The other guy has a name, shame no one could be bothered to find out what it was, think people who make the effort to play in lots of apat events deserve better than this.

Apologies. I was updating the main event, and asked the 3 who approached the update desk to tell me of their finishing places (Darren, Anuerin, and Sharon) how many were paid, and who the 4th placed finisher was. Unfortunately none of them knew, so I assumed the player was a non-APAT member and most likely a casino local, so opted for "the other guy".
In retrospect, not a great choice of words, but absolutely no offence intended.

To expand on Matt's point, quite a lot of effort was made at the time in the sense that everybody involved in the conversation was asked. The 4th place finisher was described to all, the seat number pointed out, the fact that he was also with a couple of familiar faces railing etc. The phrase "the other guy" just came up in that conversation and seemed amusing at the time when the player still could not be identified.
I understand why the term may prevoke a reaction, but a slightly harsh reaction imho
chrish1976:
sorry i think i have over stepped the mark in the way i posted my comments, i was just trying to get my point across that the other guy is not the right term for someone who has just cashed in a apat event, personally i would have hoped that the casino would have been able to help with this matter(could be wrong but i think they took his name when he went to get his ticket for his cash from the poker floor manager). I would like to say sorry to any of the apat staff if i have offended them as that was not my point and nor will it ever be as they do a great job, i just promote the apat to all the people that i know that play poker and want the best for it so it continues. No des it was not me 4th in PLO would be a miracle beyond miracles. For the record i had a great weekend and hope to be playing the next apat whenever i can
Matt D:
Hi Chris,
I totally agree with what you are saying, and no need for you to apologise!
AceOnTheRiver above details the sequence of events. However, I should clearly have taken a quick "time out" from updating the Main Event to get the name of the 4th place finisher (it would only have taken a couple of minutes). But, a combination of being seriously jetlagged and trying not to miss the final few hands in the Main, meant I didn"t.
Will make sure I do this next time though.

Fair post that.
Do you know his name, as Matt could then edit his OP?
