Winners photos to follow tomorrow!

All that remains is for me to say a massive thanks to the casino, Krisztian the Card Room Manager, Richard, and all the rest of the cardroom staff, the valets and bar staff, and everyone else.

It"s been a very memorable experience.

Thanks to everyone who came to play, observe, or who followed the updates from afar. Hope to see you all at another event soon.

Finally, thanks to John Murray for providing some truly excellent updates, and to Alex Riccardi for her photography services on days 1b and 2.

Finally, to end the day off... Warren Jones did win an event - the casino"s £2k event for £700! 67 runners plus a few entries.

Congrats to the 3 medal winners.

Thanks, though it"s really John Murray that deserves the updating plaudits. A fine job I"m sure we can all agree!

First time I have played in this event, managed 5th place.  I Have to say there should be more tournaments like this and then the casino may get a lot more poker players in. Great structure, great tournament. Those two players heads up were serious sharks and I think Dave deserved it through out. Unlucky Guy, although you"ll be going back the West country one happy man no doubt. Congratulations to both of you. vwp.

Thanks to all concerned. Great few days.

What a successful weekend for the LivePubPokerLeague, with Dave Burt winning the Main Event, Dan Dennehy winning the PLO Side Event and Steve Kearns finishing second in the NLHE Side Event. All three have experienced significant success in major events previously and continue to play in the LPPL.

At home and just read through all your excellent updates John. I"ll forgive you for peeping at my cards when we were on the bubble

A great weekend as always, thanks very much APAT. Here"s to the next one  

My first Day 2 for ages as well, so even better!

Well played Jason, hes gutted im sure but excellent result with a bronze x

Thanks Suzanne appreciate the words - true as 3 handed we had similar stacks 600k v 800k v 700k. all <20bb. However had someone offered me 3rd place before the bubble and going through onto the final table I"d snapped it off such was the position I was in.

Well done to Dave and Guy on 1st and 2nd place.

[MintTrav]

He"s got "The Tod"!

I didn"t notice until now that the winning hand was one that has gone down in APAT history.

(With apologies to Brian Yates and Andy Duncan, who have been on the wrong end of it in the past.)

[Scousebill]

Well done to all who cashed and just wish I could of been playing myself...
Can"t wait for Manchester....
