Write a short manifesto that will be put up on Wed Week 2. This can be very short and bullet points if you want. Just introduce yourself, the positions you are applying for and any ideas you have for improving/maintaining the society next year. 3. Submit this to ashley.williams@warwick.ac.uk 4. The preliminary dealine for applications is Sunday Week 2 and I will post the manifestos whenever I get them.

Aberyswyth (or however your spell that place in Wales) were said to have 40 entrants by some people, and although we only managed 10 out of the 300 we still had 4 very much alive in the final 20. Aaron Madeley of Warwick was the overnight chip leader with just a shy over 200k but it didn't take long for Sam Weir also of Warwick to substantially overtake him. At one point during the final table he had over 800k. Unfortunately it wasn't to be and with 5 students left, Sweir raised with A3o and found a caller. The flop was AT3 two tone and Sweir made a standard continuation bet. The other player declares "call all in" at which point the dealer makes a resounding ruling of just a call. The 3rd spade fell on the turn and the other guy snap shoves (lol). Sweir tanks before folding and the other guy claims he had 67ss. Standard. Then he 3 bet shoves AJo pre vs Rachel Dale who tanks forever before calling with AK which holds up. So GG Warwick, we certainly impressed in yet another live tournament. 1 Greg Yates 1180 + WSOP Main Event Package 2 Rachel Dale 1180 3 Daniel Atkinson 955 4 Anthony Mcshane 785 5 Sam Weir 635 6 Aron Springfield 515 7 Petter Hildel 415 8 Adam Edgerley 325 9 Andrew Macfarlane 260 10 Aaron Madeley 205 11 Kev Amlani 165 12 Adam Armitage 165 13 Jeremy Levy 165 14 Alexander Marsden 130 15 Ben Williamson 130 16 Jonathon Garrett 130 17 JohannesStroble 105 18 H James 105 19 Aneurin Venables 105 20 Jennifer Doxey 105 21 John Mcdonald 85 22 Joe Neal 85 23 Mark Rayson 85 24 Gary Kelson 85 25 Mark Flatman 85 26 Robert Cocks 85 27 Ryan Hurst 85 28 Michael Swann 85 29 James Mee 85 30 Christopher Hendleson 85 en Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:24:05 GMT http://www.warwickpoker.com/forums/topic.asp?topicid=3881&msgid=30435#30435 Rupert - 4 poker soc members hit up Walsall from Monday to Wednesday for £220 and £330 tournaments. Callum Wright, this years social sec was the only one who managed to make day 2 in both events. Unfortunately bubbling the £220 when his AK lost to KK, he recovered and had great success in the £330 coming 5th for just over £3k!
