Special Thanks to Tikay!
« on: April 13, 2008, 17:38:19 PM »
Just got back from the Virgin festival in Newcastle so obviously did"nt do to well!

But yet again Tikay made the weekend extra special!

I met him for the first time when he did the commentry for the final table in Manchester, at the time I thought what a nice bloke, then over the last few months I"ve seen him repeatedly at DTD and elsewhere. My good friend Matt has posted elsewhere about the great amount of respect he has for the man after the "glasses fixing story"! This weekend took it to a whole new level!

After trying to get my friend Anand a seat nearly 10 times and bubbling twice, we set off to Newcastle with my playin and unlucky Anand as no more than a guest. We both chuckled when he got his lucky roulette number 23 on his golden ticket.

Just before the tourney started, Tikay did the intro in great style abusing both Maria and Lucy who had bounties on their heads then held up a special pass with the name GOLDEN BALLS on it. One lucky bugger will get to play this afternoon from the start, the lucky bugger with ticket........ twenty.........three.

We both did crap but thats not the point, completely made the weekend for both of us. (Well that and the two young ladies who took us out and about on the Friday night  ::) )

A bit of a sucky post i know, but after listening to his excited voice read out every all in for 7 hours i just wanted to say thanks for making another weekend that extra bit Tikaytastic.

Can"t agree more.

I was sat with your mate Anand on my first table.  He was explaining the relevance of the number 23 for him.  It was meant to be.

A great weekend, not sure how all the APAT guys did.

I know Morlspin came 2nd in one of the side events on the Sunday.

Nice one !!!

I cant agree more either..

TK was great, and made the tournament and day for me with his very funny comments, and sky poker esk commentry on the all ins.. Sometime more going on than he could handle but still got round to them..

A good weekend all in all, decided not to play on Sunday woke up with such a lack of sleep hangover, I thought id prefer to do the run back to Liverpool in the morning rather than later on in the afternoon when I would have been more tired..

It was great to meet so many as well, people from accross all forums, Blonde, Eat My Stack, AWOP etc etc, the one thing most of them have in common in APAT what seems to a central meeting place for all..

Also I would like to congratulate APAT, this probably being the reason the tournament is run the same as an APAT event, same Blinds and Clock.. Well done APAT, and Virgin for listening to the poker players..
