Nice to see a good representation of Sky Players.
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted that @NChanning @Sky__James & @Tikay10 are conspicuous by their absence.
I can't speak for Neil or James, but I had one of those days.
Could not make anything happen, self-confidence evaporated & I allowed myself to get pushed around too easily.
Adam Bromley & I clashed in a hand - good friends always do - after I opened with A-Q suited & he smooth called behind me. The board ran out (something like) A-7-6-4-2 or similar, Adam check-called my bets every street until the river when, with around 8,000 in the pot, he set me all-in for around 20,000. eeek. I gave it considerable thought, worked it all out methodically & logically, & eventually came to the decision that he was clearly at it & I was miles ahead. I mean, he HAS to be at-it here.
So I folded.
And spent the rest of the day kicking myself for being so weak.
Bullet 1 died in spectacular fashion when I got my 13BB in pre with the quite pretty Kh-Qh & I was pleased to get a call from the SB - I NEED a call here. I was not so pleased when the BB called too. I was in shocking shape, double dominated (they had A-Q & A-K) & there was no miracle.
Bullet 2 was more of the same really. Lost 20% of my stack very first hand only to be shown a pure bluff & was soon on the back foot again.
A little hot spell followed & I got up to 45,000 with two 2XUps, one of which was a bit lucky, but then the wheels came off again & I was soon down to 12 BB. There was an open from a lad who was, shall we say, "a bit splashy" & I jammed with Ad-Jd, he called quickly with 9-9. Never even got a sweat, the door card was a 9 & that was that.
one of those days...
I did meet, & had a long chat with, @daggers747
What a great bloke he is. Really top guy.
Thanks for the update Tony.....
GOOD LUCK for today ........I'm sure you will run much better
and GOOD LUCK to all the SKY Players too

Play resumes at 1pm.
The Mystery Bounties immediately come into play;
"Bounty prizes come into play at the start of day 2. e.g if 54 players make it though to day 2 there will be 54 bounty prizes. When you knock a player out on day 2 you will pick a prize at random. These prizes will be of varying amounts depending on the prize pool with a top prize of £10,000"
Once I become available we'll try & get a bit of a Live Update going with a few photos plus a list of who wins the bounties, especially that £10,000 one.
At present, I do not know the Prize Pool payouts or how many players will be paid. I'll try to let you know as soon as I'm able.
With just 42 returnees, & some big bounties on offer which I assume will speed things up, we might just get an earlier finish than usual.
What a great evening I managed to last to level 10 and have the privilege to sit
next to Mr Channing. Great company and some great stories.
If you have never been to a sky event start saving your pennies make the effort to go.
So friendly and great fun.
Big up to Tikay and everyone who ran the event.
Daggers
A very belated good afternoon, apologies for the delay. My attendance in the Tournament is no longer required, so it's time I did some work after almost 3 days sciving.
The timing is quite good actually, as I set up my laptop I heard the refrain "FINAL TABLE".
So give me 10 minutes to get myself set up, then, all being well I'll get the chip counts, seat draw & names, plus maybe a 'photo of 9 smiling faces.
A few familiar names there, including one chap who has SIX already, including the £10,000 one.
Final Table Chip Counts;
Seat 1 Dan Jackson 893,000
Seat 2 Yuet To Wong 532,000
Seat 3 Paul Campbell (bigfatfish)633,000
Seat 5 Angela Houghton 254,000
Seat 6 Ben Teague 678,000
Seat 7 Chris Cuncliffe (rspca12) 551,000
Seat 8 Adam Bromley 28,000Seat 9 Paul Kimmer 293,000
A little dark, but it'll have to do...
Missed the action, but Adam Bromley threw his 28,000 in & has exited early doors.
9th Adam Bromley £750 (+ £900 in Bounties)
I gather Paul Campbell bust Adam & was rewarded with a handful of chips & a £250 Bounty.
