Helpfully, I carried Mother's lappie into the Casino this morning, she was carrying all the camras & lights & kit..
To log on - we have Company Lappies - there are FIVE different Passwords needed. Get any one wrong twice, & thats it, you are perma-locked out, & need security clearance, & a Memo from Head Office, to do a password reset.
We out the two laptops on the Table, & I logged in. No joy.
Try again. Wrong again, & locked out now.
Mother offered to help.
Then I opened my Lappie Bag & realised my Lappie was stll in it, unopened.
See where I'm going with this, yeah?
Meanwhile, mother is still locked out of her lappie. Truly.
Then it got interesting, & "Giant811" arrived. You will not believe this, but - TRULY - he is 6'-10" tall. Honest. He is German - proper German, "ya" & all that, & his name is Jurgen Geddit, I think.
Next to poll up was "lumking09". His real name? Jeez, this is too tough for words - his name is Lum Wong Ming. Comes from Hong Kong, lives here now. Lovely chap, 2'-9" tall. His surname is Lum, but in China, they do the names back to front. I am not making any of this up.
This is, surprise surprise, Giant811, real name Ulrich Rettig. German, wonderful bloke, works in a Hossie in Southampton, loves Sky Poker. Don't we all.

Sorry for short absence. Wifi probs, groan,but I've also interviewed EIGHT of our players, some incred stuff, too.
Giant is a LEGEND. Like, a tall legend.
Photo on way, if the wifi permits.
Players taking their seats, looks like we will start bang on time. Ish. Almost. Sort of.
PS - Giant is tall.
Play has COMMENCED, @ 2.02. Not bad.
Level 1, 25-50, they have 20,000 chips each, 1 hour levels, break after Level 2, Dinner break after Level 4.
"Countrywide Flame" won the first @ Chelters, 33/1, oooooooooooooooooh.
Told you he was tall. Or maybe I have shrunk.
No Photoshop here.

Sorry chaps & chapesses, can't seem to get the photos to upload at present.
If we can't, we'll revert to the written word.
Major internet issues here @ Walsall, I think the Live Steeams are nicking the bandwidth.

Chip counts for our crew coming up next, but first, spotted this outside the Casino.
Don't fancy the hare's chances with that, & I shudder to think what the traps look like.
The lot on Trap 6 please.
First player to go busto was Larry Lee, who flopped two pair, did the old heave ho thing, & got called, & overtaken.
