Yes, that’s right punters, this Sunday night all this stuff will be given away:
Trophies! Medals! Money! The empty DVD sleeves and dust ARE NOT ON OFFER. And they’ll be going to the top three players of the season, after this Sunday night’s Superstack Grand Finale has been played out.
Even if you can’t win the championship, the Grand Final is open to any punter – the fee is $33 (that’s about £22), and they’ll be a decent amount of money flying round the table for people to grab onto. It starts at 8pm, it’s likely to go on a bit (2.5-3hrs by my reckoning), and you can find all the details on the BotherSOP page.
Meanwhile, The Poker Lounge, where amateurs take on five Full Tilt professionals in a tournament, began on Channel 4 on Tuesday night. It felt a bit rushed, in a way Late Night Poker doesn’t seem to suffer from.
I’ve just seen Downfall with Chris Jericho. I think it’s a good quiz and an enjoyable show and it manages that despite tripping over a few pitfalls that are going to stop it being truly great, which I’ll write about in more detail later.
