i think this is a great example that 12 months is a long time in poker! here are two results from the grosvenor in brighton around 12 months apart
Place Name Prize
1 Dave Smith (United Kingdom) £95,100
2 Neil Carr (United Kingdom) £50,300
3 Rajesh Modhal (United Kingdom) £33,600
4 Albert Sapiano (United Kingdom) £24,400
5 Roberto Romanello (Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom) £18,300
6 Mazhar Nawab (Sheffield, England, United Kingdom) £15,200
7 James Dempsey AKA "Flushy" (Brighton, United Kingdom) £12,200
8 John Exley (United Kingdom) £9,200
9 Barney Boatman (Hendon, United Kingdom) £6,100
Is this like a "well"-style thread except we can all throw insults down the well at flushy?
What a great idea!
Ok, my first question is...nevermind the buyin differential over 12 months, after gettin pwned by the honey monster in Brighton, how did you find the balls to show your face on the live scene again?
2nd question. At one time you were known as Europe's foremost bubble dodger. When you started your live career you tore into the european circuit with gusto, putting together an impressive string of "just-in-the-money" places...In fact one of your results shows such keen bubble dodging you even managed to win LESS than your initial buyin! Top notch!

Ignore the haters I say.
Good well.
