I need some dollars....  Does anyone have any excess on a reasonable exchange rate please ?

This was actually one of THREE incidents that we are aware of that happened over the two days, all happening in the Oriel Room at Brighton Casino involving Mr Patten.

The second was when he called the clock on Luke Smith (TheDoc) after under two minutes when he had to decide wether to call an all in holding pocket tens which he raised pre-flop and got one caller, with a queen on the flop against a player that had been on his table for over six hours. Luke (Doc) was clearing playing back through his mind other calls made by the player before making his decision. There were just two tables left at this stage, so the money was coming closer.......

Luke (Doc) was stunned by the call of the clock by Mr Platten and made his point VERY clear to Mr Platten who appoligised. His actually words were "I unreservedly appoligise"

The other incident is when he called a bloke a "Scouse ***"   The '***' is what the arguement was about - the player thought he said "git" while Mr Platten said he said 'bloke' or 'man', I can't remember.    I must say that that incident was incredibly well handled by the TD, Guy Young - she stepped in between them almost instantly, defused the situation as much as she could, and stayed standing between them until the other guy left, which was some time !

Luke (Doc) was speaking to Mr Pattens friend who travels with him, who said that Mr Pattens is "always upsetting people, but is the first to appoligise - its what he does - and it works for him."

Then of course there was the minor incident, that Tikay has already pointed out, of asking for Luke's (Doc) chip count while holding pocket aces before calling - this was on the final table with only seven left.

Both Luke and I didn't hear the abuse thrown at Tracy although we were in the room at the time at another table - and we suspect that if it had been heard then players WOULD of stood up to him. We spoke to Tracey the next morning as they were staying in the same hotel as us - she was clearly upset when she recalled the story.

It IS a shame of course that this happens in poker - or any sport - or in life for that matter. It is VERY difficult to overcome your emotions when this happens and of course probably ruins your tournement. Some people just don't learn.

Good luck in your next tournement Tracey - I hope you get his table again - it will be interesting !

Slightly better than you James - now, when exactly was it that you got knocked out.......... 1st was it ??

Hehehehe

Luke was knocked out with trip nines against a river flush draw, and I gave my chips to Lane (unfortunetly). He split first five ways getting about £700

Still thinking about Blackpool - will let you know.
