The entertainment was unusual with this spectacular gymnastic display, apparently in other clubs they do similar with less clothes1 WinkWink

420 players so far with late registration still open and the total expected to be around 450.

WPT, EPT, iPOPS and more have had tournaments in Prague in the last couple of weeks so plenty of spare players floating about.

Up to 444 entries now and rising with only 3 out in the first 90 minutes.

Because of the late entry system we haven't been given a player list yet so tracking players who are split between two floors is nigh on impossible.

I have a few players I recognise and a few who I know are Betfair players but I don't know their names?? CrazyCrazy

Anyone seen a hungover gay viking before?

Apparently been chucking up since 6.30am, an evening out with me but he couldn't stay the pace!  tut tut! Silly

Up to 468 entrants now and late registration is still open.

All together 5 have suffered the dreaded early exit, obviously if Klup was playing it would be 6!

Found him hard to track down and found him in a side room that only has 5 tables in it.

Here is Paul Cameron known to us all as the legendary PC Plod.

Just had the first break and found Barry Ross whose poker name is the rather excellent Bum Conker! LaughLaugh

Barry is from Liverpool and doesn't have any La Coste on at all which ruins any Scouse stereotype jokes I had lined up! Shocked

Blinds just gone up to 100/200 and a running ante of 25 has kicked in!

I didn't mention it before but the starting stack was 20k and all of the betfair players seem to be within 2 or 3k of that.

Riddle for you HF!


I've just had something you just couldn't get at the moment. What is it?

We now have 489 players registered which is more than the EPT had last week.

To say the GSOP staff are chuffed is an understatement.

Biggest ever GSOP event and biggest field to play in one single day.

Jaroslav goes out when he runs AK into AA, maybe a bit early to be committing yourself with AK so an early bath for Mr Tjepan.

The GSOP staff are running around like 8 year old kids after eating a bowl of sugar after it was announced that they had 500 runners.

Hats off to them, they have made everything run very smoothly so far which is not easy when the tournament is spread across three rooms and two floors!

433 players remain.

Then thought wait a minute we should brand these, so at the next Betfair Live event instead of a hoodie or a t-shirt your getting....
