Was lucky enough to meet the lovely Andrew1947 last week during his Day 1 entry for the London GUKPT. (I wasn't there to play - just to meet a few Sky players for lunch). He's currently on the FT with a pretty stack size.
FTR....he was down to 1/2 Big Blind way before the bubble. He managed to win with Jacks and spin it up to get to the FT. Well played young man & GOOD LUCK!
Didnt he come 5th in a Grosvenor tournament last week.
This was only a 6 seater SnG. There was also Tikay, Doyle Brunson, Channing, Essex Phil & Haysie playing. It was going to be a last longer but they changed it to a 'who goes for a nap latest' comp. Tikay was 1st out.
I watched this on stream at the time and wondered about Mr 'ANON'. He didnt join in the group photo for all on the FT, plus didnt give a winners interview after. However, he was clearly seen on screen and given a name at times by both the commentators and some in chat. Seemed all a little strange to me. Do you get the same at SPT's now?

If a player at an SPT wishes to be Anon, then that has to be respected, but most are fine with their names being revealed.

He's a legend, especially after the big UKPC Championship run not long ago.

oioi, good luck Andrew.
Whatever happens now, it's been a terrific effort by the old fella. Really pleased for him.
I don't generally like elderly people, they are all so useless & miserable, but Andrew is an exception.
The other thing about Andrew is that he can out-talk Neil Channing. Not many can say that.
He's the OAP GOAT.
Here's the official result of that Final.
Well done Andrew, & of course, well done to Anon.

PS-should ban "anon" players. Easy done-make it a condition of entry in the first place.
