Title: ICHUC TeamGB Announce Team Manager Post by: The Truth on May 30, 2006, 12:59:42 PM After weeks of intense critcism the ICHUC TeamGB Committee have today, finally confirmed their choice of ICHUC TeamGB Manager.
The selection committee have scoured the globe to find the perfect candidate to carry the weight of resposibilty and the expectations of whole nation into the fiercest poker arena in the world against the arch-enemy and inventors of 'sexy poker', Team Ireland. Many famous names were considered, Ivey, Hellmuth and Negreanu amongst them. In the end however, the committee decided to stick with home grown talent. ICHUC TeamGB is proud to announce that it's first team manager is COLCHESTER KEV A spokesman for the committee said 'Kev is the only man for the job. He has the stomach for a battle, an eye for detail and above all knows how a good pie should taste.' Good Luck To Kev and TeamGB on July 8th Title: Re: ICHUC TeamGB Announce Team Manager Post by: Claw75 on May 30, 2006, 01:03:31 PM nice one Kev :)up
