Vegas Final
Well done to these 4.
Granite was there last year, in fact he won SPT Las Vegas last year. Proper nit, premium hands only.
He ran pretty good at the sharp end in Vegas last year too. 5 left, AlanCarr shoved into him with 10-7, & Granite found the Aces.
Then, heads up v 24caliber, caliber boated up somehow with 10-7 on a 4-4-4 flop, but Granite had the monster 4-3 for flopped quads.
A few hands later, it was Quads again for Granite with the suited connectors this time, J-2 hh.
Groggs of course will be a popular winner. Despite being a high roller & a big winner, he spends a lot of time on the Forum helping those of us at the other end of the ability & stake scale. Top top bloke. He'll need ID in Vegas though, where the minimum age to play poker is 21. He looks well shy of that.
The fairytale tale of course is MISTY4ME, what a win this was for the West Country man, he's done well at a few SPT's lately too. Here he is (on the left as we look) next to some random at SPT Manchester.

Spare a thought for smallpete, that was a £4,000 bubble but he got zilch.
@smallpete 0 5
So many people I have spoken to are absolutely chuffed for misty winning a package. Having met him at a few events, he is a genuinely nice guy and great to share a beer with and I know he will have a fantastic time!
Congrats to the 4 of you!
I am absolutely chuffed to bits ........ the Missus isn't too happy though
Unfortunately she doesn't do flying so won't be coming as my +1.....I was trying to keep it from her as it's her birthday today, but the 'Cat's out of the Bag'
Many many thanks to TiKay and everyone at SKYPoker for the opportunity to realise one of my remaining dreams.
..... and as for the Charity Shop ........I'm defo going to have to go there to get some clothes if the wife cuts all mine up to stop me going..... I just wouldn't quite fit into many of David's
Think I need to get a new photo done TiKay ...... one with the Trophy would be good
THANK YOU so much everyone for your kind words and best wishes

Definitely need a new photo. That fat random was taking up half the photo
Good luck

I've checked through the Hand History, and didn't miss too much except for KK on the 9.55pm break..... I hate the break hand, so I know that would have got me in trouble (v. Groggy)
Now just need Madprof and Sid79 to also win packages and the fearsome foursome (including pompeynic) will hit Vegas like a hurricane.
I know you will get to Vegas by 'Hook or by Crook' and it was great to see you get to Sunday's semi-final last night. Good Luck for Sunday.....we need you in Vegas too
