Well done to Mark McDonald - he is a improving player......

What tournament have u got planned?? I think if prize monies r decent u would get a few decent UK players over, myself included...

It was awesome mark.... Just a great laugh. Tables obviously left a lot to be desired but it didn't matter....it was proper old school, rack your own...1 on spot... Gaps everywhere!! And run down tables.... Brilliant!! Lol.
Can't wait for next one.

Also, I think mark was the only player in the tournament who didn't get smashed 2 nights running!

Defo deserved the win tho.... Top performance
