I would LOVE to be playing this tonight but can"t due to:

1) My bankroll taking a big knock for the past 3 months
2) Mother"s day tomorrow- my wife would kill me

Good luck to all APATers- go get em!

Amazing comp as expected. Superb structure, many familiar faces, tikay, tightend, julian thew and a good 20 of the guys from Gala. Also had the pleasure of sitting next to a new face to me, but obviously a familiar face to many, RedDog and his many breakfasts!

As far as the poker goes i didnt have a great deal to play with, halved my stack to 5k when i made trip 10s with a queen kicker only for my opponent to show the other 10 with an  :as: kind of knew it was coming.

Worked my way back to 16k and sat on it for the proceeding 4 hours as every hand i was dealt involved a 6. A few mediocre hands later and i was pushing with top pair and called by an overpair. Out about 70th.

Evilpie went a hell of a lot deeper. Rather sick end to his evening at 4-30ish, with only 28 players left, he saw his average stack of 40k disappear in a puff of smoke when his pocket aces got beaten by pocket kings.  :"(
