    Is it just me or are these just random names? Any sky poker ids to be attached to these names? I imagine its too much hassle so no worries if you cant. Cheers Ger

    I'm afriad I can't attach Sky Poker aliases Ger, that's a bit awkward except when they are already known, for DPA reasons.

    There are not many regular Sky Poker players "community" in the High Roller either, other than guys like Graham Carter )obv, & a few others, I need to do a full table walk to find them all. 

    Alex Goulder, Chris Brammer, Tom Middleton etc are all serious names these days with mega winnings, & all play the bigger events - Super Roller, UKOPS etc - on Sky Poker, but we can't divulge their aliases, mainly because a) It's not allowed & b) I don't know them......

    just a note for this weekend

    we'll put as few of the widely known sky aliases up for the main event but mainly it will be real names. this is a live event in a casino, the system we work off won't know the sky names and we'll know some to cross-reference but not all

    for this high-roller i'd guess some will play on sky, some will play on sky occasionally and some will never have played on sky (yet!). much  the same as the UKPC Main really....

    46 entries now, & we are not at the end of Level 2 yet.

    No re-entries so far, players can re-enter this once per day, & late entry extends until the 2nd level tomorrow.

    Think we can assume that £100,000 Guarantee is gonna be toast.

    I asked the question, & was met by a hail of abuse, though only when he realise it was you who had asked.

    Oh, & the answer was "no".

    I just had a good chat with a chap by the name of Anthony Gardner, very tall chap.

    Anyone know who he is?

    Clue - sportsman.

    Didn't he use to play association football as a defender for various clubs?

    I just spotted this guy playing the High Roller, & it caused me a furrowed brow & a painful memory.

    Once the field settles, & I get myself sorted - it's been a challenging day - I'll bring you some chip counts & some hands.

    no worries, thanks Tikay.

    I guess I need to expand my poker player knowledge beyond, Ivey, Negreanu and Hellmouth.

    SKY POKER ANALYST ALERT

    Stu Rutter is in the building, & with Neil Channing already playing, Sky Poker TV accounts for 4% of the field.

    I gather Ryan Spittles, aka scotty77, is en route too, but delayed by heavy traffic.

    Some fairly big hitters in that field, Ger, including Chris Brammer, Tom Middleton & Alex Goulder.

    Tom Middleton - aka "Middy" - won a millball in the EPT Barcelona a year or so ago, & bosses Online.
     
    Steve Warburton also won a milly (Euros) for 2nd place in an EPT quite recently. 

    You'll not see them boys in our £3.30 PLO8 DYM's.

    55 entrants now, so the £100,000 Guarantee is well & truly covered.

    Solid start, really surprised this has done so well. Could easily make 70 to 75 entries including re-entries.

    Sam1986 (a big spurs fan) is his biggest fan. Never seen Sam so happy when he met him at a previous UKPC!
