Thank you all for your kind words. Special thanks to Tighty for picking this up and giving me my 15 minutes of fame...!
It wasn't exactly a huge field or a massive score (5k Euros) but it was hugely satisfying in other ways. Father Gascoigne and I had busted the main in the arvo. I went out getting it in with
Vs
as the last aggressor on
against a French lady who called off. Needless to say the "Carreau, Carreau" run out wasn't exactly the board I was hoping for.
On pretty major tilt I joined the Fatman for a pizza and a few beers (he had obv already busted also), and decided to reg the 'Tour Effel' essentially as it would be cheaper than tilting my balls off at 5-5 cash.
Ran well, got a plum draw once into the heads up matches (was 9 handed til last 18, then 6max, then HU from last 8 players) and defeated legendary gambler and Parisian plastic surgeon Michel in the final.
Was well chuffed, as I think this photo probably demonstrates:

Oh, and regards shoes off, perhaps I inadvertently channeled the skills of this man!
