We were all proud of you at that final table, so let the Frenchies dance any way they like! <br /><br />Had you pegged to go all the way, am sorry I never got around to putting a bet on you reaching final table! Couldn't believe you had K4o in that hand, I was on my break watching you... your composure was so confident and sure, my eyes popped when you told me afterwards! Had you nailed for a J9s, 99s or bottom set, slow played QQ/KK/AA...

Absolutely delighted to see 3 players I knew at the final table. Loads of people were coming up to me and saying "Isn't it great to see a woman at the final table" to which I replied, it's great to see a good poker player with a real shot at the final table. I was nearly going to buy rob a whiskey after the hand when you tangled with the Chip leader to your right, he went white as a ghost.<br /><br />Good luck in the car searching...
