@Essexphil at 3.25 looks closest to me but I’ll wait for confirmation. Thanks all for reading. In the style of the late great two Ronnies It’s goodnight from me and it’s goodnight from him.

Am too tired to say anything else, will wrap up & try to thank everyone in the morning, especially @pompeynic .
Night all.
Made my morning cuppa and sat down to read all the posts following my retirement just after midnight. It was almost as good as watching the tables. Thank you so much @Tikay10 and @pompeynic for sticking with it for all of us weaklings. Congratulations to @hughjarse9
Just a quick note to thank everyone for getting involved in the forum thread. By the standards of this Forum, almost 10,000 views in 2 days is off the scale.
The tourney went pretty well too, & the vast majority of feedback was positive, & it seemed like people had a good time playing it. This is not 'Stars, where it's all about the money, "community" matters so much more here, & we had a load of players posting on the Forum for the first time. We got the Sky Poker Twitter feed rocking & rolling too. I feel like we've made a whole bunch of new friends.
Well done of course to hughjarse9 & all those who cashed.
Monster thanks to @pompeynic for helping out on the update, ditto to @TVSpice. It all helps. In years gone by I could cope with 20 hour stints, but it seems I struggle a little with them now. I'd done the Results Thread & the Daily Forum Comp both days, so they were lengthy shifts, and in the last few hours last night I was struggling a little.
The numbers in the tourney were unbelievable too. I don't really know what the Suits expected, but I doubt they anticipated almost 700 entries and a prize pool close to £140,000.
There was some grumbling & chuntering late on about the infamous Level 29. I have no idea what the thinking was, but even with that it still never finished until 0330. Had the blind increases continued "normally" it may well have been 5 or 6am before it ended. I'm not sure that's at all what this site or it's regular players want. And personally, I'm, not too fussed about the views of a few players who only grace us with their presence every few years.

Just a quick note to thank everyone for getting involved in the forum thread. By the standards of this Forum, almost 10,000 views in 2 days is off the scale.
The tourney went pretty well too, & the vast majority of feedback was positive, & it seemed like people had a good time playing it. This is not 'Stars, where it's all about the money, "community" matters so much more here, & we had a load of players posting on the Forum for the first time. We got the Sky Poker Twitter feed rocking & rolling too. I feel like we've made a whole bunch of new friends.
Well done of course to hughjarse9 & all those who cashed.
