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! Posted by Sky_Ling
It's late on day 2 and Jennifer Tilly has just been moved to my left. We chat for a good half hour about her research for a role as a lifeguard and of course her five years working with St John's Ambulance.
Then horror, I get one outed on the river. This now allows me to fake a heart attack and I can lay back and enjoy a nice long CPR session from Ms Tilly. Happy days!
I'll take a massive bad beat on the cash bubble... mainly because don't they normally get free entry in to the next year? Then i'll obviosuly come back the year after and crash out in the first level lol
it would have to be AA vs KK against barry greenstien as at least i would get a signed copy of his book. which then could be flogged on ebay for a small sum.
Phil Laak knocks both me and Jennifer Tilly out at the same time With a wild 7 2 bluff, me with my kings and Jen with her Aces (Top pair without any argument) both call and he wins! In her fury she decides to get her own back and takes me back to her suite. Sorry Im getting to excited to finish this post off!
if i was going to go out...then i would like to be the only man on a table surrounded by cuticles all day and bust out on the last hand!!! boy what a day that would be!!
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 Posted by RICHORFORD
I just wrote an awesome story about how i got knocked out, then the stupid message came up telling me to register for the primo IM ALREADY REGISTERED FOR. It wouldnt go away and i couldnt get rid of it.
Not even on the almost naughty list??? wow, it must be so bad that they can't even list it!
With regards to WSOP exit, you may need a sick-bag for this one.
Like cookie83 I'd go out on the bubble (to get my free entry for the following year) but I'd like to lose a huge stack to Kara Scott who then goes on to win it.
I missed what Ed asked me about - I wasn't concentrating, sorry. ;-) If you can post it on here, I'll look into it.

HAHA!
Ed wanted to know what the exact percentage is for KK being outdrawn by 88 on the flop

Thanks.
That would be the odds of flopping a set of 8's (and the K's not flopping a set) plus the odds of flopping quad 8's.
If I understood Ed's question about outs correctly, here is a post that I made about a year ago when a similar question was asked:
Here's a question that was asked on a recent show. What are the maximum number of outs that you can have on the river? (if you're not actually winning already!).
Well, the maximum outs would be if you had an opened ended straight flush draw with 4 overcards to the pair on the board (two of which are a pair) against an underpair.
An example is:
p1: 2c2s p2: KhQh
board=ThJhTs8s
In this case, p2 wins in the following cases:
any of eight hearts to make a flush (i.e. not the 2h) any of three (non-heart) K's to make a better two pair any of three (non-heart) Q's to make a better two pair any of three (non-heart) A's to make a straight any of three (non-heart) 9's to make a straight any of three J's to make a counterfeit two pairs either of two (non-heart) 8's to make a counterfeit two pairs
This is 25 outs and the odds are 25/44 = 57% (not too shabby, really!)

I storm off muttering, "Lisa-Marie told me that AJ was the nuts"
Norman Chad is speechless.
The exit hand would have to be my AA v KK v QQ v 22
on a AKQ flop. Everyone AIPF and it comes runner runner 22.
With obv Mr/mrs 22 going on to take the crown and this hand going on to be the most watched vid on U tube. (after a couple of TK's cuticle watch vids)

Is there anyone in here ... here ... here?
Rich, you can't say shortarse - even if no-one is watching!
Lol - it’s not even on ofcom’s almost naughty list ‘-)

I would never have suspected that Mark could be so sneaky.
'wonderful play'- Ed
I'm going with Ed on this one, thanks for the vote of confidence!!
That would be the odds of flopping a set of 8's (and the K's not flopping a set) plus the odds of flopping quad 8's.
It's about 12%.
Ooh, best wishes to Tikay too!
