Davey Newth beats Dave Kinston in a side match as AJ holds off AT all in preflop.

Good confidence boosting start for GB as we hear a cry of ALL IN......................

The team have now left the Fitzwilliam to go around the pub for a well deserved drink (Irish Casinos donot allow alcohol!!!!). This leaves me a bit of time to upload some photos, video and fill in with some detail that it was not possible to add earlier.

Before I do that I would like extend my warmest thanks to the following;

TeamGB - every single player and Colchester Kev made this a special event - Thankyou

Team Ireland - It couldn't have been a battle without you - Respect

Dave Kingston - from a simple chat on the phone one Sunday morning we have started something that is sure to be massive.

Luke and ALL the staff at the Fitzwilliam Club - Simply The Best

BlondePoker for allowing us to promote the event - where better

To ALL the supporters who have offered best wishes and followed the action - you were our 12th player
.
To BlueSq Poker for sponsoring TeamGB and to Paddy Power for sponsoring Ireland - making a difference

...... and finally to Angie for doing the bulk of the work the GB end without being able to attend the event herself and for being my strength when things get tough xxxxxxx
