Well play @FeelGroggy had to be favourite at the FT right?
Well the best players don't always - or even often - win Final Tables, but yes, he'd be odds-on in my book.
The runner-up - Ms DW-R, was also very good indeed, & had a decent Poker CV & Hendon Mob, including 2nd place in the 718 runner WSOP Ladies event 2 years ago.
Many of you don't get the chance to attend SPT's, so won't be familiar with Groggs as a person, but as anyone who has met him will tell you, he is the most splendidly well-presented & well-mannered young man. He told me on Saturday that much of what he learned about poker was taught to him by @StayOrGo. I have no idea if that is true, but have no reason to doubt him.
Well played Groggy It just goes to show that if you put the time and effort in it pays off big time, Graham must be over the moon Congrats mate
+1 to that. And let's not forget he comes on the Forum & posts some splendid hand analysis stuff, & devotes a lot of time to helping those who need a little help with their game, which is most of us. He even tries to help Team "I'm So Unlucky All The Time", though most of us have long given up trying.
The last 2 scheduled stops for 2019 are Nottingham (4th to 6th October) & Manchester (22nd to 24th November), so they don't currently have any Glasgow dates lined up I'm afraid.
At this moment in time, of course, I've no idea whether there will be an SPT in 2020, due to the imminent changes. Fingers crossed, & I guess we'll know soon enough.
By the way, very well done last night in the Mini Major, an excellent result, though I'm sure you'd have preferred one spot better.
@Tikay10 Thanks for the great coverage. I thoroughly enjoyed playing on Saturday I was 2 to your right and doubled you up with your AQ v my KJ that should have hit the muck but for the temptation of the juicy £550 bounty on your head.
I'm now thinking I might try to get up to the Nottingham Event and try for that bounty again. Do you know when the satellites will start for that one.
Take care and thanks to all the Sky Team at Brighton

Good to see you here, & I well remember you from Saturday, thought you played the event in exactly the right spirit. I sensed pre-flop you knew exactly where you were in the hand - losing or flipping though rarely in terrible shape - but it was a £220 MTT & I had a £550 Bounty on my head, so that was the perfect spot I'd say. Was a real fun table that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I don't have a date for SPT Notts satellites yet, but I'd guess towards the end of this month. Keep an eye on the Forum, I always make the dates known on here soon as I am given them.
Thanks again for helping to make Saturday such a fun day.

Hey TK
Thanks for all of the updates; it helped when you wanna go but can't....next time can you get knocked sooner so we get more chip counts/updates
OR get that lazy @pompeynic as your assistant runner back on board
Just wanted to say HUGE congrats to Mr @FeelGroggy - thoroughly deserved his win as he outplayed everyone on the 2 tables I shared with him.
I was lucky to get to 4th (and yes Mr @Tikay10 - I had lots of luck!). Would like to say THANK YOU to all the railers (in person and online) as it really seems to make a difference.
Most of all - thank you to the team at Sky Poker - especially Mr @Tikay10 and @Sky_SamT , @Sky_James , @Sky_Mark and all. It wouldn't happen without all your hard work - so cheers again.
