Omaha Trophy and sleep ..... NOT !

So drove upto Newcastle last night to play the £250 PLO GUKPT Tournament, courtesy of a 100% sponsorship from Cumbriapoker.com. And look there was a trophy to be won

Along with a champion of champions seat. So with just 54 entrants, this was a really good chance to get a nice trophy, but alas it wasn't to be.
After a driving nightmare entering Newcastle and finding the Casino I ended up there 5 minutes before the start and had to settle for an alternate seat. Quite good they loaded up 7 tables with just 6 players , leaving plenty of room for alternates ( An idea I will use for the Poker Tour of Furness I think)
7 hours 15 minutes late I got dealt my last hand and crashed out in 4th £1350 richer, although got to give Cumbriapoker 35% back. Still it was a great night and I felt completely at home and very comfortable amongst the so called greats of British Poker.
I left the Grosvenor at 3:15am and arrived back less than 2 hours later at 5:10 am . Drifted off to sleep and got my daughter waking me upo jumping on my back saying " come on Daddy time to get up you'll be late for work" LOL love her !

Stars challenge has suffered and will need to hammer it this w/end to get back on track.

Stay Lucky Punks I'm doing alright!
