Des "APAT" DuffyWhere do I start ?
Des has a passion for poker, the players and making sure APAT is done right. If you don"t believe me, make time to talk to him at the next APAT event you are at, because I guarantee he will make time to talk to you.
Bear in mind though he will be running around with video camera in one hand, digital camera over his shoulder, giving the National trophy and medals a quick polish and rumour has it even stepping out back to prepare the buffet. (Is there no end to this man"s talent)

You must be prepared for his post-tournament interviews. They can go something like this :-

DesD: Wow, that"s unlucky.

I bet out, the big blind raised. I reraised, the big blind shoved all-in. I call with three quarters of my stack in the middle. He shows ac qc.
DesD: Quad Kings, that"s fantastic.
PlayerX: It was until the turn showed :as: and the river was ah
DesD: Oh, now please don"t cry. You"ve had a good time, haven"t you ?
