The players party last night was as usual superb and with 5 free drinks for everyone and a coach to take us there.
I didn't actually get back to my hotel until 6.30am and I may have been rather drunk but I can't quite remember although I do remember going for a Pizza at about 5am so all is not lost. Please take this into account if there any spelling errors!  |

kunoba turns up in his Arsenal shirt for the main event, in all fairness he may get a game for them next week if he can play at centre back.
Iam going to be nicer to him today as I have 10% of him!  |

Our old friend Aarno who came 3rd in London Live and is the mentor to a lot of the young Finnish players coming to the Betfair Live events.

A new friend made whilst drunk last night who intrestingly is called Pepsi and reminds me of a young Richard Herring!

Interesting that Fredrik has decided to by headphones bigger than his actual head!

The lovely Lizzie who is not just easy on the eye but is also a talented poker player.
Before any of you ask... She's married!   |

Arttu, possibly the only person who feels more delicate than me today!
These Finn's can't half absorb some alcohol!  |

Bifta falls to the new pro Hans Vogl when his AA is eclipsed by Hans's AsJs when the flop comes three Spades and Bifta shoves his remaining 4k and no runner runner escape for the poor old Bifta!
|

By:
Talking to Rockme during the 1st break he is up to 24k after having AA twice and flopping a Full House when dealt 10 10!
 |

Kunoba has been a card rack for the first two hours getting set after set and is now up to 32k!!!

Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to the new Betfair sponsored pro Mr Hans Vogl.

Hans currently has 13k!

Didn't catch up with Rockme until the 1st break but you will never guess where I found him? Anyone who knows billy will already have guessed as the question is easier than a phone in question for This Morning!

Here is a young Norwegian gentleman called Yung who had to be shown for his wonderful taste in Jackets!
The salesman who sold it him can have a job for me any time he likes!  |

The above picture does not do the jacket justice, it is far more pink than it looks and has nice sparkly silver thread sewn in as well!

And a blast from the past, Tallinn 2nd Seppo turns up in his poker manager for Finland role (and chief alcohol abuser) to liven up the whole event.
This is the only man here taller than me and the man responsible for me not getting in till 6.30 am!  |
|
By:
And yes I did photoshop the diet coke into his hand!

Big Mark currently on 11k. Just had to fold after putting in 2.5k pre flop to a very aggresive Scandi!

Here is another of the people responsible for my late night endeavours last night, Mikel!
Mikel was a hero last night he is Spanish and we went back to the hotel in two taxi's and he heard the drivers arranging to take us the 'long route' so he made it obvious that he knew what was going on and we were in the 1st taxi with the other following. Obviously our taxi driver had to play it straight and so did the other one who was behind him, as we got out at the hotel they were arguing with each other as the 2nd driver just though we were all foreign tourists ripe for the plucking and was savaging his mate for taking the straight route. Was almost like being in London!  |

Our two London Live freeroll winners playing the main event both looking slightly the worse for wear!

We ended up with 128 players starting.
Now 105 players remain! |

This is the guy who kept asking yesterday if we could have a gays only table in the freeroll and when we said no kept asking if we could play naked poker so I have christened him the Gay Viking.
As bizzarre as all this sounds he is a really nice chap.  |

Thrappers! Please pass on a big cockney hello to all the usual suspects, with the exception of the plastic Arsenal supporter who has never even seen them live once, despite being nearly 50 (at least he looks that haggard).
Big Mark looks terrible, so no change there then - ask him how Crouch is doing? Say hello to his lovely missus, she deserves a medal for putting up with him. I see Bifta is there - where is his partner in crime Redmist? Oh, and give Francecsa a sloppy one from me. Wish I'd come now :-( Have a great time mate and keep me posted on the antics! |

Seeing your Facebook pic reminded me this was on. Think I might try and get a seat for London in Feb. Really enjoyed it last time. Nice updates so far :o)

Sussex girl you are missed, as is Ian, please pass on my regards. |

A very happy Kunoba goes to 43k after winning a very large pot against Fredrik where Kunoba had KQ and let Fredrik bluff off chips with his 77 with no 7 on the board but a King on the flop.

Betfair veteran Juho ticking along.

By:
Kunoba wins his first bounty knocking out a shorty with 8k to move onto over 50k.

Fredrik whose range seems to be limitless and is very active doing nicely and the comedy headphones seem to have disappeared.

Aarno falls to the ruthless young lady sat to Lizzie's left when playing 35 soooted she hits a straight on the turn and Aarno's top two pair hit on the flop is beaten.
She shoved the river and glared him down with an icy stare, she scared me and I wasn't even the one she was glaring at. She now has over 94k and is comfortably the tournament chip leader.  |
