world record attempt

[bally73]

morning guys
todays the day a friend of mine and sharky takes on the awesome test of breaking the world endurance test of poker his name is Dave 'alfa' Cain he used to do a lot with the poker leagues me and shark are involved in but has since moved to another
the attempt he is attempting to break the record of 72 hours 2 mins set by an american a few years back he is ideally going for 100 hours and if still ok going past that the game will be holdem heads up play which i'm sure will be really hard to concerntrate for that amount of time
it is taking place at the libary bar in lincoln and starts around 8 o'clock tonight all monies raised will be going to local charitees up there if you'd like to see any of it the site that has been set up is pokerplayingmarathon.com it will tell you more about the attempt and various facts also i believe there will be live streaming from the site once it has started

Im sure there will be plenty of bad beats in that......what a good job im not playing otherwise this forum would have to have a bad beat section of its own.......

Bally, he was interviewed on Sky poker yesterday i think . They may well repeat (they usually do) again !! Blonde haired fella, he was very interesting, when asked, "why try for 100hrs, when the record is 72hrs". He replied, "because he doesn't want to have to try and break it again"
Talking of Sky poker , the second leg of their tour will be in Birmingham if your interested, i might see you there !!
