Thanks guys, I look forward to this every year and might actually get back to some sort of sleeping pattern after some late night railing.
Iv been close the last couple of years so its good to finally get a win.
It's so hard to try and select a few players for your team that other members want have and I think ultimately the inclusion of Ben Yu was my secret weapon with him being only selected on one other team, the guy has a phenomenal wsop cashing record.
A big thank you to Carl and John for the excellent organisation and updates and also to the APAT team for the added value seat.
Hopefully put a few faces to the names at the upcoming goliath and Season 11.
Cheers

Quite an inexperienced group at the end, with five of the final table having a total of one previous cash between them. They were quite well dressed, though.

Unfortunately for Debbie, Silver forgot all her pre-match advice and dusted off a huge stack to finish 45th. "Don't overplay AQ", she specifically told him, but he proceeded to do exactly that, losing half his stack by betting every street once he hit an A on the Flop and even shoving for value on the River.......against AK. I don't think his manager would have made that mistake.
So 27 players remain from 10 countries. There is a good chance of a new country winning the Main, as only 10 of the 27 are American and only four of the others (two Germans and two Canadians) are from countries that have won it before. Britain (3 players) and France (4) have the best chance of making it a non-American victory.
Here's the kind of winner we would like to see:
John Hesp (UK) - 20.9m chips
