I know the usual tv is usually garbage, trilby, but I am missing out on so much sport it is really starting to get to me. I could have been watching hesp on the final table live. I used to watch the golf, snooker, football etc and place bets but it is not so much fun gambling without watching it live. I could maybe have seen daley win the gold live, was it live on tv?
Thanks akabula. |

I think it was on Eurosport 2. Annie.
I can't see that it was shown on any of the main channels. |

For an amateur like him to come through such a large field of over 7,200 players was really something ! And without doubt that was one of the best final tables in recent years. He played a blinder to finish up there, I was really hoping he was going to win it. Lives in Bridlington and plays poker in Hull, and probably none of 'em on that table had even heard of him before, or heard of Bridlington or Hull !
Flew his family out to Las Vegas to be with him when he got to the final. In one interview he was talking about his poker skills, "I know the rules and I just got my way of playing it, never bought any poker books or anything. I've been a salesman in the past and I think I can read people well, their body language. And I just do what I do." Finished 4th and he netted £2million at world's biggest poker tournament. “I asked my wife Mandy what she wanted to do to celebrate and she said let’s just go to our holiday home caravan." One of his friends back home was asked how he thought he had done it, "I think he’s thrown all these professionals who are wearing their shades and hoodies as he turns up in the colourful jacket and Panama hat and a big smile on his face, chatting about all sorts. No poker face." |

Thanks, Diva.
I am a bit miffed that there was no mention on the main bbc website about his achievement and it was too late for the papers I think. |

I like to listen on the radio personally, although it's not always easy to get a feel for the poker faces.
