & that includes You've Been Tango'd Bromley.

    Lovely story, absolutely, lovely, very well done!

    I watched the late stages, & you seemed to have it all nicely sussed, & were playing nice snug Super-Sat style poker.

    Delighted for you - see you in Nottingham!

    Yes, great effort by DD, & just ran bad at the wrong time.

    The exit - on the Bubble - was pure nasty. 10 Bigs, I8PALACE to his right, raising raising raising (correctly, with his giant stack) jams into DD, & DD snaps with 6-6, just as he should, but PALACE had the Tens, & flopped another for good measure.

    Brutal game sometimes, but DD held his own in top class company, & that should encourage him no end.

    Inevitably!

    Interesting, & unusual, performance by you last night Tommy. You semed to be hanging tough all night, just about surviving, always at the rear of the field, but you just hung & hung. With 14 left, & rock bottom, you got that 2xUP, & from there they were never going to stop you. More tenacity & perseverance than 'Spurs, you. 

    See you in Nottingham.

    Good to see SNEDDY get his seat, too, he was well-placed all evening, & just did his thing. He is not a young man, but he gets the job done.

    So, after just 5 days (Satellites began on Wednesday IIRC) ELEVEN players have bagged a seat to the event which is still over 3 months away.

    Congrats to every one of them.

    Quick question Tikay, I note that if u qualify via a Sky satellite u are automatically entered into Day 1A. Is that set in stone, or can u change it to Day 1B??
