Radar alert .... quickly scrolling through recent posts and this jumped out at me

Decided to play the £20 double chance at the G tonight, this seems to be the most popular tournament of the week attracting 38 runners tonight.
One of the reasons for this is, over at the Gala is their £10 rebuy and that can get a bit manic, so a few of the Gala regs pop over for a game.
My opening table is ok got 2 solid players to my right and the rest a mixture of
Social players and donators, I include myself as a social player not being disparaging to the other people there.
The first few levels are fairly sedate I manage to chip up a bit playing in position and c betting which are getting through without much resistance, I raise utg with 9d 7d and get 1 caller in the big blind flop comes down 9h, 7h, 2h, I bet out get called and a fourth heart on the turn slows the action down, he puts a tiny bet in on the brick of a river and i pay him off,he has an 8 high flush which he had flopped mbn, he tells me he always sees a flop if he is in the big blind, no matter what size the bet, noted sir and in the memory bank.
After the break I only have 10 bigs left so looking for a spot to shove, utg min raises I have JJ, I shove, player behind reshoves and original raiser calls the all in, it"s QQ, v AK v JJ, flop comes down AKQ, some how I manage to hit a flush on the river so triple up and am now in a comfortable position.
I get to the final table and the bubble bursts so it"s my 3rd cash on the trot at the G and after a bit of luck winning a flip with K 10 v 99 I have about 70k, my last hand is a bit of cooler but I played it wrong, I should of raised pre as the villain is fairly tight and usually fairly easy to play against, I limp with J 10, to see a flop of 10, 10, 8, eventually it"s all in and he has 10 8 for the flopped boat, nh sir, was limping and betting any flop and it probably gets through 90% of the time, still no big deal, I got lucky with the JJ earlier, swings and roundabouts.
I am up £1100 this week at the G, which has come at the right time as this will be paying for the Kitchen to get sorted, appliances arrived today, followed by work tops next week.
I managed to get a hotel sorted for next week, will be staying at Britania in the city centre, managed to get it for £43 inc breakfast which is a bargain as normally we have to get a disabled access room and this is normally around £85, so will be travelling on the Sunday morning and will not have to drive home the same day, hopefully can have a deep run down there, looking foreward to it.

Betty has the potential to become legendary
On the cash table on Sunday she flat called on the river with the absolute nuts. Something like J9 on a Q 10 8 6 3 board.
None of the other players at the table seemed to see anything in this and it was obviously not a collusion issue, but it made me smile.
As did the thought of Dr D asking to chop £480 five ways. Did you deal before he left the room? I"m not one for deals that far out, but if it wound up da Donk I might be more easily persuaded
