Inspired by Dwayne’s impromptu WPT updates I thought I would do a one off trip report for the upcoming Luton 25/25 on April 11th-15th.
I played the one day special yesterday and was lucky enough to win one of the two last man standing tickets so have got into the 25/25 (£225) for £10. The other ticket winner was Chandra Khajuria who most of you will know if not you can google the legend. Was sat next to him for a few hours and he is such a pleasure to play with, was next to him when we got told we had won the tickets so we had a little fist bump.
I know that quite a few of you either use to be regulars at Luton or have played there over the years and obviously a few blondes still get down there.
Rather than doing just a trip report of how it’s going for me i thought it would be great to try and get a few updates from other blondes who are playing, so feel free to add your own updates as often as you want. If possible I’ll try and get some photos loaded up (I’ll have to have a little practice and some guidance please). Might be able to take a few of you down memory lane.
Obviously there are plenty of tremendous wordsmiths on here and I’m not one of them so apologies in advance for any spelling errors or misuse of words.
Not sure what day one I’m playing yet, however would be nice to get a list of blondes that will be playing so by all means post and I’ll collate as we go.
If I get to play the Easter Beast this weekend I might do a trail run just not 100% that I want to travel to the Vic on bank holiday Monday for day two, can guarantee there will be railway works and dreaded bus replacement services so not really my idea of a fun bit of travel.
I’ll make sure i post my table and seat number so that other blondes that don’t know me personally can say hi and we will get a picture just to add some extra zest to the narrative.
Let’s see where this takes us.

I didnt have any, I only really know Tom to say hello and not really shared a table that often with him, I’ll see if I can get a picture with him, his sweets and we know we will have done well if I make it as far as a hand written sign, 😆 |

Chandra and Lalit will outlive us all. Chandra always used to tell me about his trips to Finland but would get bored of a conversation he started and give up mid sentence.
I don't half miss playing in Luton. I live in Liverpool now and the casinos here are basically bars with one £2 Blackjack table and video roulette.
Good luck in the 25/25. I would play one if I could but Grovesnor still won't give me my membership back after going on 3 years.

Pretty certain it was only la couple of years ago that Chandra won the main event in Finland, £70 odd k I think (Hendon mob would be more accurate). Gives us all hope of scooping a nice one. |
