Congrats to the Sky Poker November Nine
KEVMAC10 finished 10th, & collected a pleasing consolation prize of £800.
The Bubble Boy - someone always has to bubble - was mattprawn.
The "ugh" story of the night was aussie09, who was cruising his way to a seat all evening, controlling the table & playing nice & snug. Hard to see how he would NOT qualify for the 2nd year running. The Gods of Poker have a way of being a bit moody & unpredictable at times, & Aussie's exit was one of those - he got it in with A-K v A-Q, & the 4 flush arrived to save A-Q man, & leave Aussie on fumes. Typically, after a few minutes to compose himself, aussie was back in the chat box wishing everyone well, & after today, knowing him as I do, he'll never mention it again.
10 handed (9 seats & £800 to 10th) the game seemed to go on for ever. 4 players had less than 4 bigs, of which two had less than 2 bigs, one chap had half a big. Epic clinging on.
Adam Bromley, who had plenty of chips earlier, & looked to be cruising, received the curse of the bok when a (well-meaning) railer suggested he & Natalie get their bags packed ready to fly to Punta Cana. Natalie, who was eagerly railing, but sensibly (just keeping quiet for a change) was horrified, & of course, you know what happened next - Adam could not find any spots, & was looking at the 2 ultra shorties on the next table, & soon found himself with about 4 bigs & clinging on desperately. He clunged well.
Tremendous fun, well played all, well played Sky Poker.

Cracking Punta Cana Final last night, which eventually ended around 0045am if I recall correctly.
Congrats to these 9, who all won themselves a trip to the Caribbean in November;

Very exciting final, played in fantastic spirit. Time after time a player would return to the chat box to wish the remaining players well. Don't believe I saw a single gripe all night and some great railing from the usual suspects.
Well done guys, look forward to reading the blogs!
Best

Amen to all that, well said Matt.
Who needs Punta Carna anyway....
To the best of my knowledge, no, the Tourney is not "Invitation Only", anyone can buy in for cash I would assume.
Excellent thread, really shows the community spirit at Sky Poker in a great light. Very best of luck to those that are off to the sun.
Great job from those that didn't quite make it in taking this as a minor bump in the long and winding road.
I'll get you a seashell Rose. :=)
BTW, has anyone found out where we can get the cheapest flights?
Cheers,
Graham
Just kidding, look forward to having a few beers with you and Natalie out there.
Not sure who I'm taking yet, probably my son Gary (Limp2Lose)
Do you know what airlines/airports do direct flights? Is the cost direct prohibitive? Any help with flights appreciated.
Cheers,
Graham
