I was with him yesterday, & somehow the convo turned to today's renewal of the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.
"Barney Roy to win the Eclipse, Neil?"
"Not for me Tony, I think Ulysses will just edge it".
I was unable to bet as I cannot access my UK betting accounts from here, so I was half-pleased & half-mortified to read today that Ulysses won it - by a nose from Barney Roy.
90 minute dinner break is an hour away, so I'm gonna go get some eats before it gets too busy, and an hour's kip, then I'll be back & we'll go through until the end of play, which will be around 8am UK time. If you want to request any photos or chip counts, post them up & I'll do what I can, assuming I can find the player. Posted by Tikay10
Good Morning
May I request a photo of your attire please, I would like to have an idea of what to wear on the plane so I fit in with the locals on arrival.
Great updates thank you.
Is Pomffrites flying from Gateick?
Those numbers could be types of aeroplane
Have a great day,see you at the welcome party I hope.
The two scruffy sorts are Sam, who is, effectively, Head of Poker (white plimsolls) & Mark, the Marketing Guru, the chap who was recently accused of "not giving any thought" to the Sky Poker Promos, in the red plimsolls.

I don't know where Uncle Pommy is flying from, sorry.
And yes, those numbers - 737, 747, 757, 767, 777 & 787 were all Boeing Aircraft Models.
I do hope you & dearest Mrs Tom have a comfortable and relaxing flight.
An hour of play remains, but my fuel gauge is on red, so with no Sky Poker players playing today - but at least 4 tomorrow - I'm gonna draw stumps for the night, so that I have enough energy for tomorrow's 15 hour stint.
Hope you have mildly enjoyed some of todays irreverent waffle.
I don't know why I do this to myself...it so makes me want to do it again! If you push yourself too hard, you will have to face the wrath of Kelly so please be sensible. Great reports as ever. Nice to see that your clothes match your eyes as I am sure that they must be one of those colours....
Phew, there you are Mr K, I've been away for 2 weeks (got back last Monday) and immediately began searching the forum for you, but could find no blogs, nothing but here you are now and all is well.
Sounds as though you are having a fantastic time and I have to admit I am a little jealous, so perhaps to cheer me up you could post lovely pictures of handsome poker players, you know the one in particular, that extremely gorgeous looking young man from...where is it now...Bury, Blackburn, Bolton....no no he's from ROCHDALE

Good morning Tikay,
Enjoying the updates,
Have you tried accessing your betting accounts through the browser?
I have always been able to access mine from Vegas, but seem to remember the apps don't work.
Failing that, maybe turn you location settings off. There is definitely a way,
In Response to Re: WSOP Main Event, Day 1A : I agree - I think the number is higher now. It was 737, then 747, maybe 757, 767, 777, or even 787. What links all those numbers? Posted by Tikay10
Having just returned from Vegas on a 747, and last months trip was on a 787 and a 737, I would say Boeing

In Vicky Coren's superbly written "For Richer or Poorer" she describes how she played at the Final Table of the EPT London, which she of course won.
On the rail were many of her closest friends & mentors, including, of course, Neil Channing, all of whom were rooting for Vicky every inch of the way.
At one point, Vicky used some (perfectly acceptable) table chat, to help get her hand through.
Vicky wrote;
"Neil "Bad Beat" Channing called me over & said I talk too much".
He's got some once a week, that Ambo.

Attire, as requested by Tom.

As level 4 ends, leaving 1 level remaining today;
Sam Grafton - 180,000
Barny Boatman - 190,000
Patrick Leonard - 77,000
Matt Ashton - 77,000
Mark Telscher's sister - 50,000
Steve Warburton - 28,000
Rumours circulating to the effect that there were 795 entrants today.
If true, that'd be the biggest Day 1a for the Main for some years.
Just setting off now on the trek to join you all.
Cya on the other side.
NO MORE SLEEPS
See you tomorrow or Monday.
The mind is willing, but the flesh is weak.....

Night all.
