There was a 10 seat guaranteed Semi-Final last night, a whopping 83 played & it made 16 seats and change. Same again today, but note today's Semi Final is at 4pm.
Thank god you said this, assumed my chances of satting in were over - hopefully can run better today and save £240 quid. Cheers for the info much appreciated.
Really looking forward to tonights game - hopefully the chat boxes might be busy aswell unless people are too busy concentrating of course!!
Are we running any kind of sweepstakes or anything Mr @Tikay10 - e.g. guess the closing number of entrants (either including or excluding multiple buyins) etc or the FT players?
I've gone early with this already (see above) @IrishRose . @Tikay10 thinks I'm mad but I have predicted a massive 685 (including rebuys) for a total £137,000 pot.
Ohhhhhhh - that is a tad ambitious (but would be great if it happened!!). I've go with a slightly lower guess of 619 including rebuys (so 15,475,000 chips in play?)

Skys poker ambassador, David Mitchels wife and an extra from the Sweeney.
So far that chap has been called a 70's **** star, a serial killer, a once only killer & now an extra from Sweeney. He does seem to be attracting attention.
The 4pm Semi Final attracted 79 runners - that's another 15 seats & change which will be generated.
There are also two more Late Reg Semis to come - one at 5.30pm & one at 7pm. With the super slow structure, those in the Late Reg Semis will still come in to the SPT with zillions of blinds.
Some good replies to the original photo questions & Caption Comp. Keep them coming please, we are gradually filling in the blanks on that.
And now, random photo & question # 2.
I saw this photo of a Sunday Dinner on the excellent RateMtPlate Twitter feed.
Marks out of 10 please, any comments as you see fit.
Where's the gravy?

That must be a strong black coffee in that jug...;)
Ha ha - reminiscent of that Only Fools and Horses sketch in their “last” episode in 1996 - I say last as they came back with more specials in 2000’s but for me the classic ending was when they finally became rich...speaking of which gl gl all later
I'm not actually sure but I think the picture was taken in 2007. We were about to film a TV poker show called Bar Beat to be shown on The Poker Channel.

Yes, that's been assumed.

Pea 1 and 2 ok, pea 3 a little deflated.

Plenty of satellites this afternoon, & I expect the Semi Final to have a bumper field.
Loving the feedback on the photos.
Good to see we have established that there was not a serial killer involved, as Mr Channing has rightly pointed out.
More weird stuff later.
For now, I'm off to the gym for a couple of hours, & then we'll resume upon my return all the way through to close of play.

RATE MY POO, as nobody should have gravy on the side of undercooked frozen food.
Yorkshire puddings are served as a starter with onion gravy.............ohooooo Gravy!
Victoria looks as though she's still smiling from her 2006 EPT win in London.
I have just one "run like a poker god" in the SPT and that goes to Gorden AKA Dollie, he deserves a deep run.
