So as promised earlier a continuation of my exploits this afternoon before the tournament.

As you may have noticed in the last picture of my tour of Tallinn earlier, there were some archery targets. Who can resist? for 150 Kroon I got 10 arrows, about £10, and I got to look semi cool for 10 mins  

So here are the pictures of my archery exploits;



Loading the bow, notice on my left arm a groovy arm protector and on my right hand leather finger protectors.

Team APAT power right here



And again



And a shot of the targets, no close up because my aim was poor (but I had fun nonetheless)



Good fun

[TightEnd]

Sole survivor Matthew Ward is struggling on 20,000 and looking for a spot here

Maybe 1-1.5 hours play left as we play towards the money tonight


Fortunately, my bed is five floors directly above me.

[TightEnd]

The current TD is Joel

Joel is newly back in Estonia, having worked in England for a while

"Where?" I asked him, and received the answer

"Grosvenor Birmingham"


I am not sure I knew there WAS a Grosvenor in Birmingham, for poker anyway.....

[TightEnd]

So unsurprisingly play has slowed down a little. Average stack is 25x bb. Players have been going for 10 hours and are within sniffing distance of the money.....


and I am going to keep prattling on until someone replies!
