Fantastic result vwp sir. Epitomises what the UKPC was all about and will be inspirational to all on here I'm sure. I'm really gutted to have missed the festival personally. It seems like the whole sky community really showed what it has to offer on a national scale and that can only be good for the game as a whole. Well done to everyone who represented the community so well, the UKPC seems to have been better received than anyone could have hoped for!
nice score fella, i was gonna do the same as you and have a crack at the 150rebuy.. and see what happens. Soo much value in this fest, massive achievement imo and exactly the right shot to take to give ya a new sense of drive and love for the game.
If i were you i'd skip 50nl now and just table/seat select really well locking down god seats between 100nl-400nl.... reducing your tables down to 4.
great work paul now the moneys already made so you don't have to spend months moving up the cash stakes slowly as you can just make the big leap up to the higher levels right away. The joy MTTs, now all you have to do be avoid the positive tilt.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's funny, it was a really great feeling and completely surreal just thinking how much my payout was increasing with every bustout but as people always say with MTTs.... 'no matter how much you cash for, if you don't win you're always a bit disappointed'... I really wanted to take it down, and when we got 3handed it was anyone's game, but hey I won't complain!
I did a new blog about UKPC/my deep run, it's largely what I've pasted here (for the non-forum readers) but with just a few pics added, so if anyone is interested...
It certainly was a vv tough field and it was a great experience to share a table with the likes of Matt Perrins, Rupinder Bedi, Simon Deadman, Julian Thew just to name a few. My proudest moment in poker was always being picked by yourself (Tikay) to be part of TSP but this is certainly challenging for top spot now.
I'm not gonna be doing anything crazy, I'll be taking the sensible route. Me and Emma have been putting money into savings for a long time towards buying a house and a big amount of my bink will just get added to this fund. Putting a chunk of it away also just increases how financially stable we are in the 'bad times' which is really important if you're playing full time.
My day-to-day grind is probably not gonna change at all, but it does help me take a couple more shots at live games which I've been really eager to do for a long time. I'll probably play stuff like GPS because the BIs are smaller than other tours like UKIPT, although will probably still give the odd UKIPT sat a go.

Was about a year ago when i told you that i was certain you would be playing 100/200nl within the year so you timed it right.
Youve done evrything right and deserve what you have achieved
Good luck
Daz.
An astonishing performance, Paul, many congratulations.
I doubt you could find a tougher 400 runner 6-Max field than that, anywhere.
Be proud, & enjoy the plaudits.
Abso delighted for you.
