I posted this on my blog earlier, I'll post it here too as it pertains to the wonderful people at blondepoker.com

Tonight, at 18:00 GMT, the EPT Deauville qualifier began. I had won a seat to this qualifier via a smaller satelite, costing a mere 33 euros.

At 21:23 GMT, this tournament finished, with this hand:

Game #1476180984: Hold'em NL (300/600) - 2006/01/21 - 21:17:24 (UK)
Table "EPT Deauville Final 1724591 - 1" Seat 6 is the button.
Seat 3: mikkyT05 (43732 in chips)
Seat 5: Stejill (12365 in chips)
Seat 6: Ithicus (41403 in chips)
mikkyT05: posts the ante 75
Stejill: posts the ante 75
Ithicus: posts the ante 75
mikkyT05: posts small blind 300
Stejill: posts big blind 600
----- HOLE CARDS -----
dealt to mikkyT05 [:kd: :kc:]
Ithicus: raises to 1800
mikkyT05: raises to 7200
Stejill: raises to 12290 and is all-in
Ithicus: folds
mikkyT05: calls 5090
----- FLOP ----- [:three clubs: :: ::]
----- TURN ----- [:three clubs: :: ::][::]
----- RIVER ----- [:three clubs: :: :: ::][::]
----- SHOW DOWN -----
Stejill: shows [:ad: :qd:] (A Pair of Eights, Ace high)
mikkyT05: shows [:kd: :kc:] (Two Pairs, Kings and Eights, Seven high)
mikkyT05 collects 26605 from Main pot
----- SUMMARY -----
Total pot 26605 Main pot 26605 Rake 0
Board [:three clubs: :: :: :: ::]
Seat 3: mikkyT05 (small blind) showed [:kd: :kc:] and won (26605) with Two Pairs, Kings and Eights, Seven high
Seat 6: Ithicus (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Ooooh baby, I'm going to France! There where 2 seats available, and 3rd place took 987 Euros.

At this moment in time, I feel ecstatic. I can't believe I managed to play so well. For the record, I would like to thank blondepoker.com and especially Ironside without whom I never would have bothered entering this event. I came 3rd in the blondepoker.com Omaha tournament at Littlewoods over xmas after Ironside dropped all his chips on me, netting £160 and a bottle of champagne. If I had not won that, I would not have had any money at a crypto site with which to enter this satellite and I doubt I would have bothered depositing.

So my thanks to blonde for organising it and also thanks to Littlewoods for adding extra cash into the tournament.

At this moment in time, I am finding it hard to think about the biggest tournament of my career so far. Although I am very happy, my thoughts are with my wife who is currently in hospital whilst doctors struggle to find out what the matter is. If she is still there when this event takes place, I'm not sure if I will want to go.

Hoozah, congratulations Mikky.

New you'd go on to greater things than being a bubble boy.

Good luck in Frog, knock 'em dead.

I'm really happy you got this seat (and not just because it means you'll be off the forum for a few days Cool )

These things usually turn out to be nothing.

I hope so too.... I'm trying not to think about it which makes me rather more daft than usual. But thats my way of coping. I know I come accross wrong when I do it. But if I'm not hyperactive, I'd break down into a manic depressive state.

Shes having problems with her liver. They can't work out the problem. They thought it was gall stones but it isn't so now they are clueless. Typical NHS.
