Merry Christmas everyone!

Hope you're enjoying the festive holidays. I'm still in my elf outfit, but that's another story.

Anyway, I'm here to remind you that we have a special series of live shows this Chrimbo covering all the big UKOPS events.

So, make a note of this- it might well be the life-saver you've been looking for to get you away from playing charades with the family or having to sit through the Wizard of Oz...again.

TUESDAY 27TH DEC

WEDNESDAY 28TH DEC

THURSDAY 29TH DEC

FRIDAY 30TH DEC

We are live every one fo those nights and, please note, from the NEW TIME of SEVEN O'CLOCK!!!

Yes, five hours of rock-solid pokertainment for 4 nights in a row, culminating in the £50,000 UKOPS Main Event.

it's going to be seasonally epic.

And we're going to be giving seats to the non UKOPS main events all that week on every show too. Yes, we're generous. We know.

This will be the official show thread for all 4 shows, so please post away to ensure your  messages are read out during the festive period on Sky Poker TV.

I'll be here for all 4 shows, joined along the way by the likes of Carlo Claus, Santa Kendall and Tinsell Harris with special guests including Michelle 'Merry Gentlemen' Orpe and Jen 'Mince Pie' Mason.

Have a great Christmas and we'll see you at 7 on Tuesday!

    And here's a reminder of who's on the shows and what we're covering...

    In the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve here on Sky Poker TV we’re going UKOPS crazy!

    We have four, count ‘em, FOUR shows in a row- every night from Tuesday 27th to Friday 30th covering our massive festive online festival.

    And every night we’ll be LIVE from a new time of 7pm for FIVE HOURS!

    I’ll be here for all of them...


    Yeah, that's me. Attempting to look cool.

    And joining me on each night will be a plethora of Sky Poker’s finest.

     

    Tuesday 27th

    …is UKOPS Side Event night as Carlo Citrone 


    ...and I bring you five hours from the baize moments after it’s happened with special guest and friend of Sky Poker, US commentator David Tuchman.



    Wednesday 28th

    …is the £10K Doublestack with myself, Trevor Harris 


    and a very popular face with our viewers and an old friend of Sky Poker Michelle Orpe!


    Thursday 29th

    … sees the £25,000 Bounty Hunter with Fat Santa Carlo and myself, or should that be mys'elf'?

    Friday 30th

    …And last and by all means MOST, on the eve before new year’s Eve it’s the big one- the UKOPS Christmas Main Event with a gargantuan £50,000 guaranteed in the kitty and I’ll be joined by Father Christmas himself, Tikay...


    and poker journalist and blogger Jen Mason.


    So, what’s not to like? Expert analysis, lots of fun guests and 20 hours of full-on coverage of our collosal UKOPS series where the prize pools are galactic sized!

    Sky Poker TV- this Christmas.

    As Del Boy will no doubt say in the traditional Only Fools Xmas Day repeat: "You know it makes sense, Rodders!"

    Thanks guys for your comments and for being loyal viewers too!

    OK, I'm in the studio gallery, getting this thread up-to-date and looking at the running order for tonight.

    Remember- we're on air at SEVEN this evening.

    Joinng me are Carlo and special guest David Tuchman, who regular viewers will remember from many a Sky Poker show and in particularly as one of the judges of Total Player.

    Get your questions in on this thread please.

    Plus- any amusing Xmas stories from this year?

    How did you spend yours? What's the worst present you got?

    Get 'em in!

    And finally- we're doing a special Orford's Disastermind tonight where the winner will get a free seat into tomorrow night's 6K Main Event Doublestack- worth £22!

    All you have to do is answer as many general knowledge questions in 30 seconds on the phone- email us your name, player alias and tel. no. and we'll do the rest tonight.

    Good luck and look forward to hearing from you throughout the show tonight.

    Hi Rich, have a good show.
    just a couple of questions lol
    1st, i have been watching your cash quest with interest as i have just started playing cash myself, I was a bit disturbed that you wasn't playing you own money even though you probably earn more in a week than i do in a month lol and yes being staked brings its own pressures i know.

    2nd I have also took a interest in the survivor series to see if anyone else could do it, I see coolmark did it and congratulations to him, you posted on his thread that you thought he was the 1st player to do this, not sure if you ment during your promotion or ever, but i did it on the 6th of August, so my real question is, can i have a free seat at the main event or at least a side avent on the same night, after all it is Christmas,

    Hi Rich

    Hope you all had a great Christmas.

    I'm playing the £6k tonight and feeling on top form so you could do alot worse than following my progress and even if I bust out early there'll be a great bad beat story to tell!

    See you on the final table!

    I'm Gutted!

    I'd expect it from other channels!

    But it's the first time an 865 presenter has been talking PANTS!

    Except, Orford Obviously!

    Hi guys.

    Looking forward to a great show as usual.

    Best xmas present was a trip to Ireland with my wife where i have just got back from and where we had a fantastic time seeing the sites of the great country and also visiting on one occasion a very busy market where my wife bought herself a photocopied picture of none other than Sky Pokers very own Carlo Citrone himself from a big Irish guy called Ronnie who was selling them out of a suitcase at the entrance :)


    All the best for the new year guys.

    Martin.

    If Carlo's phone is so good,
    Why hasn't he brought it to the studio?

    or

    does it answer his calls and set up fake twitter accounts for him?
