    Andrew sets Gareth in, bad timing as Gareth is a spot ahead, bu Mean Machine gets out Meaned as Andrew, badly dominated, rivers his out.

    So we lose Gareth I'm afraid.

    Good natured discussions seem to have arrived at £20,760 for Ambo & £21,340 for Andrew.

    They are just mulling it over but I think a deal is almost certain.

    There's also the matter of the utterly splendid top of the range corrugated iron Trophy which James purchased from Argos.

    After a ream of calculations they suddenly decide on;

    An even chop

    Andrew gets the Trophy, though he said he'd rather not.

    Andrew gets Ambo's Bounty, which is Free Entry into the £200 UKOPS HR on 29th December.

    Great read, as usual.

    Kept me awake while I'm playing a Micromillions Tourny on Stars.
    Just the 129,458 entries....still 345 left...

    Well played, all.

    I enjoyed my time at the event there were some great players out there and well played all. But have a winge and probably not going to be popular oooo😂Put in a lot of hours graft to get my seat for the event travelled up. But wasn't impressed with sky staff/ambassadors getting multiple free day1 bullets. My bust out was a complete punt and very likely wouldn't be played this way as they had already got a stack through day1a allowing them a free day1b do whatever they want I.e donking 3.5x pot with up n down straight draw on wrong end on flop being way behind and getting there. Wouldn't have been only player susceptible to this kind of play. Ambassadors are taking a lot of money and regs out the prizepool who are paying and being able to play with much bigger edges for free. I think the ambassadors are great and enjoy playing with them but in fairness I think there head should to be the value of the event and they should have 1 bullet each.

    Surely the more non-professional players in the field, the better for everyone involved? Especially when each bullet they fire adds £220 extra value. Their entry fee adds the same £500 to the prizepool that your entry fee does.

    You can fire multiple bullets on day 1 if you play Day 1a and finish with a stack you can play Day1b to try and get a bigger stack. You are allowed one re entry per day so you can play Day 1 4 times. Don’t think it is any different for Sky staff or ambassadors

    Hi @hazelwoo05

    I'm in a bit of rush to catch my train, but I'll reply later today.

    And please don't think that you'll be unpopular for voicing an opinion, it's fine.

    Chat later.
