Just Freerolled into my first UKOPS Main Event!

Hi Pokerpeeps,

Thought I'd just show off that I have finally made it into a UKOP's Main Event after years of only dreaming of having a £110 buy in to spare.

I'll not bore you with too much detail, I'll just say that having patience pays off... that and landing pocket kings on the main event bubble and being shoved on. see below...

PS. unlucky craigcu12, good move, just unfortunate timing.

I know Craig doesn't go bust here, but it effectively sealed the win considering stack sizes and blinds.

Thanks for these freerolls Sky, I wouldn't have made it otherwise... Can't wait for the UKOPS.

    Congrats Sir

    Guess that you're not one of the people on here who think Skys freerolls are rubbish!  :)

    cant say that i am Jac... the freerolls and sats give us lesser mortals a taste of the big time. 

    I know the 5 min blind levels take some of the skill element out of the game in some ways. but I still managed to pull a few moves off to get to the top... see below.
