Brighton is one of the favourite stops on the Sky Poker Tour, it's not everywhere that has a Regency Palace, an I-Sore, and a selection of Victorian Piers, at least 1 of which is still standing.
Our Venue for the weekend is the Rendezous Casino, which sits about a mile east of the Town Centre, & actually forms part of the Brighton Marina development which was built by Taylor Woodrow some 50 years ago.
The Casino is the first of those curly roof buildings right at the top of the photo;
These two reprobates will be in attendance of course, that's Neil Channing & @Sky__James, who will wear his "Head Of Corporate Entertainment" hat all weekend.
Our Live Update will take it's usual form, just bants & craic Friday & Saturday, then a full interactive Live Update on Sunday, when things gets serious.
We can rely on Sam, James or Ambo to do the Live Update on Sunday if I make it through to the Final, as expected.
Remember this hand well, I bet the river really small for value and the lady who had the 9's shoved something like 8x pot, talk about running like @MattBates.

1 of your butlers said it was difficult, having to carry all that extra money...
@MISTY4ME would ahve had 4 breakfasts @HANSON 6 **** and possibly a couple of JD & cokes @IrishRose would have stood up from the table and put her coat on 3 times...even though play hasn't started...
And I'm a little bit envious of you all being there to have a great time with online friends, old and new !!
GL to all- let's hope a Sky player wins this time!
Struggling with wifi on my laptop here, says "No internet, open" but it won't connect. My I-pad is working fine, but I can't update much or load photos on it.
