Good news for all you Tikay lovers out there.
An almost immediate double through to 40K!!

American lady raises and one gets flat caller.  Tikay smells value and lumps in his last 18K.
US lady talks and dwells before flipping a coin which for some reason means she has to call'!!

Flat caller leaves the action.

Tikay 10-10 (yes, we were expecting 4-8!)
Loud mouthed American Lady A-Q

Board shows 10 high and Tikay is back in the game!

Is there a suggestion in the air that I may chirp somewhat when in receipt of 'the dough'? - well! - your probably right!

Busted out about 26th/27th - had nearly 30k in chips at one stage but chapter 1 in the "how i ran over the table book" had only just begun when i got ousted by a combo of bad beats and unsuccessful coin flips. - never mind! - not sure who won but i know Tikay is on it

later.

thanks Ralph!
maybe even +2
lol

cheers as well craig - see you soon! - about 3 weeks i think til i am up there again

Just had to read all the coverage to make sure it wasn't a dream! - thanks to everyone for your support and kind wishes, nice to have so many people funking for you! Tikay was a star during the event, giving me constant confidence boosters and pep talks. - he should get a job as a mr motivator (on second thoughts.... Tikay in a jump suit and bum bag!! - maybe not eh?!)

Simon - you are a legend, Blondie should send you a chunk of his prize for the phone and internet bill.

Blondie - pleasure to play with you, next time lets hope its a different result. I had a feeling whoever could get Mr maniac Singh's chips would be able to press home the advantage. - great game.

Good luck guys, see some of you gala boys in the near future

Junior

Nice updates guys!
I'll have a sheffield report for you over the weekend.  Been there all week so far. - Can't win a bean!!

They all start at 8pm.  I would advise getting there early.  It WILL sell out.  I have already bought in for the first one a few weeks ago. See you there Ralph
Jnr.

thanks Lucky! - i'll buy you a pint thursday.

thanks Ralph - be good to see you down there again soon.
You will have to get your name down for the gala notts golf day later this year.  - details to be advised nearer the time.

But just a hint while you wait ... first place went to the good looking young scratch golfer....  Greg i think his name is 

oh.. and that puts him top of the gala poker league now . . . . . chirp chirp

 
yup. mashed em up.
report will be up on the site soon - Tikay had to write it as mine would have been way too bias.
