Just a quick explanation from me as to why I couldn't attend SPT today.
My brother passed away last sunday and although I've been playing every night on here (to take my mind off things), yesterday evening I realised that I was in no state to be sat in a casino with 120+ players and also I would have been too far away from my family especially my parents who obviously are having a tough time.
Many thanks to the people who I have told and have expressed their condolences to me. I do appreciate it
Although the 1st few days poker helped to divert my thoughts and focus my mind on something other than my brother, over the last few days I haven't been able to focus and have decided to take a bit of time away from poker.

Railed Jac35 right the way through to the Final of SPT Main event along with Jeffter, JJJach, Rawhand etc. (May have missed some but too tired to remember lol)
Summary Great weekend - too much drinking, lack of sleep, all pokered out.....it's taken it's toll - but would'nt of missed it for the world.
It was awesome - TPT were awesome - Well played ALL.
Bed - where is my Bed????......ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It was my first SPT and On my way there I was a little nervous as I didn't know anyone.
I needn't have worried. Right from the start I was made to feel incredibly welcome by all the TPT guys.
Mr and Mrs Trev let me tag along with them for a meal when I first arrived and then we registered for the side event.
Congrats to Trev on cashing in that.
It was great to meet Jeffter, JJJlach, Pokey2011, Rawhand and the wonderful FlashJonny. All absolutely top guys and for them to rail me all the way through meant a huge amount to me.
A big thanks too, to the guys who railed in the updates. I was constantly checking them and it was really motivating for me knowing I had support on the updates as well.
Well done to all the TPT guys who cashed over the weekend.
Apologies to Rawhand who played really well. That was the one hand I didn't feel good about winning.
Hopefully see you all there again at the next one.
