So the Galway trip comes to an end. Was lots of fun. Really enjoyed mingling with some new people, our group is sometimes kinda cliquey so it was cool to get to know some heroes of the circuit a bit better.
Highlights include:
Partying with one of the all time legends of poker.

And Gus Hansen!
Playing Guess the Boobs with Jake and Firaldo. Snapchat ftw, I screenshotted this one cos it's so random how she came to be here...

Awesome Thai meal with really random lineup of people: repping Scotland was Firaldo and 3 of his mates. Repping UK was me grafton Cody martins adeniya and kosh. Mad Marty was even there! Ben Warrington is a UK/Spanish merge but he was in the UK side of the flip (we did England vs Scotland first) England loses so it's me vs the English boys for one of the biggest meal flips I've ever done.
Now in the Nottingham poker scene I might be considered one of the luckier ones. But when I'm vs these guys, Im more on the Paul Grumitt end of the scale!
Jake and Grafton fade obv and I'm heads up with Ben, whom I shared a table with in EPT Prague when he was allin on the bubble. He went on to come 4th for 250k. So the writing was on the wall for some Goulder pain - and indeed I did lose.
Morale not to be dampened, it was free bar! Free bar in Ireland! Messy times ahead....

Sick night. And I managed to fade a hangover and get a full Sunday grind in like a true pro!
Off to Edinburgh now. Peace
