In Response to Re: The Road To Punta Cana : Have to say, Don, Sky Poker have done the players proud, what with Punta Cana & Viva Las Vegas, think about 56 packages have been won this year. This place is amazingly good, & for Viva Las Vegas, the players stayed at the luxurious Venetian. Posted by Tikay10
100% agree - never hid my attempts for viva Las Vegas package always looked amazing just gutted I never won one. Hope it returns soon(or hope I haven't missed a memo saying it is) - punta Cana I can't comment much on this thread looks amazing but due to some seats being won via rake races I decided not to look more into it based on my own principles - I've never mentioned that because i also respect the business decision on them.
Hope everyone enjoys their dinner and runs golden afterwards
Just managed to locate CxE1, aka Vinny - he got torpedoed earlier with his K-K v A-J, but has steadied the ship now & is sailing along nicely with 16,000.
Big hand for CELTICFAN. J 9 6 4 Our guy is holding JQ, and gets it in on the turn. Villain calls with 78, meaning we need only need to avoid a 5 or 10 for a double up. Posted by Sky_JP

He's now off to the Casino to play some cash, before taking another shot tomorrow.
Right...off to bed for a much needed early night. Good luck to everyone still playing and hoping to wake up tomorrow to news of big stacks going through to day 2.
Carnage out there. carnage, & we lose not one, but two players within minutes.
CxE1 departed, he lost a bunch early when his Kings got busted, & it was always uphill after that. He'll be fine, he has his young daughter with him, so he'll be able to chill with her for the next few days.
Than radiofed28 - yes, named after Radiohead, & he's a bit of a Jonny Greenwood lookalike - also departed, blind on blind.
In case you are not up with the music scene, here's Jonny Greenwood, who really strutted his stuff in Creep.
On a lighter note, we're going in to the final level of the day, with 3/7 Sky Poker players remaining.
Alvez11 - Down to 55k but still 5k above average. Nothing terrible has happened, but nor has anything good.
StayOrGo - It's really picking up for Graham after a bit of a slow start. Raises from the Cut-Off. Button calls. BB shoves. Graham calls and the button passes. "It's a flip". JJ holds against AK, to double Graham up. Now sat with 55k.
GGGGCCCC - I arrive at the table to see GGGGCCCC 3 Bet to around 20k. That's 20 BBs, which seems like quite a big raise. One caller.
Flop: 6 3 2 Rainbow.
GGGGCCCC - All In.
Villain - Call.
GGGGCCCC - AA
Villain - JJ
T - 5
R - 10
Another double up for a Sky Player, and the first of ours to break the 100k mark.
StayOrGo - Lost two big hands in the last 10 minutes, both to the same guy, who is now sat with 150k. Down to around 18k, and is in need of a double up tonight.
GGGGCCCC - Added another 50k to his 100k stack. Very comfortable and crushing the table.
Alvez11 - No ups or downs here. Still sat with 55k, which is now average.

It seems we missed another player today - CxE1.
You must wonder how we miss these guys......so do we. It's just not that easy to find everyone.
I just bumped into IH8Palace in the corridor, so that's another we can tick off as present & correct.
