Live från Showdown Poker Tour London 2006

Winner Mats Gavatin and lovely Michelle




Grattis Mats till vinsten.
- Tackar.

Du vann EPT i Dublin tigare i år. Det verkar gå bra.
- Ja det har gått väldigt bra i år.

Vad tycker du om arrangemanget?
- Jag tycker det var väldigt bra struktur. Jag får se om jag skall spela Eventet i Dublin. Skall i vart fall spela World Heads-Up Championship i Barcelona

När vi pratade med dig i matpausen hade du endast 20.000 marker. Lite senare på finalbordet hade du mindre än 5.000.... Barny Boatman kallar det tidernas vändning.
- Ja det såg riktigt illa ut där ett tag. men det gick vägen.

Vi tackar Mats för pratstunden och önskar honom lycka till i framtiden.




First of all congratulations on your win.
- Thank you very much.

You won EPT Dublin earlier this year. You seem to be doing well.
- Yes, this year has been really good.

What do you think about the event?
- I liked the structure a lot. I might play the next event in Dublin. But I will play the World Heads-Up Championship in Barcelona for sure.

When we spoke to you during the dinner break you only had 20 000 chips. Later at the final table you had less than 5 000. Barny Boatman called it the comeback of all time.
- Yes. It didn't look to good there for a while. But it all went well in the end.

We thank Mats and wish him the best of luck in the future.
