Not on Sky poker as yet else would have stopped by. Watched the programme a few times can't remember if they show any hands on there or if its live on Fridays?

First break 25mins in (at 5 mins to the hour like most sites) and we're on 8.6k from a starting stack of 4k. Got it all in pre QQ v JJ and we held No bounty as the dude had already doubled sadly.
Annoying they're talking Superbowl on a British "Poker" (< key word there huh) channel
------------ Arrrh they're showing a poker game now, but it's not mine

Darn, with a £25 bounty on each player the whole dynamic changes.
Called 300 pre with K6d vs a 1.5k stack, flopped a flush draw and missed when he shoved. Definitely happy with that play.
PS - This chap in the stripey shirt / glasses is Neil Channing, a very solid and respected British player. Knows his stuff
------------ Wooohooo, got a bounty of £18.75 and up to 10.4k AQo vs ATs, he flopped the ten, I hit 4 to a flush
------------ Boooom, folded round to my BB. Shoved T6o into a 2k stack with A4o (100/200 blinds) and hit my ten. £37.50 in bounties and 12.3k now Again, looks a donkey play but definitely a easy shove in a blind v blind spot with a bounty involved.

Had a 6k stack shove into my BB (500/1000). I was low with 9k but had to make the call with Q8o for the bounty. Flopped 2 pair vs his A4 and take another £18.75 bounty and up to 16k
--------------------------
12 left of 61 entrants, 9 pays. Low on 12k
------------ Arrrrh, after all that I bust in 11th for a £0 payout but £75 in bounties.
30k SB shoved into my BB (16k). I snap with A 8 , he shows 5 9 (LOL)
Flop comes 5 4 5 NOOOO!!!!!
Turn 7 YAAAAAY!!! NUT FLUSH!!!!!!
River 4 NOOOOO!!!!! FULL HOUSE FOR HIM
Oh well, a profit....a nice one from my £6 earlier.
Thanks for the support and for reading my ramblings. Enjoyed that

Cheers mate.
I'm good to start whenever too. My work hours will be quite weird / irregular but I will keep in constant contact as to when/what I (we!) plan to play etc

Well done both in getting your dream job and your winnings from the tournament. You didnt end in the money, but considering your qualification and the money you also got from the bounties you did very good.
