Another event in the hugely popular Amateur Poker Association and Tour concluded at the Fitzwilliam Casino and Club in Dublin on Sunday night. Regular readers may recall that the APAT offers an affordable introduction to the world of bricks 'n mortar tournaments, with a buy in of £75 and no fee deducted by the casino.
The format obviously suits Welshman Darren Shallis. By winning Sunday's Irish Amateur Championship and accepting £3k slice of lolly, he registers his third final table finish on the tour. Although it is his first gold medal award, his belt is also stuffed with a 10th place at the Welsh Amateur Tournament and a 4th on the English Amateur event.
However, for every ray of sunshine there can be a menacing cloud about to darken the day and we at Eyebrows are concerned for Darren's sanity: part of his prize package includes 'Significant Media Exposure'. If we were asked would we rather see tanks on the lawn or be interviewed by Piers Morgan, sadly our first question would have to be 'How big are the tanks?'
We'll have to place Darren on twitch watch and we can only hope he gets to keep his shades on.
