I remember a few years qualifying for a significant tourney on Victor Chandler about 3 weeks before it started. I missed a significant birthday party because I had to play
When the day arrived I went to the pub after work till 7pm.. got a bottle of wine to take home.. the tourney started at 9pm
Next thing I knew I woke up having slept on the floor and the time was 12.30... I didn't play a hand
