Merry Christmas y'all!

Hope you're having a great Yuletide. And it's about to get better!

Because this Christmas Thursday sees the start of a very special sequence of broadasts from Sky Poker TV as we go LIVE for FOUR nights in a row!

Yes folks, it's Christmas UKOPS! And we're bringing you dedicated coverage of the big games every night  up to and including the main event itself on Sunday 30th.

We start this Thursday Dec 27th from 7pm with NIGHT 1- where the main event is a £30,000 GTD Bounty Hunter.

The tourney starts at 8 and the tourney lobby is here

If £110 is a a bit too pricey for your BR, then look out for all the satellites running constantly between now and kick-off time.

As for your TV coverage, well, it's a five hour Christmas blockbuster hosted by myself, Richard Orford and Redmond Lee.

From 7 till 8 we'll bring you coverage of a UKOPS 1 late satelllite.

And then, from 8 it's UKOPS 1 all the way, along with phonecalls with players and loads of interaction from you at home.

Hand requests from the game, messages of support for players, stories of how you satellited in and progress reports, along with all the usual stuff should be posted on this thread, sent to skyopen@bskyb.com or tweeted with #skypokertv.

We have 4 seats to give away for the next night's UKOPS 2 mini event.

They'll go to good hand requests from UKOPS 1 and our favourite answers these questions:

What was your best Christmas present this year?

And what was your worst?

Get your answers in for that and I'll see at 7pm tomorrow night!

    Best present was some beard styling gel.  No words are needed to say how much this present was needed!  Worst was a season ticket to West Brom, err, I mean a pair of socks with my name on.   No wonder she's my ex....now!

    Good luck to everyone playing in all the UKOPS events tonight.  I got into the main for £6 so look out as I'm treating it like a freeroll!

    I always used to get xxl boxers.  I didn't know that the size refers to your waist, I thought it refered to something else ;)

    So, if you want to be on TV tonight...

    Firstly: get yourself in the UKOPS 1 main event, either by buying in directly or by satelliting in.

    Secondly: drop us an email to skyopen@bskyb.com with your name, alias and contact phone number.

    Easy as that.

    Then, we'll stick some of your hands on TV and then speak to you on the phone for a couple of minutes to find out how your tourney is going.

    And if you're playing in ANY UKOPS event tonight you can send any interesting hands in to us, simply by posting on here or emailing (address above) your name, alias and hand id no.

    Make sure you tell us which tournament it's from though.

    And, if it's any good, i.e.a hand which gives us something to discuss, then we'll stick it on the air.

    Hi guys, looking forward to the show tonight!

    Like last year (you may remember rich as I think you did last year's show with carlo) my wonderful girlfriend has bought me into tonights £110 bounty hunter as 1 of my christmas presents :)

    I managed 7th last year for £700 and odd pounds, so hoping to go better tonight and reach that final table :)

    Have a great show,

    Keith, Preston.
