This just reminded me of Paul"s post when we announced the added value for the Player of the Championship in this seasons APAT WCOAP.  A very tongue in cheek comment.  :D


Last year I was "Player of the Championship". All I got was this lousy t-shirt!  :D



Seriously though gents, well played! That"s going to be an excellent prize for someone.

P.S. I keep the t-shirt nice and safe, I"ve never even worn it!


I hope he"s happy with this years prize.


What a top bloke.  I"m sure he won"t mind me saying, but he got me to phone him yesterday at around 7:30pm after I picked up a facebook message from him.  It seemed quite urgent, it went straight to voicemail, so I dropped him a text saying to ring when it was convenient.

The phone rings 15 minutes later, and it"s Paul, calm as you like.  After a quick hello, how are you, I ask, "what"s up ?, your message sounded urgent."  His reply,

"Sorry to bother you, it"s just that I used my APAT shirt on the first day, and I"m thinking that if you could get me another shirt, that would be good for hopefully the final day, or even for later on tonight, as I"d like to make sure I promote APAT"

What an absolute legend.  He"s in the middle of the biggest game of his life, and he"s making sure APAT is getting some coverage in the photos.

I just said I"ll phone Des, now get back to the poker.  ;D


Superb performance Paul.

And well done to those that made it down to rail, support and update.  And also, nice one to those on this thread.  It"s days like this that beautifully sum up the answer to the question, "What"s that APAT poker tour thingy all about then ?"


:D

What a fantastic performance and result.

The story from Leigh does not surprise me, this is APAT, nothing else comes close.

Many Congratulations Paul.

Congratulations to APAT and Betfair also. I hope this helps smooth the deal for season 5.  ;D

A couple of pics from the Des Duffy rail from earlier, slightly out of context (and also out of focus  ;D ) now, but posting them up anyway.

 yeh the A6 call would of taken courage, and his shoving range is really wide here, unlucky that he actually woke up with qq. Goes to show that you wanted to go for the win and not ladder, a true poker player. Great result.
