Congrats Warren, sick run.

Can someone else have a go? (No, not you, Carl)

Great weekend and 2 welsh winners, perfek.

Only gripe, as others have said, is the card room. It"s not the dealers or the staff it"s the size of the room, it is just too small for an APAT event.

I know i"m not the only one who loves coming to Cardiff, but who would not go back next year if it were held in this casino again.

An amazing achievement! Well done Warren!

Amazing achievement for Warren, congratulations.

This though.

10 handed tables, crammed in like sardines, impossible to get a drink, food, go to the toilet, clocks paused after breaks to try and get everyone back in their seats, etc. It must be a nightmare for the updaters as well. If I am going to make a 300+ mile round trip where expenses > buyins then the poker "product" better be good and this weekend wasn"t good enough to carry the APAT brand.

Amazing result by an amazing player!! .. Just wish he was English   ..

Guess we have to race to win a third now, Ben may even come out of retirement ?

See you in Nottingham Warren if Steve has a spot for you I guess

I wonder how deep the rail would be if we get Warren Vs Carl heads up in Nottingham. Also there are plenty of spots for Warren, it"s a team that is the issue :-) Would legit pay to see that happen.

As far as my comments on the Casino go  I do have to say that yesterday the dealers, floor staff and waitresses were first class, happy chatty and helpful. In fact yesterday the place was good but with the number of tables in the cardroom and 10 players per table it is just too small and nothing can be done about that.

Mark and Matt also did the usually great job of apat organizers do and made everybody feel welcome. It was the perfect size for the plo side event, the main event though, there is really only one cardroom in Wales with the facilities to hold this event and they don"t want us it seems :-(

Swansea Grovsnor is OK but small unless they put extra tables in elsewhere.

Totally agree with Curly, Rodders and Mark.

Debjani and I also decided on the way home that we wouldn"t be going back to that card room if APAT (or anyone else) holds an event there again. Not knocking any of the people who work there, just the space is too small. And even when crammed in, there"s only 110 runners.

Having said that great craic as always.

Warren is a monster. Out-pilgriming the pilgrim an immense achievement!!!

congrats warren brilliant achievement

Another excellent performance from Warren, many congratulations!

Can only echo what others have said, excellent staff/valets etc, but just too small...

The only compromise I can see to continue playing is to have 2 day 1"s and only have say 9 tables running. Definitely not an ideal, but would likely boost the numbers and make it much more comfortable. The downside being of course, 2 day 1"s and all the associated costs/admin involved.

We played there last year with the same gripe, I know I wasn"t the only one who somewhat happily ventured back despite the small card room. Given I knew what to expect, it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Congrats Warren!

Had a great weekend starting with posh dinner and dancing with a dwarf on Friday and ending with hilariously funny chicken take away story from Dan Owston on Sunday.

Thanks to everyone who sent PM"s or messaged in support - was much very appreciated even if I didn"t quite make it.

Completely worthy winner in Warren - soz didn"t come to congratulate you when Andy did but by then I"d had a couple of hours in the bar with above mentioned Mr Owston so would have been messy!   Truly amazing achievement though!
