Ladbrokes Poker Million on TV

Well it's that time of year again and we're at the live televised stages of the Poker Million. Tonight sees the 1st semi final on Sky Sports. I love this event and watch each season religiously. It's actually what got me into poker in the 1st place tbh. There's some good players in the semi's notably The Devifish, Tony G, Marty Smith etc

Qoute of the day for me was from Neil 'bad beat' Channing, when asked what would you do if you didn't play poker for a living he said: 'If I didn't play poker for a living I would probably have been either an actor, a ticket tout, a bookmaker or a con man! Luckily by playing poker I'm doing all those things!'

Keep an eye on Marty Smith. Master of the "M" Zone.

This deep, he can be a monster.

Last night's 1st semi final was a great heat. Sooooo disappointed Barny Boatman did't get through, he's a great guy and a really good player, but he has some dreadful luck on the televised events. Once again he didn't do well in a coin flip, where he picked up a shit load of outs on the flop and was well ahead with a royal flush draw, but it wasn't to be.

Tonight's semi promises to be a humdinger, with the devil fish, tony g, roy the boy brindley and marty smith + others all battling it out for the remaining 3 places in the final.
