Cyntaf:
Thanks to alll the Apat team, Luton G and Blue Square, for setting up a glorious 4 days of fun and games.
A Great close to the season(excluding Teams in Blackpool). Very well done to all finalists, especially Mcbink. Really enjoyed our table until you took me out with a bitter and a red wine?? Sorry two pair J"s and A"s, great effort Brian.
Well done to all the team medallist and every team participating for making it a truly memorable event.
Well done Steve for being the top ranker. Congrats Brian on your omaha victory. Also finallists, Carl and Colin, vwp guys.

While I am not speaking on behalf of the G in any management capacity, I can safely say that, as dealers, we all had a brilliant time dealing for you all over the course of the four days and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did over the course of the festival, irrelevant of results.
It"s refreshing to be able to work in a poker environment with a group of people that do not take the game, or themselves, overly serious to which we had a mood through the duration of the entire festival which was fantastic.
However, it"s 5am and I am going to enjoy a chance to get a lengthy amount of sleep. I hope you all have safe travels home and I am sure we"ll see you again.
George.

Right back at you guys and gals, you helped make the festival exactly what it was, pleasant and very exciting.
Special mention for John Murray, excellent deep finish again. Also Matty great result mate F.T. Andy Kingan on going so deep, now that would have been a nice double. :)
My biggest thanks goto my fellow team members, Dewi, Rudders, Jason and Darren. Very well done lads, c u next season for more fun :D
Well probably won"t make Blackpool, so hope to you all soon as possible. Thank you all for a brilliant season, bye for now.

Well, what a great four days of poker.
Where do I start ?
Firstly congratulations to Stuart for an excellent win. You played a great game on the final table and it was an excellent call at the end there. To everyone that made the final table, or cashed, or made day two, or made the dinner break on day one, well done to you all.
For those that couldn"t make it to Luton on the Thursday and Friday for the European Team event, well you missed a quite extraordinary two days of poker. The atmosphere was incredible and it was a joy to be involved with an event with so many competitive, yet friendly teams and players. This event goes from strength to strength and the German substitution was a moment that will live long in my memory, i looked over to see the place erupt with a wave of colour all round that table. The rail must have been five deep, and I thought both players handled the pressure superbly well.
Congratulations to Poland for their excellent win. I thought they played the last session extremely well. We couldn"t have scripted the finish any better if we tried. I hope the updates did it credit as it was a rollercoaster last hour of play. Very well done to the French and English teams for winning medals also, and to the English captain for staying reasonably sober on the Friday. ;)
All of the above could not have been possible without our sponsors, Blue Square, who offered fantastic value for both events, but even more of a thank you must go to all of the staff at the G Casino in Luton. To Niall and the dealers, you are simply the best imo. Thanks to all the valets, restaurant staff and chefs, food was excellent, and I can recommend the toast if you happen to miss out on breakfast four days in a row. ;D
A quick congratulations to Steve Redfern on finishing top of the rankings this season, thoroughly deserved. I thought both Andrew and Brian ran you close and I know you were very nervous about it, so I hope your anti-railing is forgiven and taken in the right way. I know how much it means to you to be top at the end of the season.
And finally, thanks to Des and Rich. It"s always great fun working these weekends, they do an amazing job. And Tighty, I"ll try my best not to go that deep in an event again. ;) Big thanks to Steve Redfern, James Barber, Claire MacGregor, George Dickson and anyone else I didn"t spot doing chipcounts and feeding info through, it all makes for a great update thread.
Right, now for the real work, just got to pick an APAT team for the UK Team event in January. I might be a while........

And just to add.
Congratulations to Brian "BOINGBLITZ" Yates on taking down the Omaha side event last night. Brian was a member of the English team that finished third in the team event on the Friday. A little known fact about Brian is that he is also a member of the Black Country Poker Club. If you don"t believe me, ask him about it. ;)
Congratulations to George "Geo" Dickson on taking down the 76 runner £100 freeze-out at Luton last night for £2,660. George was a member of the Scottish team in the event in Luton and has already picked up an APAT medal earlier this year in Edinburgh.
Well played to both of you, a great way to round of the weekend.
