Well done matey you played very well from my time on the table with you . I folded a couple of big hands to you thinking you were playing fairly tight given I saw you got in from an all in sat. In the hand I said jj for you which you've shown I actually had a smaller fd than you so that could have got a lot more messy but yeah I put you on qq/jj or akdd.
Fantastic result go one more during the week and get that bracelet. All the best
gr8 result Craig . Have to admit while watching i to thought you were playing a lot tighter than you actually were at times. It takes some guts to play those hands esp. when its so much higher stakes than you normally play and against a really impressive field. Well done
What a wonderful result for you Craig, many, many, congratulations.
Leaving aside "hand & flop stories", which I don't often read, be quite interested in you telling us a bit more about the whole experience, what it meant to you, especially in such a big Comp, & what £6,840 means to you.
I was delighted for Chris Moorman, he's a mate & a good guy, but my heart is always with the "little guys". £10k is not that much to Chris, in the grand scheme of things, but £7k must be monsta to you.
Great to see you just carried on playing your game and didn't freeze up and go into your shell, quite a daunting field I'm sure. I watched from about 25 remaining and it was a well fought battle. To hear you got in via the last all-in sat in incredible, ending up heads up vs the best player in the world! Any regrets calling the 3-bet on the KcQcQ board at the end there? Moorman was relentless so maybe you levelled yourself out of that one, esp with him limping AQs!
Quick shout out to the railbird who with late on said Moorman wouldn't win "one million percent" that's a lot of percent right there.
Anyway, very well played enjoy the money, great story chuffed for you.

Pull a few strings Mr TK and get Craig interviewed via phone or skype on one of the shows this week (only if you want to obviously Craig lol), great story.

It ended way too late for me to watch, so I never saw the last few Tables, but what was the "Rail chat" like?

Ugh, hate mistyping then being quoted! Yes the chat was very positive and supportive in the main, community did what the community does best. Lots of support for Craig, Karen and Clare. One chap was getting a small amount of stick/banter for being 'of age' from someone who knew who he was. The players stayed quiet and concentrated on the task at hand and all were gracious in defeat. Great advert for Sky I thought given what other chat rails can be like. Bit of banter re the lack of antes though you'd expect top players to check the schedule eh! Lots of cooing over Chris understandably he played solid throughout and got his luck in the spots he needed it (and he always seemed to have plenty of chips behind when he was in pre too..), he came across brilliantly well on the show this week too.
Apols for the slight derail on your diary btw Craig.
Very well played, Craig. I railed the final table to the end and was rooting for you all the way. Sorry you couldn't clear the last hurdle but winning £6840 and getting to heads up with the great Chris Moorman is an impressive addition to your cv.
Big congrats Craig... the two times I saw you in the tournament you had IH8PALACE and then CMoorman to your left so you definitely didn't do it the easy way!
Be interested to hear what your plans are for the money - is this the start of a roll that lets you play the big events more regularly or are you going to be out spending it in real life on a bunch of well deserved treats?
