We are gutted and elated at the same time.

Gutted, as Brendan played really well but got pipped at the last, but true to his nature kept fighting back.

Elated, as a mere number of weeks ago, Brendan was almost not with us.

The guy is a true legend.

Unlucky Brendan very well played.

No luck Laz looks like you went absolutely card dead at the wrong time and seeing as you"ve not seen aces since 1973 you were due some.

LeKnave what can I say it was never going to happen on only 5 hours sleep!!


Well played all again and Brendan and Leknave looked very smart in their blonde T-shirts at the final table, unfortunately Kev forgot his old one for Laz :)

Great comeback by Jacques and a deserved winner despite his naughty needling.

But Brendan was my pick and I"m gutted he lost. His comparison of me to the actress with the big boobies was the highlight of my year.

Brilliantly organised and directed, I hope to play in another if only to be interviewed by Mrs. Colclough again.

Thanks to everyone and see you all in the future.

(play within your limits)

Nice reporting Tighty, great read. Unlucky Brendan, no disrespect to Mr Kieft who I"m sure will represent the APAt on the EPT magnificently but its a shame that a APAt legend like Brendan did not win. The first four people I ever met at a live poker event were Bainn, Helen, Glenn and Brendan, how lucky am I!. The fifth was Ironside but I guess thats what you call variance!

Having just arrived back at the office in sunny Chester, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of the APAT team & staff a the Fitz for organising another fantastic event. My performance was pants........but I still enjoyed myself? Something about these APAT weekends! (And Guinness)
Congratulations to Jacques on his victory..............but the real winner for me was Brendan, a gent of the highest order and a fantastic performance!! With the number of outs you had on that last hand post flop, I fancied you to take it down.....them bloody poker gods eh!

I"m looking forward to the next event already......cheers all for a top weekend.

Thanks to everyone involved with Apat, thoroughly enjoyed the tournament - first session of day 2 was one of those times when everything just "clicks" into place, and every decision you make is the right one. It couldnt last though....

Ended up a bit card dead at the final table, not the best time for it to happen. Maybe shoulda got a bit more aggressive, but who can say for sure.

I will be back for more...

Structure was great, good to still be able to play poker on the final.

Thanks to the rail on here and at the casino!

The real prize wasn"t the £600, but a blondepoker.com t-shirt from Kev. Ship it.
