Poker Million

[Garf180]

Does anyone have details on the poker Million competition that was on sky sports?.... I started to watch it and Helen Chamberland was doing quite well in it, but i kind of lost interest as poker seemed to only be a summer hype.

What sort of details you after?

She came 2nd in the end. Got about 400,000 for it. Factory worker Tony somebody or other won it, and im glad much rather to him who needed it.

Chamberlain annoyed me tbh, her eyes gaping wide every time she had a flush draw like it was the bloody nuts

Some of the details of what happened here.

....for the 'richest prize in European poker' it was a shoddy holding site. They didn't bother updating the website after each episode broadcast so you didn't know who went onto the semi-final if you missed a show (what further mystery were they keeping from not telling us, months after the heats had already happened?).

I said it elsewhere but I wasn't happy that the semi-finals were broadcast so close to the actual final meaning bookmakers generally didn't have enough time to be creative in their markets like in 2004 where they had a week to do so (second semi-final was shown on a Wednesday, live final on Friday meaning bookies had less than 48 hours. Most just offered 'outright betting' whilst some featured 'head-to-heads' and a few others).
