Hi Guys,

I have all photos and results up on the site. They can all be found here:
http://www.brucepoker.com/?eventresults.
I split the photos into 2 different parts:
Final Table 10/11
Pub League 10/11

To fit in the gallery the photos are scaled down but if anyone wants Hi-res photos just pm me whichever ones you want and I will email them over.

There is a lot of people to thank for the weekend:
Thanks to all players who turned up for the main event and the side games at the end of the day it is the players who make an event special and you can’t beat the pub players for the craic. I want to make a special mention to Gerry Mulvaney and his 12 strong crew who came kitted out for the event(pic below).

Thanks to all organisers for the work you guys did over the league, there wouldn't be a final without you and your players. It was great to see some of the organisers cash in the main event, Michael McMahon, Wayne Halloran,Tommy Dignam, Leo Stone and Liam Tully.

Thanks to our Main Event Tournament Director Darren Gunning who did the best job possible, this was Darrens 1st time TD’ing a 3 day event and it definitely will not be his last. I don’t think there was one issue that wasn’t dealt with in a professional manner, the main event started on time every single day and finished when it was supposed to. A Job very well done.
Thanks to Chris Cooper and Damien Kent who looked after the side events on both days as well as dealing. This is my 2nd year working with Chris, it is always great to have him there as it means I don’t need to worry about the side event. Fair play to Damo who took over the turbo and the rebuy game, especially the turbo which started 2 hours after Damo got to bed from playing cash all night.

Big thanks to Hugo Hurlstone, Hugo looked after all dealers which were sourced by Ashley Palmer. Ashley has just recently had a baby so couldn’t work the whole weekend but came down Sunday night to make sure BrucePoker were happy, the dealers were happy and of course to drink all night.

Thanks to all dealers. You guys did a great job and every dealer I spoke to was professional and hard working.

Thanks to the Hotel who catered to our every need, this is the reason we travel to Galway every year. The Clayton staff go out of their way to make sure all the players, staff and dealers get fed watered and are comfortable.

As for the usuals, to Aido, Keith, Garry, Sam and all the staff from AK thanks for all your work on the cash tables, I think the cash stopped only for a couple of hours on Saturday during the day and eventually finished at 7am Monday morning.

Thanks to Niamh for helping with Reg and all the admin work over the weekend.
To everyone for transporting setting up and bringing home all the tables and gear.

I hope thats everyone, if I have forgotten anyone I'm sorry.
