Pleased with my first APAT final table and happy with 7th after going into day two with just 8 big blinds and being on the table with all the biggest stacks (and the best players, and eventual winners).
Managed to run it up to 150k and if my queens had held up against Carls AK it may have all been very different but c"est la vie. Although he was running so good i should have folded even if i"d looked down to see aces!
Pleasure to play with all of you and congratulations to Gareth on the win. I was sat beside him for a good few hours at the end of day one, all of day two and on the final table. Nice guy and played well. Well done to Carl, 2nd place from down to 4k in chips is awesome! If proof were needed that "chip and a chair is true", Carl is living proof!
A big thanks to my fellow BCPC team mates for railing me, as always had a great laugh with you guys. Always a pleasure and makes the APAT tournaments all the more fun. And the guy in the wheelchair was hilarious.
I feel i must mention (in a Trippier stylee) that as well as making the final table in the hold "em i also outplayed my teammates in the Omaha, finishing in 12th and almost making the final table..... without actually playing! Just wish i"d known i was still in when we went on a break before the final table. I"d have sat down and done a Hansen! All-in, all-in, all-in.
Many thanks to the APAT team for again putting on a great tournament. Fantastically organised as always. Can"t wait until London. If only for the amusing commentary in the background whilst trying to make a decision. Particularly, Leighs "and Carl has raised, the action is back on the original raiser Andy Overton who"s looking a little sick". Surprisingly, i folded.
Oh, and last but not least, apologies to Tony for not mentioning during my exit interview his bronze in the stud. I"ll be sure to mention it in my winners interview in London!
