Congrats to last nights winners, just watching 2009 event on 865, whats happened to Will Brewin is he still active on here? Posted by Lightwood
He is taking a break from Online Poker at present, & playing Live Cash Games in London, but I spoke to him a week or two back, he's fine, & in fact he was back on Sky Poker last week.
Big congratulations to LUFC1982 for coming top of such an incredibly strong field.
As I understand it he/she won all the way through from a quarter final, so has therefore won a £10K package for £13, or maybe even less if entry to the quarter-final was via a qualifier.
Thanks for the reply TK....now you put it all like that it all makes sense that a June qualifer isn't workable.
I was planning on being there for the 150, but a last minute thing has come up so not sure....still hoping to get there before registration ends tho, just hope the traffic is kind....
what a great game last nite ,congrats 2 lufc and direwolf ,vul ooooooo but wat a brave call from lufc with a 2 for your tourney life . gl in vegas lufc . enjoy your 9 grand dire fantastic. i will try again this month went out in 7th. wd both. winner56.
More sats........ more semis....... more more more!!! Let's get at least 2 packages for the next one. I'm sure a midweek semi would get more than 10 runners therefore be worth running. You could also have some £60 DON's running etc etc. What i'm saying is there are very few people on Sky that can afford the £1.1k buyin but many people who can splash £50/£100 about quite happily until they get a seat. 1 x 1in10 sat per week just isn't enough imho

Good effort last night Mr Cott.
You got knocked down, you bounced up again, you got knocked down......one more bounce back & I'm sure you would have been in the mix.
Hey-ho, hopefully you can get the job done in the May Final.
The May Final is the final Final, the April one was the penultimate one, & I'm reliably assured by an old buffer that the March Final was the antepenultimate one.
Can anyone say, are there more 'player point' satellites for the May Vegas seat .. None in the lobby and I understand there would be, maybe someones forgot ? Posted by bennydip2
Hi Benny,
Please see my reply to a similar question from scotty77, further up this page.
If I may ask, why did you "understand there would be", as it has never been suggested anywhere that it would be repeated in May? In fact, it was asked a week or so back on this Forum, & after consulting with Suit-Ville, Sky_Rich came back & said, words to the effect, "there are no current plans so to do".
Either way, I will ask the question again tomorrow morning, when the appropriate Suits are all back in harness.

I could be wrong, (but I never admit it) I thought it was announced on TV about these points could be used in satellites for VLV just gone last night and this last one coming up !!

No, so far as I know, that is not correct I'm afraid.
But I'll ask the question again, of course.
I confess I had not previously noticed your reluctance to admit you are never wrong.
Qualifying is now under way for the third & last of this years Viva Las Vegas Finals, which will take place on May 30th.
THREE players are already in that Final, including a VLV Veteran from last year, Tony Hayes, from Swansea, aka "Haysie", who was such a top bloke for Team Sky Poker in Vegas in 2009. Tony is 72 years of age.
HAYSIE5000Jackpot885000VGOOCH5000 Daily Feeders & Quarter-Finals, & Weekly Semi-Finals, will continue all month.
The Sky Poker VLV Team so far is.....

In addition, Dan Brown will be part of Team Sky Pokeer in Vegas, as part of his Total Player prize.
The Support Crew - Attila & myself - fly out to Vegas on July 1st, to set a few things up, & the plan is for the players to fly out 1 day later, & we'll meet them at the Airport. The next day, we go with them to the Registration Desk to sort their Registration out for the Main Event.
Only about 6 weeks to go - can't wait. Get qualifying!
Good Morning Mr Kendall, I would like to let you know that I have just got off the phone to Sir Marmaduke Evans-Jones-Jenkins the most eminent Barrister in Wales and one of of only three people worldwide with a triple barreled name.His father represented Richard Burton for over forty years.He made the family fortune out of his divorces from Liz Taylor.So when you commenced trifling with me regarding these ageist comments,did you think I would stand for it,or merely engage a two bit, double barelled Barrister.Well think again,you can face all three of Sir Marmadukes barrels, when we see you in court.I am sure you will then regret your libellous comments,and you will pay for them.Prepare to beg for mercy.I will only admit to being seventy one and three quarters.See you in court,bring your wallet. On a more serious note I have booked to go to Vegas.It was such a great experience I wasnt going to miss it this year.I know Nutter has also booked,and Dan has qualified so it will be like old times.I have booked to play 3 tournaments,which are two of the $1500 buy ins and one of the $1,000 buy in.Been looking forward to it for ages,I am sure it will be a trip to remember. Haysie
Well get that package won man, but if you don't, you know you are welcome to run, rail & chill with Team Sky Poker in Vegas, & I hope you do, your contribution to the Team Spirit in Vegas last year was massive.
I hereby appoint you as Honorary Team Sky Poker (Welsh Department) Official Railer in Vegas.
Good luck to those who have (so far) qualified for today's VLV Semi-Final at 9pm tonight.
23 are in so far, with hourly Qualifiers all this afternoon, right up to 6.10pm, so upper twenties, maybe 30+, look likely, meaning 2 + a bunch of cash or even three go through to the Final.
Well done to Fergie, Cotty & Dr Marbles, who advanced to the VLV Final via yesterday's 34 runner Semi.
I don't know Fergie, at least I don't think I do, but the other two are well-known.
Cotty played well in the last VLV Final IIRC, going for the win from the very start, chip-getting real well, but it was not to be. He's been around for donkeys years, & has been a thoughtful, intelligent & informed Poster on the major, mainstream, Poker Forums for as long as I remember. He knows the poker industry inside out, & will be a force to reckon with in the Final.
DrMarbles I would consider to be a good & long-standing personal friend. He has a frightening IQ of stratospheric proportions, (which he demonstrated to good effect on the TV Quiz "Eggheads"), used to work for an Online Cardroom, & has donated generously to a charity cause which I am associated with. He was the inaugural APAT World Amateur H.O.R.S.E. Champion last year, triumphing heads up against a guy who finished 13th in a WSOP Razz Bracelet Event. On the downside, he has the worst clothes-sense of anyone I know, Hoggers & Dylan excepted, of course. He's the older Bro of Uzi-Lover, well known here already, too.
Anyway, well done all of them, & good luck in the Final on May 30th.
The May 30th Final will be the LAST Monthly VLV Final for Vegas 2010, so fingers crossed for all who sail in her.
