Came down for a few hours to keep the reprobates happy unfortunately misty and mattprawn went out. Was great to catch up with old and new players alike. Thanks for the laughs it was fun and meeting the sky poker crew and chatting with Mr C. Shame couldn't have stayed longer but was just what the Dr ordered. For everyone still in the competition run golden all and good luck. Sky have out done themselves yet again. Well done to them and also all the staff at Dtd. Looking forward to the updates.

I think I can put in a raise on Ric's post in that I got farcically lost in Nottingham, having come in on the 'wrong side' instead of from the M1. After crossing a lot of the city and asking various locals without success I found myself in a Mcdonalds and was by this time pleading with the staff for directions. The manageress was very nice and took pity on me and was saying 'the lads will all know where the casino is'. But then they went all coy and started making excuses - one guy even started claiming he was from Darby, never heard a group of lads go so quiet! Finally she asked some customers and came up with some good advice which was to head for B&Q.
Well I got there only to find myself in a very repititive loop between the B&Q shopping centre and the industrial estate where a lot of lorries park. All I can say is Nottingham has a lot of one way roads and being old skool I haven't embraced satnav...
By the time I rocked up about an hour and a half late I was pretty well stressed. Not really the start you want in your first live tournament.
But things got a lot better when I found out I was playing with MattPrawn and TimmyRaRa and they both made me feel very welcome. Mind you it didn't stop Matt from cracking my Aces by making his flush and Timmy beating me set on set in what was a defining hand for both of us .
Next time I will buy a Satnav and get some live play practice in!
Seriously thanks Matt and Tim and GL Tim for Sunday!!!
Very well done Claire hope you had a great time. Rafa didn't realise you were on Matty's table or would have said Hi. Any chance of an update or Chris Cunliffe and pokey please. For all those playing today extra gl and run golden. I thought Dtd was packed in august for the ukpc then, but this time it was rammed to the rafters. Posted by Darkangel7
