yes. Had a great WSOP last year, and results at home since

Game has come on more than a ton.

Good luck to him today

Played with Wattsy a few times, loud and game come on leaps and bounds, sure he will do well today

Thought so. Met him @ Binions last year, he seems to have a flair for poker, & he deffo livened the table up with his chatter, which was, I hasten to add, all good-natured, none of the spiteful stuff. Not sure how he'd handle a beat - always an interesting clue to character - because I departed before he did. I had an appointment elsewhere, obv.

Did anyone see Dixie's interview in the bar after he busted? He was in some form

Told a story that he never had enough for his buy in even after having 300 quid on a 11/2 shot horse and borrowed a monkey of his mate to make up his entry - Great story to come away with 160k.

He seems a bit of a reckless player but i suppose that is the beauty of tournament poker, anyone can get a big touch if they run well.

Missed that !
Is there anyone that could put it up on this thread ?

If Dixie had won, we might as well have all given up.

Congrats to the winner.

Every final has em Keith and to be fair to him he is good company at the table ( not sure I could put up with him in my regular game ). I hope people are saying the same about me this weekend
