UK HSP. phil ivey set to play. wheeeeeeeeee

[FriarTuck]

As stated - it'll be me doing color and gary jones doing pbp.

as for devilfish - I don't think he's welcome there either - he hasn't endeared himself to many a producer anywhere.

the game is filled with a bunch of full tilt guys - but I don't think that should change anything - there will be a few players that are not affiliated with fulltilt - and either way, these guys should play real hard against each other.

I don't think Ivey cares who's money he wins - do you? I'm trying to get as much information on the players as possible - if any of you have any interesting tidbits of info that might help, I'd be most appreciative.

Also they need Parg Parkinson to do commentary, that guy is hillarious.

I'd rather it was Victoria Coren. Funny, smart and easy on the eye.

I'm sure Dave wishes it was Vicky too [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

As much as I like Victoria Coren, I'm not a fan of her commentary where she emulates Jesse May's strangulated similes far too much for my liking.

Marc Goodwin as you probably know:

* Nickname is 'Mr Cool'
* Used to be a double glazing salesman.
* An Omaha cash game player (he said in UK gambling magazine Inside Edge that 'Omaha's my game. Hold'em's just brain dead. People walk away from my table saying, "I can't believe he called my raise with 6-8". That's 'cos I get bored').
* Loves to see flops.
* The father of 5 kids.
* Finished second to Annie Duke in the World Series of Roshambo 2006.
* Highest cash in a tournament is his 3rd place finish last year in the Monte Carlo Millions.

I've no idea what you're looking for though. Give us an idea of any other Europeans who are appearing.

Tony G and the Mouth at the same table!!!!
Can't wait to watch this!

[doc_1982]

They already were at the MCM. Nothing happened.

Also, do people really want to watch devilfish play?

[stereoman]

Cash game environment could prove to be a different kettle of fish though. WPT Bad Boys II was fun though.

Devilfish? Yeah, why not? He's got a website to promote. It may be in his interest to promote it any which way he can...and it'd be fun to watch.

Roland De Wolfe will be familiar to hardcore WPT viewers (he's appearing if you're wondering).

Thanks - this kind of stuff is perfect. Obviously, I have access to the internet and can check on the participants - just looking for other interesting information.

I'm always looking for good stuff...thanks alot!

Tuch. Great opportunity... whatever you do, don't turn into a VVP and use phrases like "wired-pair". Been watching LATB for a year and a half now and you and Bart have been phenomenal, by far the best poker-announcing duo. Congratulations.
