SPT Manchester 2009-10: Leg 1 Manchester. Live Update and Competition

edited November 2009 in The Sky Poker Tour
Well it's nearly here. Leg 1 of the 2009-10 SPT from the G Casino Manchester.

149 of Sky Poker's finest, and Richard Orford, battling for the £4,000 first prize and bragging rights, at least until Leg 2.

From 2pm Saturday I will, technology permitting, be bringing you a Live Update from the event with news, chip counts, a few poker hands, photographs (though when you find out who my photographer is, you'll wonder how) a lot of fun hopefully.

This will work best if people interact on here, ask after their friends and cheer them on if they are doing well.

Also, if you are playing, feel free to post how you are doing via your mobile devices.

    To accompany this live update we have a small competition for you, as follows:

    All you have to do is Name the Winner. Simples.

    The names of the 129 online qualifiers are listed in the Poker lobby and the other people playing (where I know names) are as follows:
    Roy Wheetham
    Christian Garvin
    Dave Burns
    Susan Roche
    Mark Hall
    John Batty
    Richard Orford
    Ed Giddens
    Dennis Taylor
    Stephen Maguire
    Stephen Nelson
    Ryan Day
    Matthew Stevens
    Barry Carter
    Richard Holt
    Kenny Sansom
    Mark Allen
    John Ward

    Choose a name from either list, post it on this thread and the person whose pick finishes highest scoops an entry into a Sunday night Primo competition courtesy of the Sky Poker Tour.

    In the event of more than one person choosing the same name we need a tiebreak question, as follows:

    - What time will the final hand of Leg 1 be dealt?

    Closest to the correct answer wins the tie-break.


    So, two answers please

    a) Name the winner
    b)     What time will the final hand of Leg 1 be dealt?


    Post on here, and good luck!

    In a blatant display of online onanism, I'm going to vote for myself. 

    I've read Gus Hansen's book (twice), and I plan to watch Rounders on my laptop on the journey up, so by the time I get there, I really ought to be on fire. Be warned, I'm even bringing a rack of biscuits to break beside my ear at pivotal moments of play.

    The last hand will be dealt at 1.15am, whereupon I shall doubtless be carried aloft on the shoulders of a jubilant partisan crowd through the streets of Machestercestershire.

    ...Or I might bust out in the first few minutes so that I can loaf around the bar. I haven't decided yet.

    You need someone with luck and nerve. Please don't even be vaguely tempted by me.
    I'll go for the Hoggster,

    I have been on a deadful run since I paid the entry fee for Nottingham from my considerable winnings that month.
    I'm hoping satelliting into this for a fiver will redress the balance and see my to my past glories.
