FTOPS (Lindgren Win) / Weekend Play

Wow! I've just finished watching the FTOPS $300 Event #9 and WOW again! Erick Lindgren has just beaten 5,636 others in the Tourney he was asked to 'Host' taking down a $291k prize, but, after the chat boxes are full of talk of it being 'Fixed' for the FullTilt Sponsored Pro, the last two hands will no doubt be thought / talked about for a while to come!

The second last hand sees Kochan dealt AQ and with a flop of Q66 the chips go in. E-Dog calls and his K6 holds up to double up.

The final hand, more controversially - QQ v JJd with E-Dog the underdog - the flop comes Ad3cQd leaving Lindgren to catch only JJ or runner-runner diamonds to win - and so it happens, 6 diamonds, K diamonds!!!

And onto my own recent play ...

I didn't play much at all this weekend due to a Stag day on Saturday, by working most of Sunday and then the one tourney I had entered, the Sunday Hundred Grand on PS, they cancelled!

Our Man 'munter99' took his seat in our Syndicate's first monthly attempt at the PokerStars.com Sunday Million and I'm sad to report that it was an unsuccessful one ... no money returned. It didn't help that he had 'Sitting Out' next to his name for most of the 2nd hour after suffering connection difficulties. Jim (CELTICRIVER) is up next in March ...

Some of my pals from APAT are planning a Poker trip to Aviation Club de France (ACF) in Paris for Friday 25th April (for a small group initially to try it out). The schedule for a Friday is as follows;

7am flights from Prestwick with RyanAir for less than £40 return
30Euro tourney at 10am
50Euro tourney at 2:30pm
50Euro, Rebuys 1hr, 1 Add On, tourney at 7pm (so 100Euros)

ACF's open late so no plans for booking accommodation - all we need to do is leave around 5am for our 7am flights back on the Saturday.

Total cost will hopefully be around £200.
