Hi there honeybadg!
I also played at the International on Wednesday- so probably played against you! (Not sure who you are- but I was the guy with the manchester accent- long hair and brown cord flares!)
It was my first ever time playing there- don"t spend much time in London, but was stuck down there with work, so decided to head down there to see what all the fuss was about!
I played the £10 rebuy sat to the £200- building to a massive stack early, and only needed to add on! Sitting comfortably as massive chip leader after the add-on period, i steddily built chips until I ran my KK into KJ all-in pre to lose to the the only guy who could cripple me- then proceeded to loose my 88 to AK of the same guy, to go out a really dissapointing 11th!
As i"d only spent £20, I decided to buy into the £200 but never really got going- and went out about 21st.
Then the highlight- bought in for £100 on the 1:2 cash table- 5 hours later left with £1,212 for my largest ever cash table profit!
A great set-up there and a really good atmosphere- will definatley try to play there again in the future!

Things you seldom hear ...
"... but I was the guy with the manchester accent - long hair and brown cord flares!"
I was wearing my green cord jacket (with leather buttons!) and a grey top, glasses and hair ... my accent has been cited as anything from Norweigan to Irish ...
I don"t think we did "cross swords" - but give me a shout when you are heading back - I am out of London next week - but I expect I will look to play it the following week.
Great cash result.
I have to say I hardly play cash (except at "my" home game) ... but have the opinion that with any run of cards there is a lot of money to be made there ... as no-one will believe you!
I used to play at the old Gutshot (essentially the same) ...
Wednesday was my debut at the club ...
Looking forward to my next visit.
