Hi guys, really good show as always already had a post on so this is probably the only time i'll double up tonight ,
My biggest win is probably one of my most embarrasing moments to, me and my family had gone to a "fun day" event local to us when i was around 12-14years old, at this fun day they had a gladiator style event with the raised platforms and u try to knock people off. me and my sister decided to give it ago and i beat her 10-1, it was embarrasing because the local newspapers were there that day and ofcourse managed to take a picture as my sister scored her 1 and only point, she still has the newspaper and rubs it in my face all the time. but ultimately i was the victor!!
Great show guys! Sarah you are looking amazing as usual!!!
My biggest win was on a TV show called The Chair. Great experience but it was tinged with real good fortune for me. It was filmed at Pinewood studios where they were filming Die Another Day.
The show involved answering questions whilst attached to a heart monitor while sat in a giant chair - a bit like Millionnaire but if your heart goes above a certain rate, your money disappears until your heart rate comes down. The heart rate rises when you know an answer but again you cannot answer until it drops again. The show was hosted by John McEnroe who insulted the contestants.
I was scheduled to be the third contestant filmed that day but when it was my turn the pads to attach me to the heart monitor kept falling off so another contestant took my place. While I was being re-attached I saw their questions and would have lost on the third question. When I got up there, I got every question correct and my heart rate stayed below the limit & I picked up a cool £50k, the jackpot.
I have to say that luck played a massive part in that win.
As far as poker is concerned my biggest win was in the English Open Deepstack in Birmingham last year. I won a seat into the tournament via the local poker club in Shrewsbury where the six monthly winner won a seat into this £500 buy in event. I had never played any event of this size before but with a 50k stack and one hour clock I had several hours to get my bearings as I just folded. I saw Julian Thew come & go before I played a hand. By the end of the day I had 70k chips against an average of 100k. I got moved to the televised table halfway through day two which had Paul Jackson on it. Suddenly players were shoving against me when I had the nuts and before I knew it was leading with 3.2million chips.
I made the final table and ended up finishing 4th when I shoved A8 into AA but the £10k prize was a great consolation.
In answer to Redmond's question regard controlling my heart rate.
This was ten years ago when I hadn't discovered poker. I do think that I have little issue controlling my heart rate when I am playing poker. Maybe that does help me playing poker because it is amazing how many people pay me off when I shove with the nuts or shove into me when I have the nuts.
I had never really considered it before but I will now.

It is indeed £5,000 as detailed here and the prize amounts are correct in the payouts table.
The ten mentioned is an error. People will get the correct money in the end.
Thanks

Doubt that I would be able to control it then
Also doubt that Sarah will read this out.
