Just coming to terms with the medal win - so chuffed.
Big thanks, as always, to Des, Tighty, Leigh, Neil (pretty sure I saw Carl being a runner for Tighty on Saturday night as well), the dealers, valets, TD and Grosvenor, for yet another fantastic APAT event.
Had an absolute blast all the way through the two day event. It was great to catch up with so many familiar faces and friends.
Congratulations to all the money winners, but especially all at the final table - it really was a pleasure playing at the same table as you guys.
As John pointed out, this was Brian"s first live tournament, and to finish second was a fantastic achievement - well done fella, hope we"re going to see you again at future events.
John was a well deserved winner. Some very good aggressive play and reads quickly established him as one of the class acts at the table, I really didn"t want to tangle with him
Well done John, and all the best in the GUKPT event later this year.
My third place was/is a major highlight to me. Ever since I started playing APAT events in December 2006, all I ever wanted was a medal - money comes, and money goes, but the medal will always be there as a reminder of this last weekend.
Thanks again to everyone involved in organising this event, and a big thank you to all those messages of support I received via the forum and text - that was a huge sacrifice, Micky and Ailsa, giving up the x factor just to rail me, I had tears in my eyes when I read that text
Until next time......
