Well done Stuart, a fantastic win. Loved that call! I might have played my tiny part in your tournament good start ;) and I"m really happy you took this one down.
Well played John, another deep run, enjoyed playing at your table too. And special mention to Gyorgy Kiss from the Hungarian team, you certainly marked the spirits there!
It"s been 4 days of intense poker, great European festival, well done Apat and thanks to Niall and his team.

Going into this event as defending Champions and finishing at the opposite end of the table was a bitter pill, disappointing as that was, I"m sure I speak for the whole Irish team in congratulating APAT legends Des, Richard, and Leigh, for another superb offering.
The entire staff at G Casino Luton are without question the friendliest most welcoming team I"ve ever come across anytime anywhere. It was so obvious the level of dedication to our every need was expertly influenced and led by Niall, Carmel and Nina, as customer care goes, you guys really are the nuts.
As is par for the course, there were lots of entertaining episodes, too many to mention but highlights for me were......
* The Neil Blatchley show, couldn"t imagine I"d ever rail a cash game for two hours but it was so worth it. Thank you Blatch you"re a funny funny guy, though your blatant disregard for money is scarey
* The inspired German substitution when heads up v Brian Yates. Well done Stefan astutely aware as always, well done Silke for taking the extra point under severe pressure and well done Brian for displaying superb sportsmanship in very trying circumstances. Thank you all for the superb atmosphere you created and giving life to Des" stategy ideas and making his day.
* The hilarious and frequent announcements from Niall. ie; "Would the person who left their belt in the mensroom, please go to the poker desk". Or, "tonights tourney will be played at tables marked 1-6, table 1 will become table 2, table 2 will become table 3, table 3 will become table 4", etc. Priceless stuff.
Commiserations to a valiant French team, who completely within the rules of the game, ::) :P came within a race or two of taking the title. Finally, the standard of play at these events just gets better and better, evidence if needed that APAT continue to provide the environment for its players to hone and develope their poker skills. So a sincere congrats to, Team champs Poland, European Amateur champion Stuart Ward, and Omaha winner Brian Yates.

I seem to have a few names now, but I"m happy with Alan (or Lucky) !
I thought we had a great starting table Paul. Some good play, some "interesting" play and a lot of fun too, with some good characters !
I enjoyed your company and was sorry to see you go (though pleased with the chips obviously!).
I"m sure I"ll see you again at another event.
