Title: Re: Well done edgascoigne Post by: edgascoigne on August 14, 2012, 04:38:17 PM 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 Kh Ks Vs Kd Tc as the last aggressor on Jd 8d 4c 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: (http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/405265_10100330355931230_289270805_n.jpg) Rounded off a lovely trip with the Father - cheers big man. Oh, and regards shoes off, perhaps I inadvertently channeled the skills of this man! (http://blog.cakepoker.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/8/phil-ivey-loses-big.jpg) |
