Unlucky Tony. Played Friday, wasted a decent position by playing two hands really badly, before exiting from Mr Eubank Jr's table. Then having lost twelve thousand on the river, on the third hand of Saturday, I proceeded to not play particularly well until getting knocked out around about the time Kane got Spurs second goal. I might have to face up to the fact that I am just not very good at poker. Really enjoyed meeting up with everybody again, will look forward to Nottingham once I stop feeling sorry for myself.
Bad news I'm afraid, Rose gets it all-in with the A-J & bumps into Queens & gets no help on flop or turn so does the full patented Irish Rose Stand Up, Put Coat On, Pick Up Handbag, Order Taxi routine.

@Sky_SamT is still in, he's in great shape with just over half a milly.
33 players left, so they are all guaranteed £600.
30 players left across 4 tables.
I'm still getting up to speed on the who & what, but those still in include;
@Sky_SamT
Deborah Worsley Roberts (hereafter called DWR to save me typing such a long name).
Ian Fraser
James Dempsey
Irish Rose
Groggy
Mark Waterhouse. (He used to work for Sky Poker, great bloke).
Dixie Dean (been a Brighton standing dish for donkey's years).
30 left.
There's a break in a few minutes, once that's finished I'll try & get some photos & chip counts.
30 left at 5.20pm, & the average stack is 35 Bigs.
That suggests to me a late night - or more likely early morning - is in prospect.

On we go.
25 left, so they are all guaranteed £720.
Ian Fraser is out.
Approx chip counts with 22 left.
Blinds are now 8,000-16,000/16,000.
Irish Rose 800,000
Danny Grogan 800,000
Sky Sam 800,000
James "Flushy" Dempsey 130,000
DW-R 500,000
Dixie Dean 1,000,000.
Sadly, James "Flushy" Dempsey is busto. Who'd have thought?
Down to 2 tables & 18 players now.
My current work-station is what will be the Final Table, so I need to shift all my gear & set up somewhere else.
BRB.
That's Groggy, back to camera.
The Board reads 3-4-5-6-10 & he's bet the river, fella just visible far right has 3 bet him.
Groggs gives him that mean long stare, maybe 3 minutes. Then 4 bets to 650,000. The fella looks in a world of pain & eventually sigh folds.
That pot alone was a million & a half+, & Groggs still had a million+ behind, as you can see. (His chips are stacked in 20's).
And gets there on the river....
C'mon Rose
