Yes, that"s why you already got them. Sorry that I put your name halfway down the list. I"ll try to remember to put it at the top in future so you don"t have to search for it.

Damn - I feared that might be the answer

Lucky old Fandango. Moorman and Elky both just miss the final table. They both made the classic mistake of trying to win all ten points before they had secured the five for ninth, forgetting all of Steve and Richard"s instructions in the heat of the moment and each accepting a flip that he ended up losing.

Gareth and Dann are also rueing Moorman"s blow-up, especially Dann, who shares the Moorman/Deadman combination with Steve.

In other news, Deadman is in freefall in #32, currently 19/24.

Not the first time someone has asked how Carl runs so good.

Yes, we have another bracelet. We were guaranteed it once the tournament got to heads-up, as we had both players. Carl, Debbie, Adam Sharples and Paxo were backing Mercier, while Dann and Steve were with Deadman, so this was an important result at the top. It ended with a, frankly, very questionable all-in pre-flop with 66 v KQ when they had 65 BBs v 49 BBs. As Steve says, Carl runs good. But what"s new?

Good old Jason, takes a few days off to visit a friends wedding. Comes back to Vegas obviously riddled with guilt that he is letting down his faithful fans who have entrusted their faith in his poker ability.

Was the only correct outcome IMHO  


Now if only that Allen Kessler can convert his top 10 stack in the HORSE into a FT or Bracelet so he rewards me with my faith in him!!

JOHN......... I"m keeping a very close eye on you as this is the second time you"ve under changed my team on points. Lol
Jason Mercier is my captain so I"m due a massive 20pts not 2 for event 32

You"ve got the points on my spreadsheet; it"s in transferring the scores to my post that something went wrong.

With also having both Selbst and Bakes in #33, you have moved right up level with Steve in second place.

Top of the table is:
54 Carl
49 Steve
49 Barrie
44 Debbie
43 Paxo
40 Richard
40 Tom F
37 George
37 Simon B
37 Chris
36 Simon L

I"m halfway between Portsmouth and London at the moment - will post a complete scores update later.

After all that, #34 was a complete non-event for us.

Ok peeps we have finally got all the money in the kitty £230.

As most of you have replied to your PM the general consensus is that the majority of you prefer to spread the love so to speak.. So a decision has been made to award cash for top 3!! as follows.

1. £130 + APAT National seat.. and more importantly BRAGGING RIGHTS!!

2. £70 + kudos for not being quite as clever as first place.

3. £30 + Kudos for better than 20 other not quite so good as 1+2

Hope you are all happy with this.

[PokerPax]

Happy with the 1,2,3. Doubt I"ll be involved in receiving any of it, but hey ho.  

Plenty of players left in event 37, including a nice stacked Jake Cody at present.
