First WWdN Euro-Friendly Tourney report

The first ever Wil Wheaton-sponsored Euro-friendly Friday tournament was played yesterday at Poker Stars and I’m delighted to say that I was fortunate enough to win it. “Over the moon” may not be the right phrase, but it’s the first one that comes to mind.
WWdN Eurofriendly Final Table - 10th Feb 2006
I’ll spare you all an in-depth analysis of the big hands. :-) Instead, you can read Wil’s roundup of the tournament on the Card Squad website here:

I was really pleased with the way I played, particularly when I was heads-up with Change100 and I came back from almost a 6 to 1 chip deficit (34k to 6k) to eventually win after a tense thirty minute battle. It was pretty surreal for me to play against other bloggers like CJ whose work I’ve been an admirer of for quite a while, as well as having Pauly and Wil in there commenting at the end and asking me where I was from. That was really cool actually! :-)
Thanks to Wil for putting the tourney on at a time when I could play and for creating a blind structure that rewarded good, patient play. Thanks to the other European players for supporting me at the end too, especially Sires (even though the talk of Chili was making me very hungry after almost three hours of playing on an empty stomach.)
See you all next time,
Dave

    [...] My run of good results in WWdN Eurofriendly tournaments at PokerStars continued on Friday. After driving like a maniac to get home in time for the start (and getting back a few minutes late), I was there until the bitter end again, this time finishing in second place after I won the first one back in February.
