How did you do in the tournament? Did you get any help from the poker experts? Or did you play your hand solo?
I think I was 4th of 28, for a massive £30. So got my entry fee back. That just leaves the cost of the return train journey to London, Station Car Park & a night in a Hotel as my defecit, so I played a SNG to recoup my exs. Went out first hand when my squueeze play with 2-2 got called in two spots but hit the set, & got trumped by TWO over-sets - 3's & 9's!
Decent line-up - Kara Scott, Dr Tom Sambrook, Nick Wealthall, Johnny Gould, Simon "Suffolk Fours" Young, Norman Pace, Bev Pace, Miami Vic, (The God of all things in Feltham, Staines & bits of Colnbrook), Lord Ward, Skalie & Mrs Skalie, plus assorted Producers, Assistant Producers, Floor Managers in silly hats, & Cameramen & women.
Great fun. Gotta be said, they do look after "the Team" incredibly well, we had a lovely buffet and a tab at the Bar. Can't be bad. I crawled out of bed at 6am & was on the 6.25 back to Derbyshire. Brekkie on the train - sheer decadence.
