Post by: Hammerite on June 30, 2008, 09:54:57 AM: Well played Martin.

After spending sometime on your semi-final table in Vienna I must say I thought you had talent and it looks like yet again Apat has provided a good starting point for players wishing to get themselves involved in live tournament play and move on to bigger things. Don"t tell everyone though lol.
