Just got up after (after my 7 hour drive last night). Actually took 5 but you"ve got to dramatise in these situations.
Firstly, I would like to thanks all of the guys at APAT for a superbly run tournament. It"s easy for you guys to say the players made it, but take some credit. It"s easy play poker when you"re at such a well run event.
Also thanks to the guys and gals at GALA CASINO. We were well looked after, and an special thanks to the dealers who did a great job with little reward (when you"ve got 130+ experts all giving chips counts etc. it"s not always easy to keep the table under control).
This was my first big event and I am very pleased with third place. My strategy involved not playing a single rag ace hand all torny. so it"s ironic that a rag ace hand which turned into a straight to the 5 ended up busting me out. But that"s why poker is such a great game.
Met some great people and players and thouroughly enjoyed myself. I will certainly be doing this again.
Finally, congrats to all players who made the final table, especially Glen and Jason, but especially the winner, Jason.
See you all at the table. :as: :
