Two more players won seats in the Main Event at Liverpool Winter Festival; 'Therat002' and 'nhggfusmdm' (aka Niall). The latter was interviewed back in December, so 10KingsPoker caught up with 'Therat002' for a chat.

How did you hear about Liverpool Winter Festival?
I heard about the festival in the Circus Casino whilst playing a tournament there.
I think the casino is great and should be a fantastic venue to hold your event in.
Congratulations! Top 2 and a seat in the Main Event. You had a good feeling all the way through?
Thanks, I wasnt really worried at any stage. You see, I already decided I was gonna buy in direct anyway even if I didnt qualify, so I wasnt playing scared or anything. In the satellite I made 1 bad play with the QJ hand but with only 1500 chips and quite a quick blind increase I decided to play fast straight from the off. I got a little lucky with my pocket kings when my opponent held AQ and hit 2 pair on the flop. However, I did have the best starting hand so I figure I deserved to win it. Ha-ha.
How is your poker form?
Im running pretty good at the moment in all forms of poker so I had a good feeling I would qualify. I recently cashed in the Anniversary cup ( £1,000 buy in ) at Dusk till Dawn coming 3rd and winning £19500. It only cost me £15 via a satellite so that was a nice return! My aims now are to satellite into lots of big events.
What do you think about 10KingsPoker.com?
I have only played on 10kingspoker for about a week now but I already like the feel of the site and theres lots of action, so along with 1 or 2 other sites this looks like I'm gonna start playing a lot on here. There are some great heads up sit & go's on the site which I like playing.
Thanks for the chat, Mr. Holmes. See you in Liverpool in Feb.
