Time now for the presentation of the trophy, ceremonial photographs, handshakes galore & all that stuff.
I'm rather tired, to put it mildly, as I have been in the cardroom since 11.30am, so that'll be me done for today, as I really do need sleep & food. (Kirsty has been here even longer).
I'll wrap up the thread properly when I get home tomorrow.
For now, thank you for railing, you helped make this SPT a success, you really did.
Just wanted to say thanks to all at the Sky Poker team and Manchester 235 casino for an excellently organised event. I got AA in the first hand of the final table, but was subsequently card dead for the remaining time and in the end, when down to around 10bb, my KQ was no match for AQ. Shouldn't complain, lucked out on the river with AJ v Sky Kirsty's AK a few levels before (sorry Kirsty), so maybe laddered a few places higher than I deserved. Posted by TheSaw
Well played on your 7th place Mark. I recall we first met at SPT Manchester in 2009. I'm sure we'll meet up again.
WP everyone that cashed and nice to meet so many others, always brilliant to put a face to a name, Albaking outdid everyone with his dapper waistcoats :-).

Thanks Gordon. Always good to see you and well done for qualifying for both days 1a and 1b.
Hope we can catch up at many more of these events going forward.
Well done all players that cashed....especially to final table, never easy so top play. The Sky team done a great job , side prizes, helping players meet up , and keeping the SPT tournament reputation at the top. The casino staff where a little overrun at times, but Doug the manager was more than willing to listen to feedback, and done a great job. Roll on Brighton!
Great weekend it's always fun meeting up with the usual suspects and sky team done a sterling job and The Man that is TK is a legend 235 Manchester was a fun place to play.

And suddenly all the chips are in the middle.
The Goose has 2-2, & Tim has A-8.
The flopped A was enough to cook The Goose, & Tim is our SPT Manchester Champion.
The Goose - £9,130
Tim Hickling - £13,030
