[Waz1892]

Chip Counts coming shortly

It"s been a bit disjointed on here today...sorry about that...we"ve had a lot of organising to do alongside the feed and the update today. Hoping and thinking it will be much simpler tomorrow to do a gangbusters service for you.

I don"t think you ever have to say sorry about updates!  Always awesome.

Pulled into my drive at 3.00am, after going out in 34ish when outdrawn by my team captain, Stu Oliver, good luck Stu, use "em wisely.
Good luck to Wayne Thomas, sat next to him through two of the slowest levels in history, dealers do have to learn, but should they be learning when the blinds are so high late in a tournament?
Big thanks to leigh and tighty as usual, and what a great casino! Nicest one I,ve been in, in the UK. Also a privilige to watch George Bedi run over a table, he did get lucky a time or two, but don"t we all from time to time, would love to see him TID.
Good luck to eveyone still in, will be watching later!

I was sat in the wrong seat for the hour or so I was in the main event.  Do I get reinstated? I"ll just take average chips, I don"t mind.

Good afternoon from the Ricoh Arena.

A quiet night (cough) in a football stadium was rather spoilt by a burst pipe at the venue this morning that meant that everyone had cold showers or no showers at all. That should make for a nice atmosphere in a few hours time.

Proceedings were rather enlivened on our teturn to the hotel last night by running into the annual Xmas function of the Coventry Building Society. Perhaps I am getting old, but how can people send out their daughters in -10c conditions wearing that little? Disgraceful. Even more disgraceful was that so many refused my offer of a fleece to keep them warm.


We get underway at 2.30pm

[Jeno2]

One of the excellent new dealers here at Coventry

Some of the best we"ve had in terms of entering into the spirit of the day.

Indeed the dealer with a thousand nicknames ninja,evil,ice queen,granny smith and a new given by us ice cream as we misheard ice queen cant remember any more if anyone else can who was on my table.

[Jeno2]

Jenny the new dealer here, just transferred from Plymouth

Not that I needed an excuse, but she wanted a photo for her facebook!

Certainly brightened my day at the end
