Linda's game today.

Noel says this is a milestone, as today's game is 1,250! He says this game is all about numbers and talks about the important numbers that players come with.

Linda has box 6.

Linda is from Liverpool. She says she's a lover of poker and can read people and their body language really well. She's currently a literacy and numeracy teacher and is married to her husband Roy. We get to see a pic of her daughters and husband, and another pic of her playing poker at a national competition, which she won! Her daughter is in the audience today.

Here we go....

Round 1

Linda says no-one must feel responsible for what's in their boxes.

16 - Jessica - £5

Clive now, and Linda says she keeps telling him off for being smutty!

4 - Clive - £20,000

14 - Debs - £50

9 - Caroline - £1,000

8 - Ruth - £10

Banker time

Noel picks on a woman in the audience who looks nervous, and she says Noel's too close too her, so he sits on her lap. The banker says congratulations to Linda for playing on the 1,250th show. He claims to have seen Linda at poker tournaments as he's taken part in them and got beaten by her!

Banker's offer:

£10,250

Linda says NO DEAL

Round 2

2 - Eddie - £5,000

18 - Zoe - £1

Noel gets Linda to call a break.

We're back

Last box before the Banker.

10 - Kim - £75,000

Banker time

The banker says one the joys of poker is watching other people's expressions, and Linda is his ideal woman. However he doesn't want her to cost him a lot of money!

Banker's offer:

£12,250

Linda says NO DEAL

Round 3

5 - Kevin - £15,000

20 - Steve - £250

Eric now and Noel says he lives on the B222!

3 - Eric - 10p

Banker time

The banker says he's being very candid as this is not the situation he wanted with a poker player in the chair.

Banker's offer:

£17,250

We haven't seen this for a while...a gambler with strong foundations...

Linda's daughter says she has more power 5s left than the banker has and that there's one more round in it. The banker calls back and says Linda and her daughter make quite a package!

The banker wants Linda to deal, and he calls back and says the board won't look so strong after 3 boxes.

Linda says NO DEAL

Round 4

Noel says that was a meaty offer.

1 - Matthew - £10,000

17 - Brian (aka Elvis!) - £50,000

15 - Michael - Noel says the banker is seriously impressed by this and he calls a break.

Well unless the four remaining Power Five all remain, the Banker will technically be correct...and indeed we've hit one of them...

Nevertheless it wasn't one of the two six-figure amounts...and if they are both there at 8-box (preferably with the £35,000 too) then this could turn out to be a game of true grit and determination...seldom do we see proven gamblers get the boards to reward their bravery so maybe today!

EDIT: Sorry for sounding so KB-esque today!!!

We're back

Last box before the Banker.

15 - Michael - 1p

Banker time

Brilliant!

£22,250?

Michael comes out on to the walk of wealth to give Linda a big 1p kiss. The banker talks in some poker terminology.

Banker's offer:

£22,250

This is worth serious thought - I think I'd deal here

Spot on with my prediction!

He's either playing a bigger-than-usual significance on the loss of the £50,000 or he's goading her!
