Very nice, and good move with the all in and "eagerly" trying to flip your cards over to show a "monster hand"

Hope the luck continues for you, is always nice to finish well in a tourney like that.

I couldn't believe it. My false tell worked, and once more I showed him my 7-8 just because the guy needed to go on tilt! And this hand certainly put him on it!

Wow, nice job of quick thinking! Congrats on the stellar finish and what sounds like a very exciting time.

at all the casino's I play at once your chips go passed the cards its a call, did the chips not pass his cards when he picked them up?

The chips passed his cards but still in his hand holding them in the air.

It was played in a student union venue on behalf of Edinburgh Poker Society, so string betting was allowed etc.... People could also say call, then when realiusing it was a raise fold if they didnt see sooner etc...

It was more relaxed than a casino but a great event.

I'll write a full story and post the link within the next few hours Just for memories etc.. a few funny hands *remember*

One was my AA versus someones KK. The first card was a K on the flop. I turned straight away and swore, and as I walked from the table, the viewers starting shouting and I assumed another K had come out. I went back to the table to see the second card of the flop being an A. Took the pot =)

Hey man, its Gordon who came third at the EUPO. Really great summary of the main event, but there's just one thing u got wrong.......
I KNOCKED OUT DAYDD NOT CHRIS!!!!!!! Mwa hahaha. LOL
Remember all the confusion when I had K-K and went all in out of turn?? I got to call in the end and after Dafydd flopping a straight flush draw, my Ks held up!
Anyway, Great tourney, thoroughly enjoyed it, hope to see you on the tables some time soon.
All the best,

GOGS
