Hey guys. Just about come down from a draining day! Qualifed through a quarter final during the week and have slogged it out from 4pm today. Was chip leader pretty much throughout the final and was delighted how I played. Wasnt meant to be at the end sadly. It may be a blessing in disguise as I have a 5 month old son and leaving him behind for 2 weeks wouldn't have been easy! Congratulations to everyone who has qualified for Vegas! Hope to see you all over there next year maybe!

Hi Darren,
It was a great experience, you played very well, your aggression was difficult to read at times, and it was no surprize it came down to a coin flip, and I'm sure you can do it next year. Will try to do The Sky poker community proud, and at least get to the first break(lol) in Vegas.
Love the community aspect @ sky. I have sat up all night railing the viva las vegas and it is amazing to see such great players battle for the 10k package. Congrats to you kidgirlgy, it was a great tourni to watch.
Good luck to all the team going to Vegas. I have just got back and for those that love poker it is AMAZING.
I've just finished watching my Sky+ recording of last nights show, it was very tense stuff, thrilling to watch, I had to avoid the forum until now in case I saw a spoiler.
Massive congratulations to Sue for taking on and beating such a strong field. 2010 is becoming a great year for female poker players, I'm sure you'll have a brilliant time in Vegas.
Wishing the very best of luck to all 6 Sky player who'll be jetting off to Vegas, I'm really looking to following your progress via this forum, Tikay's tweets and ch 865.

Congratulations Sue!
Can you check your Sky Poker PM's please - I need to talk to you as soon as possible, & I have sent you my contact details.
Thanks.
PS - See you at McCarron Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada County, on the afternoon of July 2nd! Oh, & a word of warning - it will be blisteringly hot out there.
The full result of the Viva Las Vegas Final last night was as follows. Spectacular stuff it was too. Will Brewin made a real hero-call for his Tourney life at one stage, but then got busted in a real purler, when he went for it with A-Q v Q-J - & the flop came A-K-10!
But the structure was splendid, & there can be no arguing with the result, so well done all, but especially Sue, aka "kidgirlgy".
Big up, too, to FERGIE, who led for so long, only to be thwarted, but accepted his defeat with tremendous grace & dignity.
Well done Sue! Wp! especially the turn lead out with that flush...couldn't put you on it!..Ul and wp to Fergie and Swordsy too...so relentless from the small blind!
Anyway, good luck to all the winners in Vegas...hopefully will bump into you lot over there (off in 10 days!), if your lucky you can have a look at my new bracelet
I think Direwolf deserves the praise of all us sky poker players.....if £9000 had dropped into my account it would be a lot harder for me to cash it in for a trip to vegas than if i'd won a seat to Vegas without the cash option.
Still on cloud 9, and it still hasn't sunk in - how can I be going to play in the main event? I'm just an enthusiastic amateur who's still learning. I'm in my second flush of youth, so I'm going out there to have a great time and will take it a day at a time.
Nervous? you bet, but I could never believe in my wildest dreams that I would ever sit down with the poker greats, or even an A list celeb, but Sky Poker has made that dream come true, where else could you get passed less than 100 great players and be on a plane to Vegas; It's mad, but bring it on!!
Thanks for all your good wishes, and sorry to the guys that didn't quite make it, and remember if a girl like me can do it - anyone can; keep believing.
Wiiiiiiiii very well done Sue! Commiserations to the others, it was fantastic to rail too.
I'm sure that Sue and everyone going will have a tremendous time and I wish you all the very best of luck, live your dream peeps, soak it all up and enjoy!
I'm really looking forward to hearing all about it and it's fabulous to see some of you going that like me, will not see their erm 20's,30's or even 40's again :-D
