Did Alan Deuchars cash?
Daisy busted out in 14th...
Sigh tell him perhaps calling open shoves with

may help in future.......

We did take £100 off the top for the buuble so he would have got his buy-in back. Derek was one of the 13 in the chop.
Geo.
I must have been 15th then...i noticed the scoreboard was showing the wrong number of players once we were in the 20s but i did a head count at what i thought was 16 and 2 had gone before me...must have been 17 left at that point then, my own stupidity (a thing i have a surplus of)...was told only 10 paid though (more stupidity, should have check that maself) so wi half my stack going in on the bb next hand and 4 to beat to get to ft, figured kt was as good as i was going to get, might have folded that round in the hope of someone else taking the drop or the remote chance of a better hand in the blinds...nah, prob not....
And i only folded jj cos i wanted keep the HUGE chunk of eck's chips that i'd just received...did i say thanks eck? ... thanks...

(and but for Eck's slick string bet maneouvre i wid have had more lol)
Please note, no lambasting came from this direction...i wis oot the door anyway and just read about this tonight but understand why geo took the deal, not the best of structures for that stage, really was anybody's to get lucky and win or more likely, unlucky and lose (seemed to see a lot of pushes wi rag-rag, see what yev done eck, yev started a trend :-)) but suppose the time management for the casino isn't easy there, last year they chucked us out when it was closing so it ended in a chipcount in the 200 wi 5 left, i think most people would prefer to play to a winner so it was maybe an attempt to achieve that? (naive internet player here...)
Bit surprised at 2nd agreeing to it but there ye go...
I wasn't playing it as a satellite but being so short stacked, even knowing that 2 good hands could take me to probably near enough chip lead, i would have taken a grand and been happy, 500 to the missus and buy myself into the me with the other 5 :-) i can see where cambo et al are coming from, didn't think i would ever agree to a 13 way chop but then i was very short stacked at last 2 tables :-)
if i was in geo's position, getting the seat on top would make me jump at that as well...good risk management geo...gl in me...and wp...
mantis....rofl funny....
