Sweeney Todd - AKA Dave Elliott
Despite a disappointing turn-out for the inaugural Planet Pool Freezeout, we had a day of fantastic poker with the obligatory bad beats, monster hands, bluffs, gaffs and fuckwittery.
Dave played a blinder in a back and forth heads-up against Phil Da Silva, who hit the final table with a massive chip lead after his pocket 10s became a set, cracking pocket Kings and pocket Aces no less (unlucky Scotty, who was holding the Rockets!)
Dave finally won the lion's share of the prizepool (should cover the crimbo presents easily!) the sparkly Poker Championship bracelet and earned 5 points on the FHP Leaderboard (Dave shoots-up to 2nd Place after this win behind myself and Craig Hartley).
The 5 players to hit the cash were as follows:
1ST - Dave Elliott
2ND - Phil Da Silva
3RD - Will Picot
4TH - Soxy
5TH - Charles Butler
In case you are wondering, I hit the final table but left the tournament in 10th place when I am crippled by The Gay Blade when his Queens are tripped with the first card on the flop, thus making my Ace, Queen look pretty washed-up!
Phil then takes me out when I push my tiny stack with 8, 9 suited. He called with 10, 9. I am looking good on the flop with a straight and flush draw but manage to miss EVERYTHING!
Big thank you to Dan for flying over from Guernsey for his first live tournament and he should be proud of himself hitting the final table.
Look out for the Freezeout Schedule at Planet Pool in 2009, we will be running regular tournaments on Saturday afternoons and early evenings.

GO DAVE!!!
