Excellent work guys!

[bennymacca]

something there for everyone

i am probably biased, but i loved the structure of both of the gf ticket events that were run on the weekend.

i think the triple addons for 10k in chips is awesome for the rebuy events - great way of boosting the prize pool

it was only 5k at the WAFC on friday night, and i thought that was awesome. but 10k is even better.

[MattyMoo]

Yep, summed up in the title. Awesome!

(p.s. it's Morphett Road not Parade)
