Well, excellent inaugural Apat/Betfair T.V. weekend. The spirit was once again spectacular, flippant very very Funny
Congrats to The Mole and Eck, heads up from heaven
Massive well overdue congratulations to a fabulous guy Dave(Allinbob)/(do you know what i folded there?) Green for taking down the Omaha, v Another cracking Lad Dai Llewelyn, who himself saved a bloodbath of a heads up battle by knocking out Brendan, yet another......... oh sod it there all good lads, in third spot.
Congratulations and very well played To Gareth, Karl and Jack. Really enjoyed playing at your table. Special mention to Martin who bubbled the medals, very unlucky as he had shown the aggression and knowledge to take the table initiative, extremely unlucky on your exit hand. WP.
Good F.T. Darren a threat as always, Bob also even as a short stack, and sitting to my right was not a welcome sight.
No, he"s not ugly, he"s gooooood.
Martin(Wilson), Andy and Mathew i didn"t know too much about, but obviously all played very well and congrats on F.T"ing.
Excellent work From Des, Richard and Leigh, very well played to the Tower and co, long day lads w.p. I wasn"t trying to damage your lead lead really, I am a spark
Maylis, what can you say about Maylis? Well having been knocked off the Final Table, it"s not a nice feeling and then Your faced with this vision of just how poker should be
. It may not have looked so, but i was smiling inside, she did a very good job, and eased the pain. Thank You
The casino i felt very comfortable in, the surroundings and atmosphere were so pleasant, and staff were excellent towards us Apaters anyway. The food was of a high standard, so happy on that score.
Now then, the weekend moments?? I also witnessed the man out of his wheelchair, with an egg sized lump on his head.
Once re-seated he continued to try to climb the walls, i think alchohol had destroyed his memory and his cognition for the reason that there was actually a wheelchair there. If only the camera"s were there, a definite £250 payday
Funny Comments far too numerous to mention. Returning to Premiere inn Sat/Sun A.m. Only 100 yards, through Girls too drunk in Shoes far too high to stand in, let alone walk while Pmissed. As Rudders, Jack and i turned the bend, only to see blue flashing lights and over a dozen of Our boys in blue at our Hotel.NNNoooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Turned out it was all over, but that thought of not getting to bed
I called a short stack all in, on the F.T. bubble. Only to find that the dealer had miscalled the chip requirement to make the call. Having already bet and getting 3-1 i called. It wasn"t 17k more to call it was 40k
That"ll teach me not to trust dealer and take ownership myself.
Omaha Hilo limit 51 cards, no :as: was Absolutely F#@king Hilarious. Funnily enough it comprised of all your manic players. All Irish and Welsh as it happens :
The comments, jokes and Mick-taking you just had to be there. Dave green hadn"t yet realised he had actually won the omaha tourney. Proof, he stated pot, no not on every hand, but on every street, at least twice. This he was doing blind and came out a big winner. Table anti clockwise Dealr(me), Allinbob, Brendan, Dai Llewelyn, Colin, John and Team Leigh. Obviously hilo was too difficult for our champion Apater, he needed to recruit the help of the M.E. f.t.ers, when we asked him to put 4 bb"s in, Leigh looked shocked and very hurt, so we just let him continue. Didn"t want to see a grown man cry. Fair do"s he tipped me £3 afterwards even though i was harsh with him, (Don"t get the chance very often in all Honesty). He did win £10 on the session though, we love you really Leigh
Great to see old faces again, and some new ones. Good old laugh with the brummies (bcpcdvdtcvdict)poker club.
That bloke from the midlands, somewhere? he kept following me and going on about a bronze medal. I thought he thought he was in Chester, looking for roman titbits. Turns out, so his helper in the wheelchair told me, it was a bronze medal won in some Apat stud competition. If anyone knows his identity please let me know, he dropped a £25 chip into my drink. 20% to person who identifies him.
Great big Thank You for all the support, both at the venue and all online, it really does make it all the more worthwhile.
Thanks again, and hope to c u all again soon
Cheers
Paul Mac
