Sorry to say it remains an attempt. James (Royal Flush) was forced to give up after 66 hours of continuous heads up play. He needed to go for 72 to break the world record. However, James did fantastically well. Last I heard he was over 400 up - considering most of the games were for a fiver thats pretty good. Made some money for poker4charity, which we all like to see.
I played him three times during the attempt and shamefully he won all three of them. In one he outflushed me, in another he outstraighted me. In my defence, I was a little bit tired yesterday, having not had a very good night's sleep, hehe.

Yes, I'm at all the Grosvenor festivals watching (cos I'm barred from playing there :-( ), but recently I've dispensed of the blue square t-shirts for a whistle and flute. I do have a quite a few of those t-shirts - never worn one twice in a row though.
James had to give up cos of the effects of sleep deprivation - on Sunday afternoon he said the flops looked like bags of luggage being placed outside a hotel room door. However, I'm told he said he had thoroughly enjoyed last few hours of play and was about to guess at Miss Scarlett in the drawing room with the lead piping before they called time on him. I'm sure he would have been right.
Tikay, having beaten me three times already, the though of playing me again might just have kept him going - if'd been there then...

bluesquare and grovenor are in the same group, and as such they really cant be seen to having a house player on there table just incase yogi has to make a ruling and a punter complains
also as blue square is the sponsor of all grovenor events then we cant have the sponsor running off with all the money

Yes we have spoken briefly Foxy, but not had a proper chat/drink yet. Will do some time soon I'm sure.
Tis true what ironside says - I used to get away with playing in Grosvenor card rooms, until Rank head office found out :-(
I did try to plead my case to let me carry on playing including the 'I add value to these tournaments' (cos I never win Tikay) line, but even that didn't work.
Now if anyone wants to stage another fancy dress tournament I would fancy my chances. 1/1 for me in fancy dress comps. hehe. I got a trophy n'all - but it has since been dropped :-(

It wasn't even me who dropped this one. Mrs AlrightJack did that when dusting the flat. She claims it was an accident, but I'm not so sure. The 'ahh, you and your ******* pokah' comment she made the night before might have been the clue.
