Heat 4 tonight. Loaded with people I dont know, mostly because they qualified online. Willie Tan is always tough to beat, and Sean Murphy is always dangerous. Three OAPs (or almost) in the 7 and only one person younger than me at all, makes me think (hope) I may have a very long future in this game.

Stupid fucking Sky. advertised as heat 7, they show it in heat 5's place. this one was a cracker with tony bloom, surinder sunar and ken lennard battling it out with some brilliant poker.

Great line up tonight and as TPAK said the poker was superb. A lot of the action preflop was amazing and the moves they made against each other were incredible. Probably the best heat of any of the made for tv tournaments that I have seen.
