well played dan.........i have been watching all day and i actually have a lump i my throat,you have done yourself(and tsp)so proud. i can now boast at my next poker game that my "mate" came 3rd in the gukpt! its been a great day watching and reading the support.
just a pity some small minded bloke tried to turn it into an argument
I came to rail you yesterday and i was convinced that you would make the FT because you did not look troubled at all and just so unfortunate at the end but hey £15k+ and 4th place is a fantastic achievement and yet again Manchester becomes a very happy hunting ground for the Chubster! ;-)
UL Dan vwp, to all TSP i have enjoyed reading the updates and watching the stream. have no interest in who wins now great result dan hold your head high as im sure there are plenty more to come
Why did the commentators refer to dan as an online freeroll qaulifier,and not as a member of TSP Posted by thejudge10
They think he won one of the recent tourneys for the top 30 league players for some reason, maybe they heard that some of the other sky players qualified that way and thought they all had. Don't think the commentators we're really firing on all cylinders, calling Dan, Danny still cracked me up.
It's been such a great event for Team Sky Poker both here and on the community. Your support for LML, James, Wayne, Redmond, Robbie, Aidan and Dan has been great - I know they appreciated it.
A special thank you to all the people who came along to rail over the weekend (including Ben Nutall and Lewis Taylor who stayed all weekend!). The rail in Manchester is a lot thinner now everyone has left with Dan.
I know its said all over by many people that sky poker has a great community, but the support myself and the rest of tsp received over the weekend was beyond belief!!!
I couldnt believe how many pages the thread has with all the well wishers, it really felt like we were all in it together, and we all felt proud and honoured to be representing sky and the community.
It was a very long weekend, but immensly enjoyable and a great experience for me personally, making my first big live tournament final table.
I am very happy with the way i played throughout the tournament, but just fell abit short. With the situation i found myself in 4 handed i really needed to pick up a hand as my stack was short and so were 2 of the other players, and the 'play' is really taken out of the game and you need to find hands at the right time. Unfortunately it wasnt my time to take down a big one, but hopefully that time will come, and hopefully i will have all you wonderful ( and crazy!) peeps with me on the journey!
A big thank you has to go to the sky crew who were there for the entire weekend, Rich, tikay, blandy, lml, all the other tspers.
A number of my friends from sky actually came to the casino to rail which was really nice and made me feel alot more comfortable seeing so many familiar faces around! ( too many to name but you know who you all are! tyty)
Ben and lewis stayed with me throughout the whole tournament which i really appreciated as they were really supportive and gave good advice when i needed it! Hopefully ill be able to return the favour very soon.
The donny boys also turned up for the final table and managed to lower the tone as per usual!!! sigh, always a good laff and they keep every one in good spirits!
I hope this result proves just what team sky poker is all about. Its not just about the players that get on the team, its about every one coming together and being part of something truly unique!! And for the players who make the team, or who are aiming to make the team, it just showes what is possible. I was 3 players away from £60,000 and winning one of the most prestigeous uk tournies from basically a free entry!! And if i can do it, loads of you can!!
But, without the friends and community behind it, it would not be the same!!
So on to the next one, hopefully the vic and the £15,000 GUKPT, hopefully one of the team will go a couple better than me and we can all get behind them and show them what sky poker is made of!
Just caught up with this thread. Great stuff and many congratulations Dan. Shame you didnt take it down but it only has to be a matter of time before a big tourney win.
An hour later after reading the thread from start to finish... Yes, yes, all well and good 4th place and £15,000 but why was the fan on the table? Oh, and scotty can you PM the live stream link please? ;-) Posted by Machka
