Well played Len.

DeVore

I'm sitting here gutted. Well played mate, do us proud!
If you can't play the ticket for any reason, I'll be here...

Thanks Tom.

I'd loved to have been charitable and let you take the ticket but I obviously want to play this so much myself. I hope to do the team proud. And also hope to net you some profit.

Karl... Have a word with the T-Shirt people and see if they do a larger size ;-)

BigDragon

Great game guys. Either one of you would have done us proud. Beat the fcukers senseless FBD

DeVore

Yeah that was another of my "terrible deals for other people" you were right to toss it

Is it wrong to hope someone breaks his legs over the xmas??

DeV.

Fatboydim

BTW... I know you won't remember this Tom ... But the first live game I played was a €10 SnG at the Fitz... two years ago. You and I ended up heads up I think I had A 10 and called your all in K5 you just had me covered. You hit a straight with the 5.

Hope the pain subsides by Saturday and I'll see you at the SE.

Fatboydim

Dave 1% will go to your charity as well... Sign me up.

PS....could you have a word with Donnacha and the others when your there

TY Tom.

DeVore

Barry Greenstein gives all his tournie winnings to charity, I'm sure Andy Black and Donnacha would give 1% if it was put to them nicely...

another bleedin ticket!?

well done Len!

Daithio

Nice one Len!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Paddy Power are kindly putting me up for this event, I'm absolutely delighted that someone I know won the ticket.:) I can't wait for it, it's going to be amazing. Even if we're the first two out we can make a decent piss up out of it at least! Oh yeah Dave, 1pc of any winnings I may take from this are yours too.

mewso

Someone won something to something? Well done. Hope no non-psychics are reading.

Dave

I think it might be something to do with the Galway Winter FO

Someone mentioned cheerleaders Dave... I'll do anything for a glimpse of cotton

Looking forward to it.

Congratulations Len :0). I have duly ordered a T-Shirt fit for gullivers merchandising store.

kincsem

Is this the Len who was telling me in the Fitz he was on a bad run. Good to see he won something, whatever it was.

Ffs what did he win? Was it the lotto?

a-k-47

He won a place on the irish grand slam team for 2006. one more place left

roryc

When is the last game for that place?

I believe the last place will be up for grabs on December 28th,satellites running from now until then.

mewso

I was in an imaginative mood and paid a visit to the paddy power poker site - http://www.paddypowerpoker.com/grandslam/qualify-ireland.php

DeVore

4th for the Monte Carlo Millions ticket, 2nd in the SSF and 2nd for the GS ticket.... you's can all get your beedy eyes off that last ticket, its mine!

(Actually I'll probably be playing the NI game as I qualify for them too, God Bless Mike Collins eh?!)

DeV.

I had a look at the English satellite the other night...only one registered,so if any of you hold an English passport it would be worth a look.

he will be losing to me heads up

DeVore

Indeed , though Mike is trying for that one I think but all the same I'd never live down the slaggin' from the lads I live with if I took the "kings crown". Besides they are being played at the same time and its tough to multi table on ppp I find.

If you hit a ticket for the English team and Tom somehow manages to jam a place on the Irish team.....that would be fun,and Antes Up would be a hoot to read.

Mike Wins (Tom found dead in bin).



And oi! What do you mean "somehow manages to jam a place". With Len out of the way, that second ticket is destined to be mine!!!

All I will say is Teddy has a better chance....:D


ps:teddy is becoming an icon of the boards poker scene,the amount of people who were asking "who's teddy...?"

Antes Up should do a profile on Teddy....

OMG! teddy is hereby invited to join FOS!!!

i promise a little teddy tux.

Note: In order to be eligible for the seat in each event you MUST HOLD A VALID PASSPORT for the country you wish to represent and your Paddy Power billing address must also be in that country. We will be requesting proof of citizenship for these events and customers not holding correct passports WILL forfeit their entry to the next placed player with eligible entry.

Mike and Tom?

I live near the border, passports are not an issue

passport is the main thing. billing address can looked at further if you hold a valid passport.

basically trying to target users to teams appropriately. pokerstars used billing address exclusively for the world cup which i thought was a bit chit.

DeVore

Aye, I'm quite proud of my Northern roots to be honest. I also don't get the idea that people born in the 6 counties are not "Irish" or are somehow less Irish then those born in the Free State. I mean, I could accept that opinion as being coherent from Ian Paisley but generally you get it from people who are otherwise quite nationalistic. I feel like saying "You're opinions are internally incohesive" but I generally don't say things like that to people with large tattoos .
I'd play for Northern Ireland first, Ireland second and I wouldn't try to qualify for England because I don't consider myself English (not that I have anything against them, I mean, Mike is English. Ok yeah, apart from that. Regi is English too. Actually come to think of it I hate the English )
I'd feel like a cheap bastard if I won a ticket to play for England tbh.


All of which is very off topic. The two games will be played at the same time so I dunno if I'll multi table them or just play the NI one...

Reading between the lines you are saying..."Mike is a cheap bastard if he wins a ticket to play for England..":)

bohsman

I consider myself Irish, I dont really care about whats printed on a piece of paper. It would be good publicity for PP if they got Cascarino to play for England though

DeVore

Dub13 wrote:

Not at all, Mike was born in England, whereas I wasnt, thats the difference. Technically I could apply for an English Passport but frankly, two nationalities is enough for anyone

DeV

Dub13

It will be allot easer to win an English ticket,so Mike who are you declaring for...?


ps:I declare for anybody who will let me play.

DeVore

Mike can play for both as he has dual nationality (Irish Mother and Irish passport, born in England.). He just can't play in the NI game.

Not quite. I was born in England and have a British passport. I have an Irish Grandmother so qualify for an Irish passport. I have not lived in England for 10 years and have no desire to back and live there again, there are too many English people there for my liking

If I can't play for Ireland then I will play the qualifier for the English team, simply because it is too good an opportunity to miss. TV poker needs me :v:

So if my grandfather was born in Northern Ireland I can play that qualifier?

Maybe so if you can get a passport...But the thing to remember is you will not know if you won the seat on-till the 28th of this month.So you will have to get a passport before the 9th/10th of January.
