Would love one in my home town! Got a great looking 24 hour casino in Wolverhampton now but during its refurb they got rid of the card room much to many people's anger. Regardless though I will be at every stop next year health and wellbeing permitting if only for the community as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgriff Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 87k and back tomorrow. I'll take that having battled with below avg stack all day including being down to 12bb at one stage. Good to see the player numbers shooting up compared to previous events. Good to see familiar faces too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
