"Hi All please remember Day 1c of the £500,000 guaranteed £1000 Sky Main Event is a Freezeout so if you want to try twice you need to play tomorrow as can only re enter following day, it will also help us out if you can play tomorrow as we expect to be full on Thursday so you will avoid being an alternate."
day 2 of the PLO at 1pm
and the final 10 seat GTD Mega sat into the Main event at 8pm tonight. £50 rebuy
Good to see the PLO numbers got up in the end. I expect 96 isn't too bad of a result for Rob and Simon after what could of been a bit of a red faced moment.
I do like PLO, but only played it live once, so no way was I going to buy in for a £500 event. Satellites in the future would be good.

Hi Charles,
Yes, a shame it fell so tantalisingly close to the Guarantee, but even so, 96 Entries for a £500 PLO is a staggering achievement. Not sure there has ever been a field that size in the UK for a PLO, I certainly can't recall one.
I played it, & loved every moment, but variance caught up with me.
The Chip Leader is a lovely guy, I've nicknamed him "The Mad Norweigan". Never played PLO before, but he was busting folks left right & centre.
He raised every single hand. In one memorable hand he busted THREE players.
He had opened UTG to 7,000 with the spannerish & 4 suited K-K-7-4. It then went POT, REPOT all-in, call-all in.
Back to Norway. He has 7,000 invested, & it is something like 85,000 to call!
He calls, obv, & the flop came K-7-4, Turn 4, ship the lot. Incred stuff.
At the age of 16 Cheltenham's Dan Carter wanted to be a Professional Golf Coach. By the age of 18 he was a fully sponsored Poker Professional
His biggest live cash to date is his 2nd place in the World Heads Up in Barcelona for over $80,000. On the live circuit only since 2005 he has a $40,000 cash at EPT Dortmund, a win at the Luton Christmas Cracker Pot limit event and a number of other final tables to his name
Online Dan won a Poker Stars $500k gtd for over $100,000.
Recently he had a spell living in the Netherlands, still grinds online for a living and plays golf off scratch (if i recall correctly)
Ryan Spittles made millions breeding racing pigeons and at his home in Buckinghamshire he spends his spare time nursing injured pigeons back to racing health
This, of course, is when he is not grinding online, playing live or appearing as an analyst on your telly box
Recently Ryan diversified his birds business into selling budgerigars and parrots to pet shops, and from there onto consumers. His contract with Pets at Home is so large that it is reputed he will be in the Sunday times rich list at the end of the year
Ryan lives alone. Smething to do with 37 bird cages in his bathroom

Nick is a studied and proficient cash and tournament player with an enviable temperament. You will never see him tilt
Nick's big result was at the ISPT at Wembley stadium last year 3rd for € 254,000!
