A big thanks to Pete the Landlord of the Gladiator who hosted a great event, and after all the flooding and water problems i thought the event ran very smoothly.
Also it was nice to see out Manchester counter parts who travelled down for the day but were unlucky not to make it further into the competition.

Next saw the White Lion face a tough call for all there chips when a 10 high flop saw Richard Harvey catch top pair, only to findout that his gutsy call with Q 10 come up against K 10 and the White Lion were out in 7th place.
