The tournament was brilliant fun, met Jessie May, a really nice guy as I expected! Came over and chatted, got a bit embarrassed when he asked how many posts I have on 2+2, but we ended up talking about the letters I write and he laughed a lot, I really need to get back on that
Tom gave us all a £50 alcohol voucher, this voucher is also transferable to just about everywhere in London as well so I'll be enjoying the remainder of that this weekend!
Managed to make the final two tables (3 tables to start
but it was a rebuy tournament) but made the break and had a couple of footholds but didn't manage to make anything out of my stack. The tables were tough, I had 2-3 really good aggressive players on the table (Nam Le on another!), with only a couple of weak spots. Had my heart in my mouth every pot I was in, was very exciting! Busted out with A8s when UTG MR and I shoved for 10bbs, probably a mistake in retrospect but not a big one. He sighed an called with AJ. Won a nice pot off Tom Hall the hand before with KQs vs KJ but donked them all off the next hand with the A8s.
Party was amazing
Got champagne thrown into our hands when we walked in, the most incredible tasting sushi being served around (seriously this sushi was incredible), the hottest girls dressed in very little (painted clothes mostly!) dancing up on stage as well. Tried to use my alcohol voucher at the bar but they turned it down because the whole bar was free!!!
Met a couple of interesting people as well, professional sports betters (they tell me their edge is only 1%!), casino owners, and website owners etc. Had a good chat to a lot of them and learnt a lot about the industry.
They had 2 professional darts players there as well, one of whom was Peter Manely who I beat in a game of 101 (epic lol). Double 3 ftw.
Excellent couple of nights, some of the best fun I've had!
