The Grosvenor UK Grand Final Poker Tour package comprises an expenses paid entry to the GUKPT Grand Final being played later this year.  The package is worth in the region of $8,000.

2nd: £2,250 + Silver Medal + 17 ranking points.

4th to 9th:  £600 each + 10 to 15 ranking points.

Ian,

You"ll be please to know, I"ve arrived.  So stage one complete, but I think that may be my only success this trip.

Did see you"d made me your tip just before I flew, nearly asked for a refund on my ticket as it seemed a wasted journey now.

All is not lost Leigh, I did tip Lee Baron in Manchester and he made the final table. I think I also tipped Daniel to make day two in Cardiff, and he didn"t let me down.

Good luck anyway, and hopefully we"ll see you in Edinburgh.

Well hello everyone and welcome to Austria!

This is TightEnd, overcoming technological hardship and forgotten passwords to temporarily post on The Duke"s account.

Its been an interesting weekend already. Delayed from Heathrow we arrived in a deserted town 30km south of Vienna at 1am. Half an hour later we"re still trying to get a hotel room key via the automated system

Interesting scenario at the airport too. Met by a pre-booked taxi we say hello to the driver and he says "English, ja?"

Answering in the affirmative he then said"David Beckham"

So i have to respond

I managed "Hans Krankl, Thomas Hitzselsperger"

and was met by a grin and a nod

but try as I might I could not think of any more famous Austrian footballers

So thats you first challenge..non-Googling or else Uncle Tighty will put you in detention

famous Austrian footballers please!!!

The Poker Royale casino here is huge, maybe 80 tables

On an industrial estate its un pre-possessing from the outside, being a big black rectangular shed type construction

Inside though its like DTD"s less tasteful cousin...black and red colour scheme, like--I would imagine--a bordello in South America

Huge leather sofas, lots of fake pot plants, low lighting and plenty of eye candy

If I get distracted, you"ll have to excuse me

across the card-room the strain of the "Mission Impossible" theme tune ring out, rather interestingly to signify this

Well thomas hitzelsperger is German, (how would an english cabbie react to " Robbie Savage"?)

So that puts the list down to 1. Under the non googling rule, I am only able to add Alex Manninger (ex a r s e nal goalie)

Do I win a prize?

sadly they did not come and he has been knocked out

AndrewT is out

Had an eventful last two levels, lost with KK vs QQ, beat AK with 10 3 all-in pre and then fell on his sword pushing 76 suited against a button raise

Button had AK

As Andrew the push bot departed the he said "well one of them was going to get me eventually"

Assorted dinner break tales of delight and woe

terry Aylward is OUT pushed with QQ called by 99. Flop 9KK

Paullie D is OUT AK raise, flop AJJ. BB had called with J9 off and pushed the flop

Linda Iwaniuk 30,000

Phil Tomkinson from Middlesboro 30,000

Simon Aukland 15,000 and a rueful look of a man taking  a setback or two

Leigh Wiltshire 15,000

Tim Magnus 8,500

Don Roberts 35,000 helped by having a royal flush, paid by his opponent also holding a flush

Duke 21,000 having been down to 4,500 then tripled up with AK

Gareth Ower 12,500

technolog 12,500

constant refrain

"these Austrian players just will not let go of a hand!!"

to quote the Duke

"I am shaking like a leaf on my table. I raise, get four callers, c-bet the flop, get three players calling and then go from there. My chip-stack is a rollercoaster"

Just heard from Matt Forrest.  He went out holding A2 on an A A 2 flop.  All-in held 6 6 and hit runner runner sixes for quads.  Sick game if you ask me!

He"s just described his hotel as being like Guantanomo Bay, so sounds like a bad trip all round!

Simon Auckland has 45,000  "blinded away the last level"

Jeldon Fernandes 32,000


Gareth Ower is down to 45,000


"I just lost a 60,000 pot 3way. Up against QQ and 99"

"What did you have?" I enquired menacingly

"Something!" He replied evasively

Turning the screw, I pushed the fish further

"Well I raised to 9,000 with KJ. The SB pushed for 20,000 as did the BB so I had to call 11,000 to win over 50,000. I was priced in"


and so he was,he rivered the Jack but the Queens tripled up
