Title: Who's Going To Take It Home?

Right then, second only to Ricky Hatton, who is going to be the pride of Manchester this weekend?

My view....Max Ward to retain the title....

I"ll lay good odds if you want to back him?

I"ll back Andrew Tracey to win, and Rich Offless as a good each-way bet.

Post by: lukybugur on December 06, 2007, 19:01:41 PM: If someone"s willing to play Bookie, I"d like to see odds of some of the Scottish qualifiers;

Blair "DJKebab" Kirkland
Jim "CELTICRIVER7" Lang
Andy Morrison

I"m willing to bet on a win for each of the above if anyone"s offering odds ...

APAT could always run a "first to name the winner on the Forum gets a seat in Wales" type sweep like they did for recent Amsterdam Masterclassics ... ? Any chance of it Des?

I"ll give you 50/1... buy me a beer (Guiness please) on Saturday and if Max wins I"ll buy you 51 pints. :D

Post by: APAT on December 06, 2007, 20:31:25 PM: Oh how quick you are to cast aside the chances of one who has been there and done it :D

I think there are some great names and lots of talented players in the field, but I"m sticking with Max to take home a Gold.

Name the odds and I will stick an equal amount on top. If I get 50 to 1, I will stick £50 on etc. ;)

...and I think Mark will be in the mood for this one.

My money would be on Mark or a rank outsider, Lee Baron for the win.

Done deal Daniel, I"ll be bringing up an extra Gold just in case Max doesn"t actually win.

Post by: jacklevel06 on December 07, 2007, 08:52:29 AM: Gordon Mcarthur to win.My outsider to watch Dewi James ,he always says he only plays aces,or kings so they have got to stand up some time.

Gordon is going to run well in one of these soon.

Dewi has the best chance in Ireland - where the card room doesn"t have a bar.
Title: Re: Who's Going To Take It Home?
Post by: TightEnd on December 07, 2007, 11:03:16 AM: In Ireland Dewi way preferred the bar

In fact Dewi has no hope in any live game ever

It"s Max to win for me, the rest of you fighting over the second medal

He"s class...

From his posts on here I get the impression Mr Ward needs no help in boosting his poker ego! ;) Whoever wins I"m sure it"ll be another cracker, disappointed I couldn"t make it back down to my adopted home city for this, good luck to all and I"ll have to make do with the excellent updates.

Post by: ian_distort on December 07, 2007, 14:23:53 PM: Tony "1 Leg" Curran is in fine form, and if he brings his Groucho glasses, you might as well give him the medal now. I"d go as far to say as that he"s the best uniped poker player in the UK :)

Other predictions include Swinebag22 joining him at the final table, and the casino forgetting to tell any dealers there"s a big tournament on...

But in all seriousness now,

havent looked to see if he is playing, but i would not be surprised to see richy offless at the FT again.

Post by: UKChamp on December 07, 2007, 23:12:44 PM: The blind optimism from certain people is much appreciated but I fear its just a ploy to create a lengthy thread!! It worked, look at how quickly people came out to can the notion, and who can blame them!

Im really looking forward to it and who knows, if lady luck shines I may have a chance...of being bought a drink by Des! ;D
Title: Re: Who's Going To Take It Home?
Post by: lukybugur on December 07, 2007, 23:19:14 PM: I"m sure I saw folk posting odds of 2/1 on you winning this weekend Max ...

and odds of 10/1 on Des making it to the bar area ...

Neil,

I reckon one way or another Jim Lang will make a BIG impression in Manchester.

Only joking Jim and I hope you do well down there.
Title: Re: Who's Going To Take It Home?
Post by: MAIR on December 08, 2007, 08:55:45 AM: LOL I would say Manchester, lookout, Jim is about :D

Best of luck to my friends from Edinburgh, gr8 players show em what us Scot"s are made of!
Title: Re: Who's Going To Take It Home?
Post by: jjandellis on December 08, 2007, 09:52:58 AM: I cannot make this event, as I have just got back from the UK and am off to Norway on Tue. Not really fair on the family to partake...

But anyway good luck to all in both this and the ONlive...

My tips:
Manchester - George Bedi (if he doesn"t manage to blow another big stack ;-) )
ONlive - Mickey P (its just a drunken sit n go isn"t it???)

News on the Welsh Champs -

I hope to play. I was in discussions with my boss in Plymouth and the Marines are looking to get me back. I"ll use the HS125 if I really must! But this is all weather dependant, as I"m gonna be way up North in a place called Banak Lakselv http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakselv_Airport,_Banak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakselv_Airport,_Banak)

I"m totally rooting for him although he"ll be unbearable in all future event. I"m a big fan of him and his chat even though most of it is focused on pleasuring my wife! I just hope he stays calm long enough to concentrate on his game.

Go J!

Post by: Mr Mo on December 10, 2007, 18:32:32 PM: I don"t know who will take it home however who does will have played out of their skin

I had a rush of blood to the head around 11:30 Saturday night and I can still hear the fat lady singing all the way up the M74

It was a fantastic event as long as it lasted for me and congratulations to the APAT team for yet another blindingly run event.

Hope to see some of you at the next one.

Post by: Dazcum on December 11, 2007, 21:23:36 PM: No disrespect to Max Ward but did he hit the last 30?? , Stuart Hopkin was the best player i played against on day 1 and 2 he was unlucky not to take it, he doubled up off me on the end of day one short stacked, but was a pro throughout and landed 2nd which trounced my 13th place, best of luck for the future stuart it was a tense but enjoyable experience mate
