Can I have 2.5% please Keith?

Certainly can. Booked.

A long time since you ventured to the land of canals, Van Gogh and Anne Frank.

Why not pay a return visit?

There's a PLO tournament on the sked.

Thanks Keith.

Yes, it's been a while since I last played MCOP. It used to be THE annual highlight, aside from the WSOP, but then the EPT arrived, & sort of changed the landscape. We used to stay, as did many of the Brits, just across the road, at the Owl Hotel. (The passenger lift @ The Owl was the smallest lift I've ever been in).

I can exactly date my last MCOP trip - November 2003 - as I had, almost accidentally, taken 19.5% of the action of a guy named Ian Oldershaw. Ian, Thewy & I travelled & roomed together in those days. Ian ended up 2nd for €121,000.

Looking at that payout list has prompted so many memories, I may have to start a thread......

This year's Omaha? I was serioiusly tempted when you mentioned it, but having looked t it, I don't much fancy the structure. 2,000 starting chips @ 25-50, & unlimited rebuys + an add-on suggests this will be carnage, a rebuy-fest, & I'd need €1,000 minimum to even consider playing it. I don't think unlimited rebuys in Omaha is a good thing, personally.

Anyway......I'll send you the cash a little nearer the time. MCOP Main Event cash # 7 (& win # 1) beckons, I hope.

Ahhh the good old pay 8% of the field and give 33% to first days .

Come on Tikay, I'll be there to keep control of you in the Dam. People generally feel a little more liberated when over there...

Balderdash and piffle. How have i missed this?!

Free up a 1 ball or 2 ball for a long time fan and loyal punter?

Can't overlook my most loyal mug punter staker.

Plus someone has dropped out, so yes, you can take a piece.

[Junior Senior]

Ive been chucking some stuff out and came across this in a 2007 Masterclassics programme.

Can just make out a stack and very distinctive chip protector.

Guess who :-)

Haha, you should have kept this and posted it the night before Day 1 for motivational purposes.

JJ Hazan should have got a 2 round penalty for wearing an offensive shirt and has anyone seen the Swiss geezer who won it since?

Just squirreled away the loot like a meanie.
