Final table has just started, but the Sky Poker forum (where they are doing the live updates) doesn"t list the names of the players, their chipcounts, or the prizes..

I"ve tired to register for an account to ask, but even to post on the forum there, you need to register your credit card. No thanks!.

I"m following the updates from Stu Oliver and Sky forum. Pity DTD doesn"t have a live stream for this, but Sky Poker are filming it so guess we"re just relying on the other updates.

Go Leigh! xxx

No idea sorry. I"ve just got rid of my Sky...

Also, not sure if it"s on a Sky Sports Channel (would be amazeballs if it is!) or the Sky Poker Channel.

Definitely on Sky Sports, timing tbc.

Incredible achievement in that field with this amount of money at stake.  Hopefully Leigh can push it over the line now, one last heave!

Post by: Matt D on August 17, 2014, 20:29:52 PM
Blimey! An all-in and a call preflop... Details to follow apparently!..
Title: Re: Anyone following Leigh Wiltshire on final table of Sky 6-Max Main Event?
Post by: Matt D on August 17, 2014, 20:42:25 PM
Leigh A-6 vs JJ of his opponent. Q9Q93 on the board, and Abi Khaitan doubles to 16m. Leigh still on 8m though!.
Title: Re: Anyone following Leigh Wiltshire on final table of Sky 6-Max Main Event?
Post by: Matt D on August 17, 2014, 21:14:19 PM
Leigh down to 5m vs his opponents 20m.. and there"s another all-in.

Leigh 99, Abi 33.

The board runs outs 5-2-5-6-A, and Leigh doubles up to 10m. Abi down to 15m.

Next hand Leigh takes another 2m off Abi, meaning they"re just about level-pegging as they enter another break.

Congratulations to Leigh. At my first ever APAT he was the first person I was introduced to and he made me feel more than welcome. I also had him on my table when we started and he gave me some of his chips too! As said everywhere else, a well deserved win for one of the good guys.

Exactly my thoughts Colin.. Had the pleasure of meeting Leigh in my first ever live APAT tournament, made me feel welcome and I never looked back.. Not a bad ROI for 1p  :)

Echo everything that"s been said.. Well deserved one for the good guys!"
