Primo with the Big Boys, Rich and Ed

Richard and Ed are at the helm this evening as all you value hunters look to take down the title of Primo Champion! They each have one TOT entry to give away to next Friday's tournament.

This evening we have 2 phone calls with Tikay - so if you have any messages that you want to pass on - get posting.

We also have a live cash section in this evenings show - so if there is an exciting table that we simply must watch let us know!

Now last week I promised 1 free entry to TOT for the person who emailed in the number closest to, but without going over, the number of entrants to this years Main Event.

There were 7319 entrants this year, second only to that of 2006.

Now, 35suited emailed in his answer of 7,102 runners - which quite frankly is not a bad effort! So he takes the prize and will be playing in next Friday's TOT.

However, one person did manage to guess 7129, but instead of emailing, posted their answer on the forum....

The answer is pretty exceptional - so I will give 1 of this week's TOT entries to that person, Emilyegg. But EVERYONE take note..... In future, if you don't follow the rules - you don't win!

Congrats to both of you - i hope you take it down!

    Afternoon everyone!

    Looking forward to tonight's show with Mr Giddins and two live phone chats with Mr Kendall.

    Hopefully we'll get a decent field despite the exceptionally good weather right now and the World Cup Final being on!

    Please keep the messages coming in via this thread or email skyopen@bskyb.com

    I'm going to reserve my prize of free-entry to this Friday's Take On Tikay MTT to the message I like best. So plenty of motivation to get tapping on that keyboard!

    Good luck if you're playing tonight and hopefully see you on the tables later!

    OK- here's a question to get things going-

    You're playing at next year's WSOP Main Event- and I can tell you right now you're going to exit before the cash spots.

    OK, so knowing you're not going to cash and that at some stage you're going to exit the event...

    HOW would you like to exit the tournament?

    Bad beat? In a tussle with Phil Helmuth? In the world's weirdest hand that people talk about for years to come? (which would be?) etc etc

    :)

    Very unlikely Rich.......you don't normally last that long lol. And ED Who?

    Anyway.....you will have plenty of time to talk to Tikay after you get knocked out so, can you wish him and the other sky pokers players all the best in Vegas.

    Ask him....What is the most famous train in America? and do they have a train which has a casino or poker room?

    Alien abduction. I've always wanted to be abducted by aliens, and with the WSOP being held in Nevada I reckon I've the best chance

    I'd probably want to exit in a similar fashion to a guy in last year's Main Event - quad aces to a Royal Flush!

    If ur gonna go out, you may as well go out in style!

    PS I win £200 if Holland win tonight after backing them for £20 at 9/1 with skybet at the start of the tourney.  Here's hoping......................... :)

    Hi Rich & Ed,

    Good luck with the show.

    Hate to be pragmatic, but if you're telling me that I'm definitely not going to cash, I'd rather go out with junk in the first level and then enter another tournament in which I presumably might be able to cash?!

    PS How do you know I'm not going to cash? Have you consulted Paul the octopus? ;-)

    Alternatively I'd get it all in with a set versus Hellmuth only for him to hit runner runner quads - I would then stand up and diss him completely by saying  "Humph, these unknown internet players, they can't even spell poker!"

    Hey Boys, looking forward to the show tonight!

    I want to go out on the bubble against Mike 'the mouth' Matasou's 34 suited bb all in reraise...I would have AJ sooooooted obv...He would flop the wheel...goodnight Irene and hello double through for Mike who then goes on to vocally take the WSOP down! Helmuth would rail in a toga costume after going out in level1when his KK was busted by 22 :o)

    I REALLY need Paul the Octopus to be wrong!!!

    Hi Rich Ed

    Its the bubble, I have AA, I push, when suddenly a gorgeous woman (Read LM ;)) grabs me by the hand and leads me away and my AA gets beat by 23 off.

    I would like to known as the one that sent helmuth over the edge

    I would love to wind hellmuth up by annoying him for more than one hand with my short stack.   By going all in when he has raised with a genuine hand and out drawing him every time.  Only to have the tables turned when i have annoyed him and put him on tilt he plays a terrible hand against my aces and wins then i could moan at him. tina
